The appeal was allowed and convictions quashed because the trial judge failed to address the specific risk of convicting on the evidence of the illegal entrants who were effectively accomplices without indicating he had considered the need for corroboration, and material exhibits were improperly returned before the appeal period rendering the court unable to apply the proviso; these defects required overturning the convictions.
