    CACC751/1971

    The appeal was dismissed because the magistrate properly exercised sentencing discretion by relying on the appellant's prior convictions, prior admissions to treatment centres and his own admission of continuous drug use; without knowledge of the companion's facts disparity could not be established and the custodial sentence of eight months was justified as both punishment and a period of enforced abstinence.
