In an appeal against conviction on a single indictment of one count of buggery and one count of indecent assault, where the judge omitted to direct the jury to guard against any feelings of repugnance which may have prejudiced their views, including evidence heard on the appellant's previous convictions, the conviction for indecent assault was quashed as unsafe.
