An example of a series of acts that might be termed a continuous transaction appears in Meli v. The Queen, [1954] 1 W.L.R. 228 (P.C.).  There the accused intended to kill the deceased, and to this end struck a number of blows.  The effect of the blows was such that the accused thought the victim was dead and threw the body over a cliff.  However, it was not the blows but rather the exposure suffered by the victim while he lay at the base of the cliff that resulted in the death.  It was argued on behalf of the accused that when there was the requisite mens rea (during the beating) death did not ensue and when death did ensue there was no longer any intention to kill.  The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council concluded that the entire episode was one continuing transaction that could not be subdivided in that way.  At some point, the requisite mens rea coincided with the continuing series of wrongful acts that constituted the transaction.  As a result, the conviction for murder was sustained.  I agree with that conclusion.
