to criticism. Having said that, . however, I cannot understand why the Editors did not include a section on Offences Against The State. Secondly, the case book is one concerned with Criminal Law and accordingly, many cases dealing with evidence and criminal procedure have been omitted. There have been very real developments in both of these fields, so much so that the practise of criminal law has altered considerably in the past ten years. It would, I feel, have been preferable to include a section concerning Burden of Proof and Issues for Judge and Jury, which belong more to the realm of the Law of Evidence. Finally, I would have thought that cases such as " Oglesby " (1966) (receiving), "Murtagh " (1966) (non-capital murder) and " Holmes -v - Furlong " (1967) (Extradition) to name a few, deserved inclusion but I suppose if all the important cases were included the book would have been twice as long. Having critcised this Casebook it is only fair to say that I think it is a highly worthwhile achievement and I would recommend it to both students and all others interested in the Criminal Law. The questions at the end of each section are interesting though by their very nature, somewhat academic. The additional references to other cases are invaluable. The book has already proved of value to me, and I have no doubt that it will be consulted quite regularly in the future. MICHAEL STAINES
