At the start of a warrant-trial begun on a police report, if the accused appears or is produced, the Magistrate must personally satisfy himself that the procedural safeguards in the earlier provision were observed: the accused was informed of the charge, supplied necessary copies and warned about the right to defend. If these were not done, the Magistrate must complete them before proceeding.
