----------------- Coram: Mills-Owens J. in Court. Date of Judgment: 20 July 1970 ---------------- JUDGMENT ----------------- 1. In this appeal it was pointed out to me on behalf of the Crown in regard to the second charge, one of possession of an offensive weapon contrary to sec.17 of the Summary Offences Ordinance, that the sentence imposed of 6 months imprisonment exceeded the maximum, namely 3 months. Accordingly I substituted a sentence of 3 months imprisonment on that charge. It was a sentence ordered to run concurrently with a sentence of 2 years imprisonment on the first charge. On the third charge a sentence of 1 year's imprisonment consecutive to the 2 year sentence had been imposed. The appeal against conviction on all three charges having been dismissed, no practical difference results in the overall length of imprisonment to be served.
