1. In this case the appellant was convicted on his own plea of using an identity card relating to another person. He was an illegal immigrant from China. For a young woman, 20 years of age, I reduced the sentence from 15 months to 12 months in a case earlier this morning where the offence was one of remaining in Hong Kong without authority. Here we have a boy of 17 years of age at the time of the offence.
