evidence governing the plea are unclear. The author points out that the Dwyer approach was adopted, and later rejected as unworkable, by the English and Australian courts. The article therefore combines a comprehensive statement of the present law with a well argued appeal for reform. The Journal has already established an impressive record, much of which can no doubt be attributed to the industry of its editor. Irish criminal law is under- going important changes at present. A new reforming zeal has gripped those entrusted with the task of revising and updating legislation in this field.

Accordingly, there is much work to be done by the Journal in meeting the demands of this change. Its future looks secure.
