Another example of a non-hearsay use of evidence is to be found where, in a trial on a charge of deemed supply (based on the possession of the required quantity of drugs), an agreement to supply the drugs was also established based on oral statements between the accused and an undercover police officer: R v Macraild (unrep, 18/12/97, NSWCCA) at It can scarcely be doubted that an assertion made in words is intended by the declarant to be an assertion.

An example is evidence from a doctor of a medical history given to the doctor. Hence the rule contains no special provisions concerning failure to deny in criminal cases. The prior consistent statement is only admissible in special circumstances, and then again not as evidence of the truth of its contents. But equally often, the proponent of what appears to be hearsay evidence will attempt to introduce it for a non-hearsay purpose, i.e., for a purpose other than to establish the truth of the matter asserted. However, the effect of Lee is that evidence of unintended implied assertions or second-hand hearsay may be treated as subject to the hearsay rule, contrary to the ALRCs intentions. The High Courts interpretation of the effect of s 60 is contrary to the ALRCs intention, and runs counter to the policy underlying the admissibility of evidence in the uniform Evidence Acts. 1971) (restricting the admissibility of prior inconsistent statements as substantive evidence to those made under oath in a formal proceeding, but not requiring that there have been an opportunity for cross-examination). 408, 95 L.Ed 534, letters of complaint from customers offered as a reason for cancellation of dealer's franchise, to rebut contention that franchise was revoked for refusal to finance sales through affiliated finance company.
