    CACC843/1981

    On the facts as found by the magistrate the appellant placed $1,000 on the officer's desk with the object of creating a favourable impression to obtain special treatment; that conduct constituted an offer of an advantage under s.4; section 2(a) covers offers for the benefit of third parties so an intended donation would not necessarily negate liability if the intent was to influence the public servant; the conviction was properly sustained and the sentence was not disturbed.
