    Accused's early guilty pleas were mitigating but outweighed by frequency and seriousness of separate offences and recent prior convictions; therefore accused is convicted on all four counts and sentenced to consecutive terms totaling 36 months imprisonment (12 + 12 + 6 + 6 months) with caning as ordered for the burglary counts; sentences are to run separately/consecutively to reflect separate transactions and serve deterrence/public interest while not producing a crushing effect.
