It may well be the appellant 1 e deience was very weak, but this wealmess cannot be used to bolster up the prose- cution 1 s case. Therefore, taking the evidence as it is, it cannot be ( said that the inculpatory facts are incompatible with the innocence of the accused, and incapable of explanation upon any other reosonablo hypothesis than that of gui.it of the appollant In the 1i:ht of this conclusion, I do not wish to consider the issue of owmership of the mail bag and or Sits contents, but I wouL like to mention the other parts which I think are worth mentioning. As it Can be seen from the charge and in particular the reference to lw only referroci to section 267 of the Panel Code. In m y view, the charge should have referred to section 265. The latter section crootco the offence of theft and section 267 specifies the nature of theft oomuittod. Properly the charge should have been contrary to sections 265 and 267 of the Penel Code In his judent the learned uagistreo referred to the charge preferred as I have indicated, showing that ho must have been aware that the charge was defective, but he could :oo so without proper canendacrit being carried out on the charge. iiowerer, I do not think that this defectiyx caused eny injustice to the appeiar and in my view it is curable under section 346 of the Crirñnal Procedure Code, Cap.20. I mention it for the purposes of guidance only. The other nattei, which I do not wish to leave untouched, isth question of application of the 1iinienmi Sentences Act, Cap.526. In inposirig: the sentence of two years end twnnty-four strokes of coi'porol punishnent, the learned magistrate was under the misapprehension that steeling from East African Posts £. Telococunications Corporation foil under the Ilininun Sentences Act, Cau.526, This Act does not apply to the ft from such Corpor at ions and thor o±'orc the iropositi on of sent enco as prided for in the Act was illegel(see Joi IdADIflRJ V. iiIC.D. Po.:::). For tho reasons stated, the conviction is quashed and the ssrtma. - end orders sot aside. The appellant shenid be left at liberty unloan he is held on some other lawful purpose Delivered in Court on 27th Eember, 1970 / (z.. . El-Kyldy) ICTI1TC JUD(E. L
