JUDGMENT

-----------------

 

1. I do not propose to call upon counsel for the Crown. The charges you were facing were serious charges. You pleaded guilty, and the learned magistrate duly took that into consideration. In addition to their gravity, the offences were committed within the period of your suspended sentence which was activated. You have a fairly dreadful record. I have also taken note of your submission this morning, but your appeal against sentence is obviously unmeritorious. I can find no justification for suggesting that the sentence passed on you by the learned magistrate is in any way manifestly excessive. Your application for leave to appeal against sentence is therefore refused. In all the circumstances I would and do order your sentence to run from today.

	(B. LIU)
	Judge of High Court
