1. The Applicant in these proceedings was arrested while selling drugs to undercover Police Officers. He was originally charged with the offence of trafficking in dangerous drugs, an offence to which he pleaded guilty before the Magistrate. In the High Court the charge was reduced to one of possession of the drugs for the purpose of unlawful trafficking. Naturally the sentence must be considered in that light.
