The magistrate's starting point of 18 months was excessive for two young appellants convicted of attempted theft with clear records; having regard to their ages, lack of aggravating features and time already spent in custody, the appropriate disposition was a reduced custodial sentence effectively commuted to time served, warranting immediate release.
