Conviction unsafe because the particulars expressly alleged the appellant committed the overt act on board the barge while the appellant was not on board and the magistrate's conviction rested on an unsupported positive finding that the appellant gave instructions to export without a manifest; absent evidential support and proper direction on the effect of lies the conviction could not stand and was set aside.
