Oral admissions at scene were voluntary and admissible despite exclusion of a later post‑recorded caution statement; knowledge of the precise nature of the goods was unnecessary for smuggling liability where defendant knew goods were being illicitly transported; mis‑pleading under the Regulations rather than the Ordinance was fatal for those counts and convictions on those counts were quashed; remaining convictions were upheld because discrepancies were immaterial and magistrate correctly assessed witnesses and applied s.27 principles to trivial variances.
