Oral evidence of an oral post-arrest statement was admissible because the statement was proved voluntary and the best evidence rule did not bar oral proof of an oral statement recorded in writing; the second defendant's conviction and seven-year sentence were upheld on the evidence; the third defendant's conviction was quashed because the summing-up may have misled the jury regarding presumptions of possession and there was insufficient direct evidence connecting her to the drugs, rendering the verdict unsafe.
