THIS
volume contains summaries of and comments on over
100
cases decided in
1968
arranged under about
60
headings in alphabetical order. A comparison
with the
Current
Law
Year
Book
for
1968,
which contains
179
entries under the
rubric
of
Criminal Law, shows that most of the cases decided in
1968
have
been included; on the other hand there are some surprising omissions, such
as
Nierer
(on receiving) or
Cunninghamt
(on provocation). As the decision of the
Court
of
Appeal in
Re
Hastingr
is reported, there should be at least
a
reference
to
Re Hastings
(No.
$)
which was decided later on in the Divisional Court.
In view
of
the possibly misleading direction on page vii it should be empha-
sised that this volume provides
only
brief summaries
of
the decisions. The
principal contribution made by it must therefore be sought in the commentaries
which draw attention to the important and controversial aspects
of
the decisions
and which also give some useful directions to other literature. Payee of
a
cheque should be substituted
for
drawee on page

in the comments on
Potter.
