Because the appellant was charged under s46(1)(a) alleging he caused the discharge, the prosecution was required to prove causation beyond reasonable doubt; particulars as to vessel ownership were surplusage and section 36's extended meaning did not apply to s46 in Part VI, therefore absence of proof that he caused the discharge required quashing the conviction.
