1. The Appellant appeals against two sentences of 4 ½ years' imprisonment concurrent on charges of robbery. One of the offences was a particularly mean one - when a man was robbed when he was in a public lavatory. In each case there were two robbers, no weapons were produced and, although the advocate for the Appellant in the court below said there was "some violence but nobody injured", it would appear that such violence as there was was minimal and consisted of searching the victims.
