The Court held the trial judge did not abuse his discretion in refusing severance; the evidence supported an irresistible inference that all 136 motorcycles were stolen and that the applicant knew or believed they were stolen; the doctrine of recent possession properly applies to second‑limb handling (assisting) per R v Ball and Winning; Exhibit P18 was a true copy of the manifest; accordingly leave to appeal was refused and convictions and concurrent two‑year sentences were upheld.
