We allow the alternative application to amend which has been made by Mr Lyons to this extent, namely, that the omissions relied on in sub-paragraphs (a) to (l) of paragraph A and the failure alleged in sub-paragraph (b) of paragraph C may be relied on in support of the general ground of appeal that the learned recorder's findings were against the weight of the evidence.
That leaves paragraph D. At the moment we are not sure that that is an arguable ground of appeal, but we will not rule on it at the moment until we know more about the case and the way in which it is put by Mr Lyons when he comes to deal with that point.
