The judge held that- the appellant had been properly convicted for a breach of one by-law and quashed the other conviction. He said that the first conviction should be referred back to the Magistrate, not with a . direction to -.amendbut to allow him, if he thought-;fit, in his absolute discretion and looking at his Honour's construction of the other section, to mitigate the fine.
