The magistrate acted within discretion in excluding the transcript because inconsistencies were not put to the witnesses in a manner that would render the written record admissible; cross-examination and judicial warnings were appropriate; identified inconsistencies did not destroy the basic credibility of PW1 and PW2's evidence was given no weight; therefore the conviction was safe and the appeal must be dismissed.
