----------------------
Power, V.-P.(giving the judgment of the Court):
1. This applicant was sentenced to imprisonment for four years on one count of theft. He now seeks leave to appeal against that sentence out of time. The short facts of the matter were that he stole $1.5m from his employer and then sought to flee from the colony being apprehended at the border at the Lo Wu Control Point. He was sentenced by District Judge Hawkes upon the basis that it was a serious breach of trust and that none of the money was recovered.
2. The judge said that the only thing that would be said in his favour was that he had a clear record.
3. The applicant did not originally appeal against sentence but now seeks leave to appeal out of time without advancing any meritorious reason whatsoever. That application is refused. We add only that we have considered the sentence and that it was a perfectly proper one.
