1. There is little that can be said concerning the circumstances of this case. The applicant puts forward his rather distressing family circumstances and the hardship suffered as a result of his incarceration as being grounds for the reduction of the sentence which was imposed upon him. I regret that this is not a good reason for reducing the sentence.
