 The case of "R v Gilham" (1828) 1 Mood CC 186, CCR, concerned the admission of evidence against a prisoner of an acknowledgment of his guilt which had been induced by the ministrations and words of the Protestant prison chaplain.The acknowledgment of the murder with which he was charged was made by the prisoner to the jailer and, subsequently, to the authorities.The Catholic Encyclopedia contends that he appears to have made no acknowledgment of his crime to the chaplain himself and that the question of confessional privilege did not arise.
