The magistrate's original sentence (4 months for false instrument and 2 months for false representation, concurrent) was lawful and appropriate; however, given the appellant's documented psychiatric history and the proven emotional dependence of his autistic son, there were humanitarian grounds to suspend the remaining term of imprisonment, and the appeal was allowed in part by suspending the remaining term for 18 months.
