J U D G M E N T
_______________
1. There was a full trial of this matter when the Judge had all of the evidence before him and nothing which was said this morning persuades me that the trial was in any way unsatisfactory. The applicant had a fair trial and that there was an abundance of evidence in support of his conviction. His application for leave to appeal against conviction is dismissed.
2. So far as sentence is concerned, this was a very serious and vicious attack with a knife and the 4-year sentence which was imposed upon him can only be described as a merciful sentence. It could have been a lot longer. That application is also dismissed.
