1. These three defendants all appeal against their convictions on a charge of Attempted Theft. They were all convicted in the Magistracy. Basically, they challenge now the prosecution evidence but the Magistrate had the advantage of hearing the police witnesses who observed the defendants for lengthy period and who also watched them slash the bag of passer-by in search of property.
