1. The Appellant was sentenced to 6 months' imprisonment on each of two charges of theft, those sentences to run consecutively. The first offence was committed when the Appellant snatched a purse from a woman and the second when he snatched a wrist-watch from a boy of 15 years of age. Unhappily neither of these victims reported to the police but both offences were admitted by the Appellant under caution. He also admitted two other offences which he asked to be taken into consideration.
