§
Amendment proposed—
Page 2, line 22, leave out 'In every criminal prosecution after this Act,' and insert 'where.'"—(Sir E. Clarke.)
SIR R. WEBSTERI am thankful to my honourable and learned Friend for pointing out that my Amendment did not cover the whole case. It had occurred to me that it might be left to the Court, but I agree that it is much better to determine at once the particular stage of the proceedings at which the evidence shall be competent, and I agree to these Amendments.
§ Amendment agreed to.
