1. The applicant was sentenced to a more severe sentence than is normally imposed for the burglary of non-domestic premises. After pleading guilty he was sentenced to two years and two months' imprisonment. In passing sentence the Judge gave as his reason for imposing this heavier sentence the fact that the applicant has 11 previous convictions for burglary and that it appeared that he was determined to continue committing burglaries and that the public needed protection from this.
