Deposition
Deposition: (1) Depriving of a dignity, etc. (2) The act of giving public testimony, technically, the evidence put down in writing by way of answer to questions. It is an incontrovertible rule at Common Law, that when the witness himself can be produced, his deposition may not be read, for it is not the best evidence. But it may be read not only where it appears that the witness is actually dead, but in all cases where he is dead for all purposes of evidence: as where diligent search has been made for the witness and he cannot be found; where he resides in a place beyond the jurisdiction of the Court; or where he has become lunatic. See now, however, R. S.C. 1883, Ord. XXXVII., rr. 1, 5; and EVIDENCE; PERPETUATE TESTIMONY, BILLS TO.As to deposition in criminal proceedings (in connec-tion with which the term is most commonly used), see especially the (English) Indictable Offences Act, 1848 (11 & 12 Vict. c. 42), s. 17, and the (English) Criminal Law Amendment Act, 1867 (30 & 31 Vict. c....
Accused, statement of
Accused, statement of. Where an accused person is brought before justices of the peace, the (English) Criminal Justice Act, 1925 (15 & 16 Geo. 5, c. 86), s. 12, directs the justices, after the close of the evidence for the prosecution, to ask him whether he wishes to say anything in answer to the charge, telling him that he is not obliged to say anything unless he desires to do so, but that whatever he says will be taken down in writing, and may be given in evidence upon his trial. The justices, before the accused person makes any statement, must make him clearly understand that he has nothing to hope from any promise of favour, and nothing to fear from any threat which may have been held out to him to induce him to make any confession, but that whatever he says may be given in evidence upon his trial, notwithstanding such promise or threat. Whatever the accused states in answer to the charge shall be taken down in the manner shown in the forms prescribed by the rules made under the Ac...
