The appellant did not, by his cross-examination or conduct, clearly put the prosecution witnesses' character in issue and thus retained protection under s.54(1)(f); the magistrate should not have allowed cross-examination on the appellant's record or relied on convictions or matters not placed in evidence; conviction is unsafe and must be quashed and remitted for fresh hearing.
