The Magistrate applied the Turnbull guidelines correctly, any remark about police writing ability was an inappropriate but harmless comment that did not amount to judicial notice or prejudice, the appellant suffered no unfairness from counsel's misunderstanding of the statutory provision because the charge was properly amended and the defence (mistaken identity and lack of possession) was unaffected; therefore the appeal must be dismissed.
