The Magistrate correctly assessed the seriousness of the offence but failed to reduce the sentence to reflect the appellant's clear record and personal circumstances; therefore the appellate court allowed the appeal and substituted a reduced sentence of 16 months imprisonment for the 18 months originally imposed.
