The conviction was upheld because the magistrate was entitled to accept the prosecution eyewitness whose identification was supported by long acquaintance, good lighting, short distance and sustained observation; the magistrate's careful Turnbull-style direction (which erred in favour of the defendant) and his assessment of credibility were proper, and there was no merit in challenges to the sufficiency of the evidence or the absence of a jury.
