The daughter's suspended sentence was set aside and replaced by immediate 12 months' imprisonment because her prolonged, large-scale, deceptive defalcations for self-enrichment (despite partial reparation and low salary) made immediate custody appropriate; the mother's suspended sentence was upheld because her offences were materially smaller, occurred later, and she had mitigating personal circumstances amounting to substantially lesser culpability.
