The appellate court held the magistrate's acceptance of the prosecution witness's account was supported by the evidence and thus the conviction was safe; contemporaneous demeanour remarks were undesirable but did not establish prejudicial pre-judgment; failure to cross-examine is not an automatic admission; however, sentences for offences arising from the same facts should run concurrently, and the sentence was varied accordingly.
