    Appellant's in-court plea and caution statement were clear, voluntary and unambiguous; the admitted facts constituted the offence; appellant failed to demonstrate coercion, ambiguity or other legal defects in the plea or to produce new evidence of such force between plea and sentence; on re-hearing the evidence (including police observation and seized items) sufficed to support conviction beyond reasonable doubt; appeal is dismissed and original conviction and sentence are upheld.
