The lies direction given was a proper exercise of judicial discretion and was not unfair or materially prejudicial; the summing‑up as a whole was balanced and did not render the trial unsafe; the judge was entitled to treat the applicant's previous rape conviction as an aggravating factor when fixing sentence; the concurrent sentences of 10 years were not manifestly excessive and leave to appeal against conviction and sentence was refused.
