The appeal was dismissed because s.62 requires proof only of possession and intent to use the item to destroy or damage any property, not identification of a particular property; the trial judge's factual inferences that the appellant intended to use the petrol as an accelerant were rational and unavoidable given the quantity and placement of petrol, surrounding circumstances and the appellant's silence, and therefore the conviction was safe.
