HCMA000196/1999 1999, HCMA 196 IN THE HIGH COURT OF THE HONG KONG SPECIAL ADMINISTRATIVE REGION COURT OF FIRST INSTANCE （APPELLATE JURISDICTION） MAGISTRACY APPEAL NO. 196 OF 1999 _______________
________________ Coram: The Honourable Mrs Justice V. Bokhary in Court Dates of Hearing: 21 May 1999 and 23 June 1999 Dates of Delivery of Judgment: 21 May 1999 (Conviction) and 23rd June 1999 (Sentence) ________________ J U D G M E N T ________________ 1. This Appellant appeared before Michael C. Jenkins, Esquire and pleaded not guilty to one charge of theft. He was convicted on the 22nd January 1999 and was sentenced to 15 months' imprisonment. 2. He now appeals against both conviction and sentence. He has lodged a Notice of Appeal against conviction in the standard form but has written no ground of appeal thereon. In his Statement of Findings, the Magistrate has carefully considered all the evidence before him before convicting the Appellant. 3. In my view, there is ample evidence for the Magistrate to convict. The appeal against conviction is dismissed. 4. As far as his appeal against sentence is concerned, it was adjourned for one month in order for the prosecution to make the necessary inquires. 5. At the adjourned hearing of the appeal against sentence, the Appellant abandons his appeal; and his appeal against sentence is therefore dismissed.
