The appellate court concluded the magistrate had not safely resolved whether the cooks were employees or independent contractors and had relied on the appellant's use of the word 'employ' without appreciating it could mean engagement of independent contractors; because the evidence was insufficient to establish appellant as proprietor carrying on the restaurant business beyond reasonable doubt, the convictions were unsafe and were quashed.
