WHEREAS subsection 1(c) of section 6A of the Suitors Fund Act 1951, provides that, where the hearing of any proceedings is discontinued and a new trial ordered by the presiding judge for a reason not attributable in any way to disagreement on the part of the jury, or to the act, neglect or default of the accused or his counsel or attorney the presiding judge may grant to the accused a certificate stating the reason why the proceedings were discontinued and that the reason was not attributable in any way to disagreement on the part of the jury, or to the act, neglect or default of the accused or his counsel or attorney:

AND WHEREAS that certificate entitles the accused to whom it is granted from the Suitors' Fund certain costs he may incur by reason of the new trial that is had as a consequence of the proceedings being so rendered abortive:

AND WHEREAS the trial of FRED BLOGGS which commenced on 1 April 2000 was discontinued on 1 April 2000 because of the failure or refusal of a Crown witness namely one JOHN SMITH, to attend Court, and that the reason was not in any way attributable to the act, neglect or default of the accused, his counsel or attorney,

THIS CERTIFICATE, is under the above recited subsection, granted to FRED BLOGGS, the accused in the trial in the above matter.
