1. This appellant was convicted of being in possession of a dangerous drug for the purpose of unlawful trafficking. The date of conviction was 10th July and as was later held by the Court of Appeal the presumption had been removed. The Crown does not oppose his appeal against conviction. I allow the appeal against conviction and under s.119 of the Magistrate's Ordinance, substitute a conviction for simple possession. The appropriate sentence in my judgment is one of 6 months' imprisonment.
