Where, after the quashing of a criminal conviction, a claim was made for statutory compensation "on the ground that a new or newly discovered fact" had shown beyond reasonable doubt that there had been a miscarriage of justice, such material had to have emerged after the appellate process had been exhausted. Its disclosure between trial and an appeal brought within the normal time limit could not engage it.
