Section 61:
Conviction to be quashed oil merits only.
(1) No conviction, order or judgment of any
Magistrate under this Act shall be quashed for error of form or procedure, but only on the merits, and it
shall not be necessary to state, on the face of the conviction, order or judgment, the evidence on which it
proceeds.
(2) If no jurisdiction appears on the face of the conviction, order or judgment, but the depositions
taken supply that defect, the conviction, order or judgment shall be aided by what so appears in the
depositions.
