1. This is an application by the Attorney General for review of a sentence imposed by a magistrate in respect of a 15-year-old youth who was found in possession, without lawful authority or reasonable excuse and in a public place, of a meat-knife and one metal chain. The application for review is made solely on the ground that the sentence imposed by the magistrate was, in fact, not authorized by law.
