1. We do not think that there is anything in the first two grounds. The jury would know from the general directions on the burden and standard of proof that they should acquit if they thought that the applicant’s out-of-court denials were or might be true. As for a lies direction, none was needed. There were no admitted lies. And the prosecution had merely attacked the out-of-court denials ¾ as they naturally had to since they were alleging that the applicant was guilty.
