The court held that no duty arose to direct the jury on unlawful and dangerous act manslaughter because the cautioned statement, when read in its full factual and evidential context (surrender, solicitor evidence, arraignment and consistent defence of provocation), supported only the provocation defence and did not present an obvious alternative on the evidence; therefore failure to direct did not amount to substantial and grave injustice.
