2. Counsel for the appellant before me did not attack the reasons or the conclusion. The real ground of appeal is that the offence of criminal intimidation includes the element of "with intent to alarm" but the learned magistrate in the oral reasons given in court made no reference to this element and so it leaves the impression that she did not consider it. However, it is accepted by counsel for the appellant that this element of intent is covered in the written Statement of Findings.
