Clifford, Counsel for Chiang Hing-wah, appealed against Chiang's sentence for unlawful possession of arms and ammunition before the Full Court, comprising the Chief Justice (Sir Gerard Howe) and the Senior Puisne Judge (Mr Justice E. H. Williams) this morning.
Appellant, 30, formerly of the as Nidar, was sentenced by Judge R. W. S. Winter on March 3 last to five years and 12 strokes of the cane, when he pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of six automatic pistols and 98 rounds of ammunition found on board the ship.
