1. The appellant, a Police constable, was convicted upon two charges preferred against him, to wit demanding money with menaces and obtaining money by false pretences. Upon conviction he was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment; he now appeals against both his conviction and sentence. It is important to observe at the outset that both charges arise out of precisely the same facts and that he was convicted on both of these charges.
