The convictions were safe because the appellants expressly admitted facts sufficient to establish membership of the unlawful society and attendance in furtherance of its purposes, so the hearsay suggestion about an assault in Room 23 was unnecessary; however the magistrate misapplied sentencing limits for first offenders under s.20(1)(a) and the appropriate term after discount is eight months, to be served consecutively to earlier unrelated sentences.
