The trial judge's directions were overall adequate for the first applicant and his conviction and sentence are upheld. Although the judge ought to have directed the jury that the first applicant's admissions were not evidence against the second applicant, the appellate court applied the proviso and concluded that a reasonable properly directed jury would inevitably have convicted the second applicant on the evidence; accordingly both applicants' convictions and sentences were affirmed.
