1. This is an application for leave to appeal against concurrent sentences, each of 20 months, imposed by His Honour Judge Gall in the District Court on 5 charges of theft; and against a similar sentence of 15 months on 1 charge of uttering forged cheques. The judge made the distinction in length because no financial benefit accrued to the defendant on the last mentioned charge.
