Juma s/o Faranani, Crim. App. 860-D-66; 13/2/67; Hamlyn, J.
During an altercation between police and accused, a policeman’s watch-strap was snapped. Accused was charged with malicious damage to property.
Held: The “malice” involved in malicious property damage (P. C. s. 326) “probably” connotes something more than mere negligence or mischance,” though it is not necessary to prove the Accused ’s “ill-will” toward the policeman. Charge dismissed.
