1. The appellant was convicted of robbing a jewellery shop in Austin Road. With one other man he waited until closing time and then, as the two owners were rolling down the iron shutter, pounced upon them, forced them into the shop, made them lie faced down upon the floor and tied them up. The robbers made no obvious use of a weapon, other than the weapon of surprise, but an imitation pistol was found later to have been left behind.
