The prosecutor appealed the acquittal of the defendant on a charge of allowing himself to be carried in a vehicle taken without the owner’s consent. The driver had been convicted on his own admission, and the prosecutor had presented only the certificate of conviction.
Held: The memorandum of conviction went beyond being only evidence that the driver had admitted the ofence and was strong evidence also that the offence had been committed. The appeal succeeded.
