For a planned, multi-participant kidnapping involving chloroform and a ransom demand, a 15-year starting point was not excessive; applying a one-third discount for guilty pleas and a further one-year reduction for good character produced appropriate nine-year sentences; the sentences were not wrong in principle or manifestly excessive, and the applications for leave to appeal were refused.
