The conviction was unsafe and must be quashed because the charge particulars were wrongly drawn (the alleged representation related to a cheque drawn by another person, not the applicant) and the District Court judge's Reasons for Verdict were inadequate and included a factual misconception; the Court would not substitute different particulars or convict of an alternative offence where the trial was conducted on the defective charge and the judge did not make required findings, and the proviso could not be applied.
