1:33:04
You'd better begin again, Mr Myers.
1:33:07
That is, if Sir Wilfrid
is at all interested in our proceedings.
1:33:11
I am, indeed, my lord. The speech
for the crown, however, is premature.
1:33:16
I ask that the case for the defence be
reopened. And that a witness be recalled.
1:33:20
I most strenuously object to the case
being reopened at this final stage.
1:33:24
Evidence of a startling nature
has come into my possession.
1:33:28
The course my learned friend
proposes is quite unprecedented.
1:33:31
I have anticipated this objection
and can meet it with ample precedent.
1:33:35
There is the king vs Stillman, reported
in the criminal appeal reports of 1926
1:33:40
at page 463.
1:33:43
Also, the king vs Porter in volume one
of the king's bench division reports,
1:33:47
1942 at page 153.
1:33:50
And lastly there is the case
of the king vs Sullivan
1:33:53
in which this issue was raised, which
I'm sure Your Lordship will remember,
1:33:57
since you appeared for the prosecution.
1:34:00
I did? Oh, yes, before Mr Justice Swindon.
1:34:05
What is this new evidence, Sir Wilfrid?
1:34:07
Letters, my lord.
1:34:09
Letters written by Christine Helm.
1:34:14
My lord, the prosecution
continues its objection.
1:34:18
If my memory serves me well,
Your Lordship's similar objection
1:34:21
in the king against Sullivan
was sustained.
1:34:27
Your memory, for once,
serves you ill, Mr Myers.
1:34:30
My objection then was overruled
by Mr Justice Swindon.
1:34:35
As yours is now, by me.
1:34:44
Call Christine Helm.
1:34:47
Christine Helm.
1:34:48
- Christine Helm.
