West Africa Court of Appeal  •   •  West Africa [For WACA cases]

Coram
Cor. KINGDON and PETRIDES, C.JJ., and BUTLER LLOYD, J.

Appearances
The Acting Solicitor-General for Crown.

Judgement

KINGDON, C.J., NIGERIA, PETRIDES, C.J., GOLD COAST, AND BUTLER LLOYD, J.

The only point in this appeal was whether the learned trial Judge was right in admitting evidence of previous uttering of counterfeit coins by appellant on a charge of being in possession of moulds in order to prove guilty knowledge. The case of Reg. v. Weeks (L. and C. 18, 30 L.J. W.C. 141, 8 Cox, C.C. 455) is conclusive on the point that he was right so to do.

Apart from this there is no substance in this appeal and it is dismissed.
