Section 19(2) of the Magistrates Ordinance does not confer a right of reply on the prosecution in the specific circumstances where the defendant is unrepresented and, apart from giving evidence himself, has not called any witnesses; Au-yeung Tat-shing was wrongly decided and should not be followed; the procedural error did not render the conviction unsafe and the appeal is dismissed.
