The appeal is allowed and the immediate custodial sentence of 3 months is substituted by a sentence of 3 months imprisonment suspended for 2 years because the combination of factors disclosed on appeal—early plea and resulting discount, compensation to the victim, sudden loss of temper and further mitigating material including the victim's letter, and time already spent in custody—render immediate custody unnecessary; prosecution conceded mitigation.
