Section 29(1) of the Minor Offences Act contemplates tangible movable property capable of possession; monies held in a bank account are an incorporeal chose in action (bank's debt) and not capable of "possession" under s29(1); therefore charges based on monies in bank account did not disclose an offence and were fundamentally defective and incurable, rendering the trial and conviction a nullity.
