The chit was produced as cxh 5. In his defence in the lower court the accused said ho only received shs.1500/— and that he by mitake signed the payment voucher acknowledging receipt of shso2000/—. The Republic argued that there was sufficient evidence to support the convictions. : Looking at the totality of the evidence I do not think the learned magistrate came to a wronc. conclusion. There is the evidence of the co—operative inspector who chocked accused accounts ad to whom the accused admitted the shortage. What is more the appellant wrote a chit accepting responsibility for loss of the mOilcy. There is evidence of the payment voucher showinG that he did * receive shs.2000/— from P,,,l and not shs.1500/— as he would like the court to believe. If the appellant received only slis.1500/— from the treasurer and not shs.2000/=; and ho had by mistake signed for shs.2000/= how comes it that the same accused admitted to the inspector (P..2) that he had again .iby mistake, paid out more money to farmers (when buying groundnuts) than what he should have paid. This is what he told the inspector as the cause of the shortage of the shs.500/—. cousod's defence that he received only shs.1500/7 from P.W.l is diamotrially opposed to his admission to P..2 that he had by mistake paid out more money to the farmers. The two contradictory statements coming from the same accused are certainly inconsistent with innocence. - The learned resident magistrate was entitled on the evidence to 7 coma to the conclusion that the accused received shs.2000/— from P..l and his failure to account for the shs.500/— can only be interpreted that he stolo the money. His entering sks.1500/_ in the cash—book instead, of entering shs.2000/— does amount to fraudulent false accounting. I agree with the Republic that the appcl against conviction is without substance. s far as the sentence in count two is concerned there was no evidence that the society was a registered society under Cap.211 apart from the word of P.1.l that the society was a registered society. The Minimum Sentences Lot is a penal 4ct of far—reaching diamontioris; andlik all penal Lcts,its provisions must be strictly construed. The only evidenc that will prove that certain society is a registered society is productic. in court of the registration certificate of the said society. fs no certificate of registrotion was produced in respect of Liala Co—operativc Society it is not possible to say that the society was a registered society under Cap.211 of the laws. This being the position corporal punishment is inapplicable. The appellant can only be said to have committed siple theft insofar as count two is concerned. • 'ooxcitttrt pi w uDSq'3 pthtdor 'oiqndog ot.
