The committal to prison for default was defective because no enquiries were made as to the appellant's means or circumstances of default; the appeal was allowed in part: the six-month sentence for the offence was upheld but the period of incarceration already served for default must be counted as part of that sentence and the imprisonment in default was set aside upon the appellant's undertaking to pay the balance within two months.
