The conviction was quashed because the magistrate failed to address a material unexplained discrepancy (a syringe seen in the appellant's hand that was neither charged nor produced), rendering the verdict unsafe; the fine under section 100(b) was set aside because the magistrate did not sufficiently inform the accused that a fine would be imposed for giving false evidence so as to make the imposition inappropriate.
