1. This applicant was sentenced to imprisonment for four years on one count of theft. He now seeks leave to appeal against that sentence out of time. The short facts of the matter were that he stole $1.5m from his employer and then sought to flee from the colony being apprehended at the border at the Lo Wu Control Point. He was sentenced by District Judge Hawkes upon the basis that it was a serious breach of trust and that none of the money was recovered.
