"I mean to keep my promise to the Judge to go straight. Freedom after all this time-it doesn't acemi real. know I shall succeal."

In these words ex-convict William Refly, aged 55, a painter, told me of the hope with which he faced the future following his release at the Old Bailey earlier in the day after serving terms of imprisonment amounting to nearly 38 years.

He owed what he described as "the only chance I ever had" to the Old Bailey Recorder, Sir Holman Gregory, K.C., before whom he appeared on a charge of breaking and entering a warehouse and stealing a coat.

Slr Holman Gregory gave him a keen look and said: "Do you solemn- ly and sincerely declare your inten- tion to go straight for the rest of your life?"

Rellly glanced up hopefully, and replied: "I do, my lord."
