1. The sentence imposed by the magistrate on Charge 1, having regard to the appellant’s previous convictions which includes 21 previous convictions for similar offences as Charge 1, is neither manifestly excessive nor wrong in principle in relation to the sentence of 12 months. In my view the sentence on Charge 4 of two months would be excessive if it were made consecutive.
