The magistrate properly excluded induced admissions but, on the unchallenged observations and contemporaneous facts (wearing the stolen article, wrapping in bag, conduct in shop) and the magistrate's adverse credibility finding, there was sufficient evidence to conclude the appellant was aware and intended to steal; the prosecutor's failure to disclose good character was regrettable but did not render the trial unfair; appeal dismissed.
