The Magistrate correctly treated theft from a friend as involving a breach of trust and, given the aggravating features (pawnbroked twice, absconding, prior dishonesty findings even if remote), the starting point of 12 months reduced to 8 months for a guilty plea was lawful and not manifestly excessive; therefore the appeal is dismissed.
