early sown cereal crops are usually

by advancing the sowing two or three

LONDON. May ie.--fhe new Court Of
Criminal Appeal held its first session yes-
terdsy and justified It's existence by re-
leasing prisoner who had been convicted
on insufficient evidence. The opposition
to the right Of appeal in English criminal
cases has been based chiefly on the fear
that IL would produce what are usually
described as American evils In the ad-
ministration of justice. These evils are
summarized as unnecessary delay and the
thwarting of Justice by frivolous tech-
nicalities. .....1 - :,
Lord Chief Justice Alverstone at the
first Session made 1t clear that 1t would be
tho effort Of tho court to avoid these evils
and the Appeals Court dismissed all but
one case, that Of a man who had been con-
victed Of passing spurious money. He
pleaded in the lower court that he was
ignoraet Of the fact that tho MONEY was
spurious. An attempt lwss made to show
that he< had passed another bad coin a
fortnight before the transaction for which
he was arrested The prisoner proved an
alibi later by showing that he was In jail
at the time Of the former alleged OCCUR
renee.
The Judge Of tho lower court failed TO
warn the jury that they must not regard
the mans admission Of imprisonment
against him, and for that reason the Ap-
peals Court discharged him.
