Conviction on review was unsafe because the prosecution was allowed to change its factual basis after the trial without giving the unrepresented appellant a fair opportunity to meet the new case; accordingly the conviction and fine were quashed. However, on the issue of costs the court found there was sufficient basis to refuse the original costs order against the prosecution and dismissed the appellant's challenge to the setting aside of that costs order.
