**************************

JUDGMENT OF THE COURT

The appellant's appeal in the superior court was against sentence having abandoned his appeal to that Court against conviction. His second appeal to this Court therefore against the decision of the first appellate court could only be against sentence. In the circumstances of the sentence imposed against him. Section 361(1)(b) of the Criminal Procedure Code debars this Court from hearing his appeal against sentence. The appellant's appeal is therefore incompetent and the same is struck out.

Dated and delivered at Nairobi this 19th day of December, 1995.
