The Court found that the trial judge had failed to give sufficient consideration to the clear records and pleas of guilty of the first two appellants and that six years was manifestly excessive in their circumstances; accordingly their sentences were reduced from six to four years. The conviction of the third applicant was upheld because the judge's directions and handling of the cautioned statement were not unfair, but in equity the Court reduced his sentence from five to four years to maintain parity with co-accused.
