The magistrate erred in imposing custodial sentences because, on the facts, there was no loss of public revenue, the goods were not concealed and were not destined for high street retail, and the appellant was cooperative with a clear record; these mitigating circumstances made imprisonment inappropriate in this case, so the suspended prison terms were set aside.
