The magistrate's enquiry was a proper attempt to elicit potentially exculpatory evidence for an unrepresented defendant, did not amount to a finding of accidental fact nor a reversal of the burden of proof, and the transcript together with independent witness evidence supported the magistrate's credibility findings and the guilty verdict, so the appeal is dismissed.
