The charge was amendable on appeal by correcting 'Section' to 'Regulation' and 'Ordinance' to 'Regulations' to properly allege an offence under Regulation 19(g)(i); because the correct offence carried a lower maximum (1 year) than the sentence imposed (15 months), the sentence was unlawful and was quashed and substituted to permit the appellant's immediate release.
