The appeal was allowed and the conviction quashed because the trial judge erred in disbelieving the applicant on the basis of apparent contradictions which were more apparent than real and failed to give proper weight to the reasonable explanation that the sword was decorative and had been left by his brother, rendering the conviction unsafe; misjoinder was noted as serious but not the sole basis for quashing.
