1. The Appellant is a citizen of Singapore, who was holidaying here in June of this year when he was arrested by the police and charged with attempted theft. He pleaded not guilty and, because he was unable to raise the substantial bail which the magistrate offered, he was remanded in custody for trial. However, an early date was fixed for his trial so that he spent only a week in custody awaiting trial.
