APPEAL COURT HEARING
Nine Prisoners Get Increased Sentences
None of the 23 prisoners who appealed to Mr Justice C. W. Reece in the Appeal Court this morning for reduction of sentences passed by Magistrates had any success. Instead nine of them had their sentences increased, and the re- maining 14 were told that the Magistrates' sen- tences would date from today.

Mr Clifford's outburst followed a succession of non-. committal answers to questions put by himself and by Mr Francis H. B. Wong, who appears for one of the store.
