1. The appellant was convicted upon his own plea of the offence of being in possession of dangerous drugs for the purpose of unlawful trafficking. He was sentenced to a period of seven years' imprisonment. He appealed by leave against that sentence and we allowed that appeal by reducing the period to one of 6 years. We said we would give our reasons later and this we now do.
