1. The applicant faced a charge that he, together with Ng Tai-wai, on the 28th of March 1987, at Kowloon, robbed Lo wai-lan of a gold finger-ring and a gold wrist chain and Li Mei-kuen of $120 Hong Kong currency. He pleaded not guilty to that charge and after trial before Judge Longley was found guilty and sent to a detention centre. He now appeals against that conviction on the ground that he was not in fact present at the scene and that he was not identified by the victims.
