A small roll of domestic adhesive/cellulose tape is not an article manufactured for the purpose of restraining persons and therefore cannot be regarded as an "instrument fit for unlawful purposes" within s17 Cap 228 even where the accused admitted an intended unlawful use; accordingly the conviction under that charge was unsafe and must be quashed.
