Possession of stolen property

Possession by a person of property recently stolen is, in the absence of a reasonable explanation by that person as to how it came into his possession, some evidence that he either stole it or handled it knowing it to have been stolen according to the circumstances of the case, but if the accused gives an explanation which raises a reasonable doubt as to his guilt, the judge shall direct the jury that it ought not to say that the case has been proved to its satisfaction on that evidence alone.
