The trial judge's premature, prejudicial interventions and his prohibition on leading relevant evidence in the accused's examination-in-chief were serious irregularities that materially hindered the defence, were not cured by subsequent cross-examination, and therefore the conviction could not stand; appeal allowed and retrial ordered.
