The guilty plea was invalid because the magistrate failed to record that the facts were read and that the appellant admitted those facts and understood the nature and consequences of his plea as required by s173(b) and related provisions; this procedural omission rendered the plea defective and the conviction and sentence could not be sustained and must be set aside with a new trial ordered.
