Given the particular facts — loans from a departmental colleague, prompt repayment in most cases, personal exigencies, long public service and absence of departmental connection with the lender — the Court allowed the appeals to the extent that convictions should not be recorded; in Criminal Appeal No.219 the fine was set aside and to be refunded. The magistrate's sentencing discretion is subject to appellate review and should be exercised having regard to these mitigating factors.
