Accused was convicted of unlawfully hunting without a licence contrary to section 15 (1) of Cap. 38:01 Fauna Conservation. His defence was that he was under the impression that he was entitled to hunt and kill on the licences of other members of the party. The Court held that this defence is not one available against the charge but that the bona fide belief might play a consideration in the sentencing.It was held that the lower courts did not seem to consider the question of the bona difes of the appellant and if they had done so a lesser sentence might have been imposed. Thus, the Court dismissed the appeal against the conviction but upheld the appeal against the sentence to the extent of setting aside the sentence of imprisonment and reducing the fine.
