Judgment & Decree
LORD OAKSEY.-In this case the learned Chief Justice gave judgment before the report of their Lordships' Board in the case of Tumahole Bereng and others v. The King. His Lordship stated that one accomplice can corroborate another. That view of the law has now been overruled by their Lordships' Board. But it appears that the learned Chief Justice really decided the case quite independently of this view of the law, that he relied upon the corroboration of independent evidence of witnesses who impli cated a number of the accused, and was fully aware of the danger of accepting the uncorroborated evidence of accomplices. It is conceded that there was independent evidence proving that the murder had actually been committed. In their Lordships' opinion there was no miscarriage of justice in this case Accordingly, they will humbly advise His Majesty that the Petition for special leave to appeal ought to be dismissed. A. H. Petition dismissed.
