1. On 11th February of this year, the Appellant was convicted on her own pleas of two charges, the first being theft, the second being one of breaching a deportation order. She was sentenced to nine months and six months respectively; the sentences to be served consecutively. She now appeals against the totality of those sentences as being manifestly excessive. In effect, however, she has simply thrown herself on the mercy of the court and pleaded for a reduction.
