VAN LARE J.A. AS C.J., GRANVILLE SHARP
J.A. AND OLLENNU J.<o:p></o:p>

</div><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>JUDGMENT OF GRANVILLE SHARP J.A.<o:p></o:p>(His
lordship stated the facts, referred to “the incontrovertible evidence” and the
failure of the defence of alibi, and proceeded:)<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>Realising
the vanity of any attempt to complain about the summing-up of the learned Judge
in relation to the evidence as to the appellant’s responsibility for a wounding
which was followed by the death of the victim, Counsel for the appellant took
refuge in an additional ground of appeal, which we gave him leave to file. This
was as follows: “The learned Judge erred
in failing to consider whether the treatment given to the deceased in hospital
may have been responsible for his death.”<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>As to
this, it is enough to say that death resulting from treatment of a wound
unlawfully inflicted does not, however inadequate such treatment may have been,
exonerate the person who inflicted the wound from responsibility in law for the
consequences of his act, unless the treatment itself amounts to murder or
manslaughter. The evidence in this case shows that, in fact, every available
means of treatment was used, and that the deceased was tended with anxious care
in an attempt to allay the effects of his wounds, and to save his life.<o:p></o:p>
