</div><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>JUDGMENT OF
SCOTT J.<o:p></o:p>This is an application by Nana Kobina Dadzie the
defendant-appellant for special leave to appeal against a decision of this
court on the 21st December, 1961, in which the judgment of the trial court was
upheld. The application is made under the Courts Act, 1960,1(1) section 8 (1)
proviso (a) (i).<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>Counsel for the defendant-appellant-applicant has argued his
grounds for special leave to appeal with much vigour and ingenuity, but in the
main the arguments advanced while attractively posed have been a repetition and
reiteration of the arguments advanced at the hearing of the appeal.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>Council for the respondents has contended that the prerequisites
for the grant of special leave to appeal are either that there must be prima
facie, an error on the face of the record, or that a general principle is being
decided for the first time, or that a decision of the Supreme Court would be to
the public advantage, and has further contended that not a single one of these
elements is present in this application.<o:p></o:p>I have given careful consideration to this application and find
myself in entire agreement with counsel for the respondents that no real new
material ground has been raised to warrant the grant of special leave. This
application will accordingly be refused.<o:p></o:p>
