(" Times Law Reports," Vol. xxvii, page 256.) [ COURT OP CRIMINAL APPEAL —( LORD ALVERSTONE, C. J., COLERIDGE AND HAMILTON, JJ.) 13th February, 1911.] REX V. DOUGLAS CAMPBELL. Criminal Law — Practice — Statements by Police Officer after Conviction of Prisoner. Where, after a prisoner has been convicted, a police officer makes a statement to the Judge as to the prisoner's antecedents, and the prisoner does not chal- lenge the accuraoy of that statement, the Judge is entitled to take it into consideration on the question of sentence, notwithstanding that some parts of the statement may be hearsay. If, however, the prisoner challenges any part of the statement, the Judge should then inquire into it and if he thinks it of sufficient importance that it ought to be proved by legal evidence he can, if necessary, adjourn the case for such proof to be forthcoming ; or, instead of doing this, he can disregard the disputed part of the state- ment altogether. THIS was an application for leave to appeal against a sentence of three years' penal servitude for false pretences. Mr. ROOME appeared for the applicant. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, after stating that the Court saw no ground for giving leave to appeal, said that Mr. Roome had acked him to express an opinion as to the practice of police officers, after a prisoner was convioted, making a statement to the Judge as to the prisoner's anteci d- ei. ts, ttiis practice being, it was said, objectionable on the ground that much of what was stated was mere hearsay, As this matter had bt en under consideration both by the Home Office and by the Judges he would take the opportunity of saying that for many years it had been the practice, after the conviction of a prisoner, for tome lesponsible officer of police to give the Judge all tbe information that had been obtained regarding the prisoner, and to a certain extent legal proof of all such statements could not usually be obtained without great expense. On some circuits, particularly the Northern Circuit, that practice had long been well known andxacted on ; on other circuits ihe practice wa9 not so well known. In consequence of that he ( the Lord Chief Justice) gave instructions some time ago that on all circuits, so far as possible, there should be given to the Judge accurate information as to the con- dition and antecedents of the prisoner— although legal proof as to the whole of the information might not be available at tbe moment. So well known had the practice become that the following words were inserted in subsection 5 of section 10 of the Prevention of Crime Act, 1908 : " Without prejudice to any right of the accused to tender evidence as to his character and repute, evidence of character and repute may, if the Court thinks fit, be admitted as evid- ence on the question whether the accused is or is not lead- ing persistently a dishonest or criminal life." That provision was inserted in order to attract to the procedure under that Act the practice to which he had referred. Occasionally, no doubt, police constables might have said more tban they ought, but there was not the slightest evid- ence of that having occurred in the case now before them. When a statement was made as to a prisoner, and the latter did not admit its truth, he could at once inform the Court of that fact; and this observation was especially appli- cable when the prisoner was represented by oounsel. If a prisoner challenged a statement of fact and said that it was untrue, it was then the duty of the Judge to inquire inio it, and if he thought the matter of sufficient importance that it ought to be proved by legal evidence, he could, if necessary, adjourn the case for that purpose; or the Judge oould adopt the course which was frequently adopted — and rightly adopted— of disregarding the disputed point altogether. Where, however, the prisoner did not challenge the statement made by the police officer the Judge could properly consider it. The application now before them would be refused.
