1. This is an appeal by two police officers, who were convicted before a District Judge on one charge of perjury, contrary to section 31 of the Crimes Ordinance. They were originally charged with two offences, the first of attempting to pervert the course of justice and the second of perjury. Both charges arose out of the same incident, which was the prosecution of a man called WAN Yuen-fai, an apprentice mechanic who was employed at a garage in Yuen Long.
