In this episode:
• Plea before venue comes first; allocation only follows a not guilty indication
• A guilty indication makes the court proceed as though he pleaded guilty
• Credit of up to one third at the first stage of proceedings
• A related either-way offence is sent without any allocation
• Election belongs to the defendant, and it cannot be withdrawn
