1. This case has caused us considerable difficulty, primarily due to the somewhat inadequate and unsatisfactory presentation of the facts following upon a plea of guilty. The appellant was originally charged with murder; he pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of manslaughter and that plea was accepted both by the Crown and by the trial judge. He was sentenced to five years' imprisonment. He now applies for leave to appeal against that sentence.
