1. The appellant was found guilty of murder and sentenced to death. He appeals against his conviction. It is not necessary to set out the facts of the case. Various grounds of appeal were put forward but it is only necessary to deal with one: namely, that there was an inadequate direction to the jury as to the burden of proof on the issue of provocation.
