Accused pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of raw gold, which was forfeited, and he was sentenced to 6 months imprisonment. Some months later an assay was run on the metal and it turned out to be copper, and not gold.
Held: The conviction was quashed. Under section 21 of the Gold Trading Ordinance, the burden of proof is on the prosecution to show that a metal is in fact gold, the burden of proof on that issue is on the party making such claim.
