In my opinion this is not a case for special leave.
Apart from a very substantial lapse of time since the judgment
of the Court of Criminal Appeal, the matter in the judgment
of that Court of which the applicant complains is, in my
opinion, upon its proper analysis, particular to the facts
and circumstances of this case and is not a matter calling
for this Court's further consideration of that aspect of the
judgment of the Court of Criminal Appeal.
In rejecting the application, however, I would
not wish to be taken to agree with all that the Court of Criminal'
Appeal has said in point of general principle as to the ingredients
of the crime of rape; but this is not in my opinion a case in \
which the propriety of those views should be examined.
I would refuse special leave to appeal.
