The appeal was dismissed because the Court found the prosecution failed to show that the Magistrate's primary factual finding — that the words were ambiguous and did not amount to a threat to injure — was so perverse that no reasonable magistrate could have reached it; consequently the appellant did not meet the threshold required to overturn the acquittal on case stated review.
