Majority held the magistrate erred: omission of para (h) from the 1906 Criminal Evidence Ordinance did not, on the proper construction read with the existing provision preserving English practice, abrogate the accused's right to make an unsworn statement; in any event the long-established practice in Hong Kong had become a rule of law and the appellant was entitled to make such a statement. The appeal was allowed.
