Hence the submission that the appeal was filed out of time, in the absen ce of an application to extend the time. He has prayed that the appeal be dismissed on account of the same being non-existent. \par \par It is trite that a notice of appeal is a preliminary step in the filing of an appeal. It is followed by a memorandum of appeal detailing the grounds on which the appeal is based. In the instant case the notice of appeal was lodged promptly, 10 days after the decision of the lower court. While the records indicate that the copy of judgment was certified on 23/03/2007, 3 days aft er delivery of judgment, court cannot tell whether the same was availed to the appellant promptly on request. Courts difficulty in this regard has been compounded by the disappearance of the original court file and the appellant\rquote s failure to respond to this objection. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid1858018\charrsid1852978 \par I would in the spirit of Article 126 (2) (e) of the Constitution give the benefit of the doubt to the appellant and assume on the balance of probabilities that the appeal is properly before court. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid3539904\charrsid1852978 \par Turning now to the substance of the appeal, that the }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid1705452\charrsid1852978 appellant\rquote s }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid3539904\charrsid1852978 cow died d}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid6376041\charrsid1852978 oes}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid3539904\charrsid1852978 not appear to be in serious dispute.

However, he was in the area looking for his lost cattle when in a d istance of about 70 metres he saw cows push each other. He did not know whether or not they were tethered. He then met the 2}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \super\insrsid11936700\charrsid1852978 nd}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid11936700\charrsid1852978 respondent some distance away and in his own words: \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14444330\charrsid1852978 \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\i\insrsid11936700\charrsid1852978 \'93assumed D2 was the one herding the cattle.\'94 \par \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid11936700\charrsid1852978 It is not in dispute that the 2}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \super\insrsid11936700\charrsid1852978 nd}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid11936700\charrsid1852978 respondent was the first respondent\rquote s herdsman. From his evidence, he left cattle fighting each other. He did not know whose }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14444330\charrsid1852978 cows }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid11936700\charrsid1852978 they were.

He (PW2) moved with the appellant to Kiika\rquote s home and according to him, Kiika agreed to settle the matter amicably with the plaintiff/appellant. The next morning he met the appellant again who told him that he was still waiting for the owner of the cattle whom he did not know. That is where his involvement stopped. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14094119\charrsid1852978 \par From the evidence of this witness, up to 27/01/06 the appellant did not know whose cows killed his own. He suspected Kiika. PW2\rquote s evidence was at variance with that of the appellant. Accordi ng to the appellant, at the side of his dead cow was found the 1}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \super\insrsid14094119\charrsid1852978 st}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14094119\charrsid1852978 defendant\rquote s cow. It had apparently remained behind. It is this cow which }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid871581\charrsid1852978 the local authorities }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14094119\charrsid1852978 placed in the custody of Kiika alias Kihika George until the case was resolved. \par \par There is an agreement dated 27/01/06 to that effect in the Luganda language. The trial court did not mind to have it translated. Clearly, therefore, when PW2 claims that Kiika agreed to settle matters amicably with the plaintiff/appellant, thereby giving the imp ression that Kiika was the owner of the cows suspected to have killed the appellant\rquote s cow, he either told a lie or }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid6774107\charrsid1852978 indeed Kiika was the first suspect}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid14094119\charrsid1852978 . \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid6774107\charrsid1852978 \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12007746\charrsid1852978 Be that as it may, }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid6774107\charrsid1852978 PW2 }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12007746\charrsid1852978 ceased to get involved in the matter before witnessing any discussion between the appellant and the 1}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \super\insrsid12007746\charrsid1852978 st}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12007746\charrsid1852978 respondent, the alleged owner of the cows which killed appellant\rquote s and he did not know him prior to all this anyway. Since he did not know whose cows were involved in the fight}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid6774107\charrsid1852978 and he saw the cows from a distance of about 70 metres}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12007746\charrsid1852978 , his evidence was worthless. He appears to have assumed that because D2 had been seen herding cattle in the area, therefore his cows were responsible for the death of the appellant\rquote s cow. This was a mere assumption. It is not }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid6774107\charrsid1852978 direct }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid12007746\charrsid1852978 evidence capable of proving a fact. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid16515471\charrsid1852978 \par The appellant\rquote s other witness, PW3 Bogere, also claimed to have been }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid13846484\charrsid1852978 in the area and that he saw some cows fighting. His evidence is that the appellant\rquote s cow was tethered on the grass and he saw cattle being herded by D2 fighting the tethe red cow. Then around 1.00 p.m. he met the plaintiff/appellant who informed him that his cow had died. If the evidence of this witness is to be believed, then it was not necessary for the appellant and PW2 to go looking for Kiika that evening or even the

following day. Even then the totality of his evidence is that he saw fighting cows from a distance of about 10 yards, that he left after the cow had fallen down, that the cow he saw fall down was tethered on a rope. As fate would have it, the evidence o f the Veterinary Doctor who visited the scene the following day does not support the evidence of PW3. Whereas PW3 claimed that he saw the cow fall by the neck, whatever that meant, PW4 found it lying upside down, on its right hand side. A rope was tied a t the base of the horns and it was folded }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \cf1\insrsid13846484\charrsid1852978 on the}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid13846484\charrsid1852978 right hind leg. }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid10116294\charrsid1852978 The remaining part of the leg was free. Though he was told by the appellant that the cow had been tethered, tied on to }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid2239956\charrsid1852978 something}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid10116294\charrsid1852978 and according to PW3 on to some grass, the Doctor couldn\rquote t locate on what object it had been tied. The appellant also failed to trace the site. The rope was straight, unfolded.}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid16515471\charrsid1852978 \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid10116294\charrsid1852978 \par And while the evidence of PW2 Kawalya and PW3 Bogere paints a picture of a savage attack of the cow by other cows, the expert witness loo ked for evidence of external violence and saw none. The animal horns had dug deep in the soil, and the carcass had a twisted neck. The part around the horns }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid13121681\charrsid1852978 and hind leg where the rope passed were smeared with blood}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid11081787\charrsid1852978 . He came to the conclusion that the }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid11297964\charrsid1852978 a nimal could have fallen down due}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid11081787\charrsid1852978 to stepping on the rope and died of suffocation. Otherwise the vegetation around the animal was intact and there was no evidence of any object having passed through it.}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid10116294\charrsid1852978 \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid11081787\charrsid1852978 \par It is trite that a fact is said to be proved when th e court is satisfied as to its truth. The evidence by which that result is produced is called the proof. The general rule is that the burden of proof lies on the party who asserts the affirmative of the issue or question in dispute. Relating the princi ple to the instant case, the appellant had alleged that his cow was killed by the }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid5122766\charrsid1852978 cows of the respondents. The burden was on him to prove the allegation on a balance of probabilities. \par \par As it stands the evidence on record raises a number of possibilities as to how the cow died. It may have been killed by the cow of one Kiika; it may have been killed by the cows of the 1}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \super\insrsid5122766\charrsid1852978 st}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid5122766\charrsid1852978 respondent which the 2}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \super\insrsid5122766\charrsid1852978 nd}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid5122766\charrsid1852978 respondent was herding at the time; or in the opinion of the Veterinary Doctor, an expert of sorts, the cow may have stepped on its own rope, tripped and died of suffocation.}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\insrsid11081787\charrsid1852978 }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid11081787\charrsid1852978 \par \par The possibility of the cow being killed by other cows }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid1718160\charrsid1852978 becomes doubtful upon considering}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid11081787\charrsid1852978 the nature of the vegetation around the animal being intact, without any evidence of disturbance. Lear ned counsel for the respondents has submitted that having accepted the expert evidence, the rest of the witnesses could not have been used to contradict the same. This observation is of course partly correct. It is partly correct in the sense that for c ourt to come to a decision all the evidence }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid11162071\charrsid1852978 must be considered together. }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid11081787\charrsid1852978 \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid11162071\charrsid1852978 \par It is trite to }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid10093838\charrsid1852978 say }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid11162071\charrsid1852978 that if the conclusion of the trial court has been arrived at on conflicting testimony after seeing and hearing the witnesses, the appellate court in arriving at a decision would bear in mind that it has not enjoyed this opportunity and that the view of the trial court as to where credibility lies is entitled to great weight: }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\i\insrsid11162071\charrsid1852978 Flora Mbambu & Anor vs Serapio Mukine [1979] HCB 47}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid11162071\charrsid1852978 . \par \par On revaluation of evidence in the instant case, I have come to the conclusion that the trial Magistrate subjected the evidence before him to adequate scrutiny.
