The court affirmed the magistrate's imposition of 14 strokes under the Corporal Punishment Ordinance as an appropriate punishment for a knife-involved robbery but held that the accompanying 18 months' imprisonment was unnecessary in this case and should be set aside; the appropriate order was caning to be carried out at the earliest opportunity followed by immediate discharge.
