Manslaughter could properly be left to the jury in respect of the first appellant; a single verdict of 'not guilty of murder but guilty of manslaughter' (unanimous or by majority per s24) is the correct form and it was unnecessary and improper for the Trial Judge to require a separate unanimous acquittal or to interrogate the jury after an unambiguous verdict; despite the improper questioning, the convictions and sentences were upheld and the appeals dismissed.
