“…86 Similarly, Cato argues that there is 'no compelling reason why in the public interest a secondary party to a joint enterprise should be at a greater risk of conviction for murder than a person who actually kills' . 87 In a similar vein, Bronitt and McSherry state that 'regrettably, while common purpose is regarded as a form of accessorial liability, there has been limited consideration by Australian courts of the lack of symmetry between the fault required for accessorial liability by aiding, abetting, counselling or procuring and common purpose'.…”

This Article is a comparative study of the doctrine of common purpose as a ground of criminal liability for the commission of an additional offence under the criminal laws of Jordan and Australia. Despite its various problematic aspects, there is no explicit regulation on this area of criminal complicity in the Jordanian Penal Code 1960 No 16 JPC. Whereas, in NSW although this doctrine is considered in many case laws, yet the approach adopted by the courts in setting its ambit is inconsistent and obscure. This Article considers the substantive law on this aspect of criminal complicity in both jurisdictions, and explores how such criminal liability can be understood in terms of the notion of individual autonomy. To this end, the Article is divided into three sections. In section 1, it addresses the concept and components of individual autonomy, while in Sections 2 and 3 it uses this notion to analyze the common purpose doctrine as a ground of criminal liability in NSW and Jordan. The comparative analysis conducted in this paper shows that the criminal law in NSW holds liable offenders who embark upon a primary criminal venture contemplating as a possible outcome the commission of another incidental offence by the co-offender during the course of carrying out that primary criminal venture. Various different possibilities as to the type of such contemplation are considered in this regard. Comparatively, it is demonstrated that there is no explicit legal provision in the JPC concerning this area of criminal complicity towards which specific suggestions for possible law reform are provided.

The University of Michigan programme for the determination of the abundances of the elements in hot stars involves an observational, a theoretical, and an experimental phase. A description of the spectrum of 7 Pegasi from •3570-).3970 and the profiles of the stronger lines in the photographic region illustrate the type of observational material that is being employed in this investigation. The point of view adopted for the theoretical programme is next described. Briefly, the model atmosphere of any given star must represent the observations of the continuous energy distribution, the Balmer discontinuity, the relative intensities of different spectral lines and the profiles of the stronger lines, notably those of hydrogen and helium. For this phase, a knowledge of the line-broadening coefficient is essential. Hence the emphasis on the experimental work with the luminous shock tube in which the Stark broadening of lines of hydrogen and other gases can be studied.
