1. I will now give my reserved reasons for allowing this appeal on the 8th December. The appellant appealed against his conviction for theft at the Western Magistracy on the 2nd June 1983. He was discharged conditionally on entering into a recognizance in the sum of $200 for a period of 6 months with no conviction recorded, and was ordered to pay costs of $1,000.00. On review the sentence was varied to an absolute discharge with no conviction record, but the order for costs remained.
