The judge held the magistrate's stated case was procedurally defective and omitted material facts relevant to the legal questions about refusal of adjournment and summary disposition; the magistrate unreasonably refused the Attorney General's proper and relevant amendments; accordingly certiorari was granted to quash the magistrate's rider of refusal and mandamus ordered directing the magistrate to amend the case stated in accordance with the Attorney General's application dated 26 July 1988 (with a limited omission regarding the second question of law).
