This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1888 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER I. GENERAL EXPLANATIONS. 71. Mr. Norton says, "This Chapter appears to me to exemplify "vagueness and uncertainty in language," and "to contain many in"correct positions, and some that are arbitrary and inconsistent." 72-Mr. Norton finds vagueness and uncertainty in what appears to us so explicit and definite, that, but for the instance he affords in his own case, we could not have supposed it possible to be misconceived by any instructed person endeavouring to understand it.

Yeo's work examines the laws of England, Australia and India pertaining to the fault elements required for the crimes of murder and manslaughter. It contends that the Indian laws are superior and suggests a set of draft provisions which could comprise a viable model for reform of the English and Australian laws. The work is directly relevant to issues being considered in the development of the Model Criminal Code.
