HC Deb 26 November 1952 vol 508 c53W
68. Mr. J. Hynd

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how far it is within the competence of the Court of Appeal in Kenya to review the evidence as well as the sentence in any case where the evidence has been obtained on affidavit.

Mr. Lyttelton

The Court may, on appeal, or on reference, quash, modify or confirm these sentences, and can and should at the same time review the evidence and decide whether it is admissible and the weight that ought to be attached to it.
