R. v. PAUL T. MSILU (1968) HCD 64
Held:
There is no authority for ordering awards of corporal punishment to run
concurrently. The Corporal Punishment Ordinance, Cap. 17, Sec. 10, provides;
“When a person is convicted at one trial of two or more distinct offences, any
two or more of which are legally punishable with corporal punishment, only one
sentence of corporal punishment may be passed in respect of all the offences.”
Accordingly, the sentences were set aside and a single sentence of 10 strokes
was imposed in respect of all the convictions.
