The court upheld the magistrate's exercise of discretion refusing costs because, on the evidence (forceful striking of the victim's car window and repeated profanities while the victim was inside), the appellant's conduct could reasonably cause alarm and constituted self‑suspicion related to the charge; despite a procedural shortcoming at the magistrates' hearing the appellate court, on rehearing, found the refusal of costs justified and dismissed the appeal.
