Although the magistrate's three months' sentence for stealing electricity was correct on the facts before him, the appellate court will exercise its discretion to vary the sentence to a fine of $2,000 because the appellant underwent severe surgery while on bail, and the court must also censure inadequate record-keeping practices at magistracies that prevent proper review.
