Conviction was supported by the evidence and is upheld; the trial magistrate erred in withholding bail and imposed a sentence of six months' imprisonment that was manifestly excessive and wrong in principle; the custodial sentence is quashed and substituted with probation for one year, having regard to the appellant's youth, clear record and statutory/probation recommendations.
