BRITISH APPEAL COURT.
Bill for Body to ReUie70 Criminal
Cases Passes First Reading.

London April IA bill constituting a court
of criminal appeal which has not heretofore
existed in Great Britain. was introduced In the
House of Commons to-day by Attorney General
Walton. He explained that the measure would
create the right OF appeal against convictions for
crime, similar 10 that existing In civil cases
The new court would consist Of seven judges Of
the Kings Bench Division OF the High Court Of
Justice. TO be selected and presided over by The
Lord Chief Justice. The right Of appeal In mat
ters Of law would be unqualified. and In matters
OF fact It would be left 20 the discretion 20 the
new court. There would be no new trials but
the court would have ample powers TO ge. at
the truth. Il would be able IL necessary, To
summon fresh evidence. and when the court had
satisfied itself of the true merits Of a case it
would be It's duty 10 determine whether the con-
victiOn should stand. be set aside or be modified
The Attorney General added that this was not
"a rich mans bin" An Official would be ap-
pointed whose duty It would be to collect the
material necessary IN order TO have a case re-
heard and IL professional assistance was re-
quired q solicitor AMI counsel would be provided
Tor poor prisoners. The prerogative Of the
Crown In regard to mercy would be left un-
touched, but the Home Secretary would have
the inesumable advantage Of being able to take
the opinion OF the Court Of Criminal Appeal
The judges constituting the new court would be
expected 10 perform the duties attached to their
new positions in addition to the functions which
they now discharge.
The Attorney General said the bill was not a
party measure and he hoped II would be re-
garced as non-cOntentious. II would end CON
troVeTsy which had engaged the attention OF
parliament for fifty years. and its adoption was
made necessary by the fact that justice had
blundered. Innocent persons had been convicted,
and the number OF victims Of judicial miscar-
rage in recent years was not inconsidera bic.
t-nterprising newspapers had rushed in where
aurists feared to tread. Retrial by newspaper
had taken place instead Of a rehearing before
tucicial tribunal.

tion It is true only to the extent that shall obey
