The learned Magistrate properly considered the appellant's prior convictions, refusal to engage with probation and psychiatric care, and two independent psychiatric reports recommending confinement; because the hospital order was the only appropriate means to benefit the appellant and the Magistrate's decision was not irrational or inappropriate, the appellate court dismissed the appeal and upheld the 4-month hospital order.
