Corporal punishment was inappropriate for the 3rd and 4th Appellants charged with robbery and therefore those orders were set aside; corporal punishment was justified for the 1st and 2nd Appellants because the knife was actually used to stab a pinioned victim, but the number of strokes imposed was excessive and must be reduced to six each; imprisonment terms were left intact.
