Macdougall, J.A.:
1. It has come to the attention of the court since the delivery of judgment that by virtue of section 83 of the District Court Ordinance Cap. 336 the court did have power to substitute a conviction of an alternative offence. The reference in the judgment to there being a lacuna in the law was therefore per incuriam and wrong.
