WEDNESDAY — Admission
Of Offence
! When Illstone was picked upj
I by the police and charged with i
. the inelegant offence of expo
; sing himself indecently in a',
: railway carriage, he was in-
I cautious enough to remark, "I
! don't want to get into trouble.
ill won't do it again. I have
| done time for this before." His
'?case was heard a few days ago
'.and the court allowed evidence
of Illstone's comment to the
I policeman to be given.
?'I want to appeal," he told
ime this morning. "That evi
i dence of what I said about do
- ing time before should not have
> been allowed. It was nothing
; whatever to do with this par
; ticular charge."
! "I advise you not to appeal,
i Your statement *I have done
I1 time for this before,' was rele
tjvant in this way—it showed
! that you were admitting, that
. j what you had done was a deli
;: berate act. In strictness, what
? a man says in relation to a
' charge is admissible in evi
? dence against him. Your case
: | the other day was heard before
sia magistrate, not in the pre
l' sence of a jury. It was neces
- sary for him to hear what was
said before he could rule
l whether it should be admitted
as evidence or not. I know the
objections to the admission of
* this evidence and I don't con
-jsider they have the weight to
rj succeed."
