The case of R v Governor of Pentonville Prison, ex parte Bone (1994) 159 JP 111 was to receive wider attention in order to avoid the lacuna which was perceived to follow the implementation of s.1 Bail (Amendment) Act 1993, which conferred on the prosecution the right of appeal without requiring the Crown Court judge to specify that the period of the defendant's detention was within the magistrates' jurisdiction.
