Fung, and (b) common assault. am. THE READING WAS 55.
Chu was sentenced to six months' imprisonment and recommended for
banishment.
Mr. F. H. Loseby appeared for Chu, and Mr. E. W. Williams for the Crown. Mr. Loseby said that his client was alleged to have intimidated the wo- man on November 23 and to have as- saulted her on November 26. He was arrested on December 3 on the first charge, his ground of appeal was that the charge was not properly drawn up because the exact threat alleged was not mentioned. The second con- viction should be quashed on the ground of insufficient evidence.
Mr. Loseby submitted further that the sentences were too severe.
Mr. Williams agreed that the first conviction was wrong on the ground stated, but said there was abundant evidence on the second charge.
His Lordship allowed the appeal against the first conviction and re- duced the sentence on the second to three months.
