The conviction was quashed and sentence set aside because the magistrate's refusal to adjourn deprived the appellant of the opportunity to adduce a material medical report that could have assisted his defence and affected the magistrate's assessment of the police evidence; the prosecution conceded prejudice and, given the appellant had effectively served the sentence, a retrial was not ordered.
