    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMA381/1996

    The appeal was dismissed because the magistrate's credibility findings were open on the evidence: the admissions were held to be voluntary and reliable, the magistrate expressly considered and rejected the assault allegation, he had regard to the medical report and made allowances for the appellant's impairments, and any reliance on demeanour did not constitute sole or impermissible basis for the verdict; therefore no miscarriage of justice was shown.
