APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT

[1]

The appellant advances only one ground of appeal. She submits that the
    trial judge erred in rejecting her evidence on the basis that she could not
    reasonably have feared that the police would seize money from her as proceeds
    of crime after they had returned it to her on the previous day.

[2]

The trial judge gave several reasons for rejecting the appellants
    evidence. This was among them. The inference the trial judge drew in this
    respect was one that was reasonably available to her on the evidence. We see no
    basis on which to interfere with the trial judges assessment of that evidence.

[3]

The appeal is dismissed.
