The Magistrate properly applied the sentencing tariff, afforded mitigation for the guilty plea and the appellant's circumstances, and reduced the normal 15‑month tariff to 12 months for unlawful remaining; the sentences (6 months and 12 months) were within the Magistrate's discretion and not excessive, so the appeal is dismissed.
