The judge's interventions, though searching, did not cross the line into demonstrating disbelief or depriving the appellant of a fair trial; the summing-up and directions about the contested confession were adequate and fair; the presumptions arising from possession were properly available to the jury; the seven-year sentence fell within the established tariff for the quantity involved and was not manifestly excessive, therefore both applications for leave to appeal were dismissed.
