The court held that accepting large payments as general 'sweeteners' tied to the prospect of public office can constitute misconduct in public office without proof of a particular specified act; the trial judge's directions were correct, the jury's mixed verdicts were not irrationally inconsistent, and the applicant failed to show his appeal was likely to succeed so bail pending appeal was refused.
