Possessor Of Dangerous Drugs Loses Appeal

An appeal against sentence brought by Lam Yam-sing, alias Lam Kam-sing, who was sentenced to three years on two charges of possession of dangerous drugs, was refused by the Full Court, comprising the Chief Justice, Mr Justice M. J. P. Hogan and the Puisne Judge, Mr Justice J. R. Gregg, this morning.

Lam was represented by Mr Patrick Yu, instructed by Mr K. Y. Yung of Messrs Zimmern and Company,

Mr Yu said that this was on appeal against sentence passed

on the appellant in the District Court on two separate charges

of possession of dangerous drugs. Counsel said that it would be seen from the record that in point of fact the subject matter of the two charges was found

on the premises of which ap- pellant was a tenant.

Counsel said that he had read through the record of the case and had studied the reasons given by the learned Judge in passing sentence and he could not conscientiously orgue
