Because the Magistrate's intervention and phrasing likely caused the appellant to believe he should admit possession (rather than clearly informing him he could refuse to admit), combined with confusion over exhibit identification making the admission equivocal, the conviction could not stand as justice was not manifestly seen to have been done; appeal must be allowed and conviction quashed.
