APPEAL DISMISSED

The Full Court also dismissed another appeal brought by Li Kau who was given two years by District Judge K. R. Macfee on January 28 for robbery with violence.

Li contended there was 10 evidency to support his convic - tion and that statements were adanilted because he wrongly was forced to make them.

Alternatively, he asked for a reduction of the sentence.

The Full Court held there was sufficient evidence and that

there was no reason to vary the sentence.

The Full Court

A

co-accused, Leung Hoi, who was also given four years on the wounding charge, was refused his appeal against sentence.

Both appellants said that the incident was a mere fight, but the Court noted that the victim was nearly killed, baving his jurular vein cut and that it was the uccused who called to the victim and attacked him when he turned round.

Chan asked the Court to send im to a training centre if the Judge could not reduce the ten- tence.
