Appeal allowed because the appellant's uncontested explanation, corroborated by the police memo, established an honest mistaken belief caused by transfer notices being given to persons outside the court while he remained inside, which amounted to reasonable cause for his non‑appearance; therefore the fine was improperly sustained and must be set aside with refund of any payment.
