KINGDON, C.J., NIGERIA, BUTLER LLOYD AND FRANCIS, J.J., NIGERIA. As we understand the case submitted to us we are asked our opinion on one point only, namely, did the Court come to a correct decision in point of law in deciding that it could convict the accused mainly on the depositions of witnesses whose attendance could not be procured, made evidence under section 27 of Chapter 15 and not objected to at the. We answer this question in the affirmative.
We are not asked and our opinion does not cover the question whether or not the facts found proved showed such a high degree of negligence on the part of the accused as to justify the verdict of guilty of manslaughter.
