The court found that the evidence against the appellant was overwhelming and that the trial magistrate was correct in accepting the prosecution's case and rejecting the defence. The appellate court was satisfied that the conviction for obtaining by false pretences was properly entered and that there was no basis to interfere with the findings of the trial court. The sentence had already been served, and thus the appeal was dismissed.
