    Convictions on counts 2, 3 and 4 were upheld as safe; the sentence on count 2 (originally seven years) was excessive and reduced to six years; counts 3 and 4 retained five years each but must run concurrently with each other and commence after four years of the sentence on count 2, producing an overall effective sentence of nine years; the appeal against sentence was allowed and the application treated as the hearing of the appeal.
