DIVISION: SUPREME COURT
DATE: 16TH OCTOBER, 1961
BEFORE: VAN LARE, SARKODEE-ADOO AND CRABBE, JJ.S.C.
JUDGMENT OF VAN LARE, J.S.C.
A previous conviction to be taken into consideration in passing sentence is one in which the sentence imposed has been served, and after which the person has been subsequently convicted, but not, as in the instant case, where the appellant is still serving the alleged previous conviction and the offence was not committed after serving the earlier sentence.
