1. This was an appeal against a sentence of Training Centre imposed for an offence of common assault. This was the Appellant's first conviction and a sentence of Training Centre for such a conviction was manifestly excessive. I allowed the appeal, removed the Training Centre order and replaced it with a Probation Order for 12 months on condition that the Appellant live and work as directed by his Probation Officer.
