The Court held that while promises to give evidence should not be credited, actual post-sentence conduct such as giving evidence that leads to convictions may be taken into account by the Court of Appeal; Clause XV does not prevent the Court from reducing sentences under its statutory powers. Applying the law to the facts, the Court found the total sentence of nine years was not manifestly excessive and dismissed the application.
