KOLYNOS PROTECTION

Thousands of dentists recommend Kolynos not only for adults but to protect the teeth of growing children.

Kolynos cleans teeth gently and safely and protects them from the dangerous germs that attack the teeth and cause decay. applicable to a case of murder in the way in which it is to be fourd in the old authorities."

The Attorney General then granted his flat for. a further appeal to the House of Lords, the sole point at issue being that of onus of proof. Nowhere in the Lord Chancellor's speech can we find any other subject discussed. The portion of that speech, the omission of which Mr. Newman complains of, is clearly only explanatory and illustrative of the misconception on the real law as to onus of proof which had been current for at least 170 years. On no other interpretation of that paragraph can one reconcile and explain the paragraph which immediately follows. "It is not the law of England to say, as Was said in the summing up in the present case: If the Crown satisfy you that this woman died at the prisoner's hands then he has to show that there are circumstances to be found in the evidence which has been given from the witness box in this case which alleviate the crime so that, it is only manslaughter or which excuse the homicide altogether by showing it was a pure accident!" No, says the Lord Chancellor, that is not the law: that never was the lew. The paragraph ig no more than a restatement of the one principle with which alone the whole judgment is concerned, that throughout a criminal trial the onus of proof never shifts from the Crown.

In the summing up complained of the learned trial judge correctly explained the law on that point and no exception to his summing up can be taken, The appeal fails and must be dismissed.

Keep your children's teeth and mouth safely clean with Kolynos. Teach them to brush their teeth at least twice a day, morning and night. Children like the cool, refreshing taste of Kolynos.
