71 Other offences as to licences.
A person is guilty of an offence against this Act—

who, with intent unlawfully to evade this Act, or an order of the Minister, or a regulation of a local authority, does anything for which a licence is requisite under this Act, or such an order or regulation, without having obtained a licence; or
(b)
who, where a licence is so requisite, having obtained a licence, with the like intent does the thing licensed after the licence has expired; or
(c)
who uses or offers or attempts to use as such a licence—
(i)
an instrument not being a complete licence, or

an instrument untruly purporting or appearing to be a licence,
