The appeal was allowed and the sentences of 18 months' imprisonment (concurrent) were set aside because the judge erred in treating deterrence as a proper basis for a harsher sentence for a first offender, failed to consider a suspended sentence, and adopted an unduly high starting point; given applicant's background, willingness of the other party and prospects of no reoffending a short period already served was sufficient so applicant was discharged.
