The magistrate erred by admitting the cautioned statement on the basis that the defendant was likely telling the truth rather than determining whether the statement was made voluntarily without inducement; the magistrate failed to consider the alleged inducement and therefore applied the wrong principle; without the cautioned statement the remaining evidence was insufficient to convict beyond reasonable doubt, so the conviction must be quashed.
