1. The question of law we were requested to certify was "whether, in a case where each of 2 or more accused testify that they are innocent of the offence and their co-accused is guilty of that offence, it is permissible in law for the trial judge to limit the use that the jury may make of that evidence by directing them that they may not use the evidence of one accused in convicting the co-accused?"
