413 Power to grant new trial
On an appeal against a finding of guilt on indictment the Court may,
either of its own motion or on the application of the appellant, order
a new trial in such manner as it thinks fit if the Court considers that
a miscarriage of justice has occurred and that, having regard to all
the circumstances, such miscarriage of justice can be more
adequately remedied by an order for a new trial than by any other
order that the Court is empowered to make.
