A further discount for an admission of obscenity beyond the usual discount for a plea of guilty should not be given as a general practice; the sentencing judge below was correct in principle to disallow an extra discount but erred in increasing the sentence without first giving the appellant an opportunity to address the proposed increase; accordingly the Court allowed the appeal and restored the magistrate's original sentence.
