Because the cumulative effect of separate sentences imposed by different magistrates produced an excessive total sentence contrary to the totality principle, the court reduced the sentence in Appeal No.136 on the specified charge to 4 months' imprisonment to achieve a proportionate overall outcome; the magistrate's discretion in declining a Drug Addiction Treatment Centre order was upheld given the appellant's lack of motivation for treatment.
