The magistrate did not abuse his discretion in ordering a trial de novo because the established errors were procedural (admission or unclear ruling on a confession and failure to disclose reliance on books under s.38) which justified a fresh hearing; the appellant's admission that he was a member was insufficient alone to prove membership but could support a conviction for claiming membership; appeal dismissed and order for retrial upheld.
