Conviction quashed because the appellant's difficulty with punti dialect and the magistrate's contradictory findings and undue reliance on the appellant's demeanour rendered the conviction unsafe; sentence set aside and no retrial ordered due to the minor nature of the offence and unavailability of the defence witness.
