Daniford Shangai v. R., Crim. App. 401-D-67; 22/6/67; Hamlyn, J,; 12/7/67, Georges, C.J.
Accused was convicted of stealing from the person of another, contrary to P.C. ss. 265, 269 (a). Accused has three previous convictions for similar offences. The two notebooks stolen, which contained no money were valued at Shs. 1/-. A sentence of imprisonment for one year was imposed.
Held: Hamlyn, J. found the sentence imposed to be patently inadequate. Accused was given notice to show cause why sentence should not be enhanced. (2) On hearing to show cause, before Georges, C.J., the Court quashed the original sentences and substituted a sentence of two years imprisonment. Although the value of the property stolen was trivial, it was merely accused ’s bad luck that the not books contained no money.
