- CACC227/1968
The appeal is dismissed because: (1) the forgery charge phrased 'with intent to deceive or defraud' was not bad for duplicity as forgery is the single gravamen and intent alternatives are permissible; (2) the Magistrate had sufficient evidence to find possession of the forged licence; (3) the statement was properly admitted after the voire dire and credibility findings will not be disturbed on appeal; (4) the Magistrate's conduct in cross-examination did not amount to reversible error; and (5) the misdirection about signatures did not affect the ultimate result.
