_______________
1. On 9th February this year this Appellant appeared before Richard D. Donald, Esquire and pleaded not guilty to one charge of wounding, contrary to section 19 of the Offences Against the Person Ordinance, Cap. 212. He was convicted on the same day.
2. He now appeals against conviction. In a statement attached to his Notice of Appeal against Conviction, he in effect states that he is innocent of the offence and he was wrongly convicted by the Magistrate. The Appellant has handed me a document setting out those parts of the evidence given by the prosecution witnesses which he disputes. He has also handed me documents showing that he has made a complaint to CAPO.
3. In the Magistrate's Statement of Findings, the Magistrate carefully considered all the evidence before convicting the Appellant. In my view, there is ample evidence for the Magistrate to convict. The appeal is therefore dismissed.
