1. The applicant was charged with the offence of murder. On the first day of the trial he offered to plead guilty to manslaughter. The plea was accepted by the prosecution. He was duly convicted on that basis by Lugar Mawson J. The learned judge used a starting point of nine years' imprisonment, reduced it by one third because of the guilty plea and sentenced the applicant to six years' imprisonment. The applicant now seeks leave to appeal against the sentence.
