The judge's directions were correct and lawful because the defence consistently ran the case solely on provocation such that murderous intent was not a live issue at trial and there was no sufficient evidential foundation to leave an alternative verdict of unlawful and dangerous act manslaughter to the jury; accordingly the application for leave to appeal and the appeal are dismissed.
