The defects alleged (missing magistrate‑signed list and certain transmission formalities) were procedural and not fatal; the materials had been considered by the magistrate and exist or can be produced, so the committal was not a nullity; the defendant failed to prove on balance of probabilities that continuation would make a fair trial impossible or constitute an abuse of process; accordingly the indictment is not quashed and no stay is warranted.
