Mr. D. McNaughtan for State
Accused in Person

SENTENCE

This accused has 17 previous convictions all together, 3 of which are akin to the present offences. In imposing sentence against the accused, I have taken into account the accused's plea in mitigation and also his plea of guilty. However, offences of robbery with violence are very prevalent and a custodial sentence is warranted.

1st Count ; 4 years Imprisonment

2nd Count : 4 years Imprisonment

Both sentences to run concurrently and consecutively to any imprisonment term now serving.

R.A 28 days
