Aggravation:
Men Sentenced
Sentence of 11 years and 12 strokes of the cane was passed on three men who pleaded guilty, on arraignment, to robbery with aggravation, be fore the Senior Puisne Judge, Mr Justice Gould, in the Criminal Sessions this morning.
The Prosecutor asked the Court to treat the case as a completely dangerous type of robbery and remarked that it appeared that the robbers did not hesitate to use firearms to accomplish their crime.
The accused were Such Ming-tok, 30, Tso Pak-hing,
29, and Cheung Chim-lal, 40. They were accused of having robbed Mau Kl-yuk of $150 two electric torches and a gold finger ring: Mau Ki-fong, of $25 and a wrist watch; and Chu Tin-hing of a wrist waith, 41 Ngau Tau Kok, Kowloon, on May 14 lost.
