Hon Mayo VP (giving the judgment of the Court):

1. It is not necessary to rehearse all the facts as the situation has been set out in our judgment relating to the application for leave to appeal against his conviction.

2. Notwithstanding a most eloquent submission from Mr Macrae SC we do not consider that it would be right for us to interfere with the sentence of 9 months imprisonment which was imposed.

3. We accept that the applicant is a man of hitherto excellent character and that this fall from grace will be felt most keenly by him and his family. However it was quite a serious conspiracy which was practised over a protracted period. The Judge gave careful consideration to all the mitigating factors. We do not consider that the sentence was either wrong in principle or manifestly excessive. Accordingly the application is dismissed.
