The Court of First Instance affirmed the trial judge's sentencing discretion: psychiatric reports established that the appellant suffered a mental disorder of a degree justifying hospital detention for treatment under s45; given the offence's nature, the appellant's background, lack of support and treatment needs, a concurrent three-month hospital order best balanced public interest and the appellant's welfare; the sentence was not excessive and pre-trial remand was not treated as part of the hospital order term.
