The appeal was dismissed: the trial judge's directions on alibi and general approach to the evidence were adequate and any imprecise phrasing did not render the conviction unsafe; counsel's decision not to call two alibi witnesses was a permissible tactical exercise of discretion, not a refusal to act on instructions nor flagrantly incompetent advocacy, and therefore did not constitute a material irregularity requiring quashing of the conviction.
