1.The applicant asks that he be put on probation on account of the fact that he is remorseful and needs to look after his grandmother.

2.This was a very serious offence. The applicant and another man mugged a female and snatched her handbag. There were no convincing mitigating circumstances. But for his relatively tender age of 17 years he would have received a substantial term of imprisonment. Having regard to all the circumstances the Judge was entirely right to order that the applicant should be remanded in a training centre.

3.The application for leave to appeal against sentence is dismissed.
