Wicks at Supreme Court this morning dismissed an appeal against a two-year sentence brought by and queried the different terms Chan Nam for breach of a deportation order.
Chan, who had applied for a review of the sentence before a Central Magistrate upon convic- tion of the offence, had his original sentence of six months increased to two years by the Magistrate. He had two previous convictions for possession of dangerous drugs.

Counsel Argues Immunity Of Foreign Sovereign
Mr Percy Chen declared this morning that if the courts enquired into a foreign sovereign's claim for property, the sovereign might prefer to sacrifice his property, but might seek retaliation by requisitioning property belonging to subjects of the state to the jurisdiction of whose courts the sovereign had refused to submit.
Mr Chen was continuing his argument on a motion to Mr Justice J.R. Gregg in the Supreme Court to set aside an action over some share scrips of the Union Insurance Society of Canton Ltd, and to release them from Court custody. He said that the action impleaded a foreign sovereign, the People's Republic of China, who, ho said, claimed the scrips. He submitted that Chîna was entitled to jurisdictional immunity.
Plaintiffs in the action are the Midland Investment Co., Ltd, of Room 601 Pedder Building. They are represented by Mr John McNeill QC and Mr Leslie Wright, instructed by Mr P. A. Deacons.
