The guilty plea was set aside because the transcript indicated the plea may not have been the result of a deliberate and informed decision and the mitigation raised a potential defence under section 63(5) which the magistrate should have allowed to be tested at trial; therefore conviction and sentence were quashed and a retrial ordered.
