1. The defendant appeals against his conviction for a charge of robbery, committed on 14 November 1996. The evidence, which was carefully considered by the magistrate, shows that what apparently began as a transaction for sexual services, with the police officer being used as a decoy, later developed into a robbery with some violence when the parties came down to the street.
