The application for habeas corpus was refused because (1) uncertified translations were admissible where translators had given evidence and documents were authenticated under Article 11 of the Fugitive Offenders Order; (2) the correct test for committal/extradition is whether there is a prima facie case; (3) the R v Brown and Hedley practice relates to trial issues and is not applicable at committal; and (4) a magistrate need not require corroboration of accomplice evidence at committal, since corroboration and warning are matters for trial.
