Locality of the act causing death is a jurisdictional matter, not an essential element of murder; where counsel expressly concedes jurisdiction and the evidence and plea support that the fatal act occurred within Hong Kong, the judge is not required to leave jurisdiction as a live issue to the jury, and no miscarriage of justice arose from declining to do so; application to appeal was dismissed.
