R. v. MABULA MASOTA CHARLES (1968) HCD 328
, Dist. Ct. Crim. Case 58-D-68, 3/4/68, Inspection
Note by Saudi J.
Accused, a first offender, was convicted of traveling
on a railroad without a valid ticket, which would have cost Shs. 7/10, and was
sentenced to 1 month’s imprisonment.
The
Court noted: In this case, a conditional discharge order accompanied by
an order to pay the fare to the Railways would have “met the justice of the
case.” The Court called attention to High Court Circular No. 2 of 1961, where
the Court’s views on this problem are elaborated.
