R. v. Mabula Masota Charles, 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.
