1. This is an appeal against a sentence of 12 months' imprisonment imposed following a conviction after trial for the offence of perverting the course of justice, contrary to the common law. The appellant had been arrested and caught in possession of what everyone takes to be two rolled-up cigarettes containing some cannabis. If he had have been convicted of possession of two cannabis cigarettes, we agree in court he would likely have faced a fine in the region of $2,000.00 or so.
