Where the total quantity of methamphetamine (1.41 grams) was small and the appellant admitted social distribution to friends, a Newton inquiry was unnecessary; the magistrate reasonably adopted a reduced starting point, applied a one third discount for plea and clear record, and the resultant sentence of 18 months imprisonment was not manifestly excessive, so the appeal was dismissed.
