The absence of any written record of the alleged admissions, coupled with no attempt to trace the phone's owner and deficiencies in the magistrate's reliance on demeanour (including inaccuracies in his account of the appellant's evidence), rendered the conviction unsafe; appellate court must quash the conviction and set aside the sentence.
