IN THE SUPREME COURT OF HONG KONG
(Appellate Jurisdiction)
MAGISTRACY APPEAL NO. 91 OF 1997
______________
Coram: Hon Sears, J. in Court
Date of hearing: 21 March 1997
Date of judgment: 21 March 1997
J U D G M E N T
1. Although this appellant has previous convictions he must only be sentenced for the actual offence. He has also made efforts to lead a law abiding life. On the particular facts of this case, I think I am justified in making a reduction in the sentence. I reduce the sentence to 6 months imprisonment, from a starting point of 9 months.
