1. We deal here with two applications for review of sentence by the Attorney General. In each case the respondent was at the time of sentencing a youth of 19 years of age. Each had pleaded guilty to possession of an offensive weapon contrary to s.33 of the Public Order Ordinance Cap.245 and each was ordered to be detained in a Drug Addiction Treatment Centre. The first respondent admitted possession of a pair of scissors which he intended to use for the purpose of robbery. He had a clear record.
