The court affirmed conviction and dismissed the appeal against sentence because, balancing mitigation (early guilty plea, personal circumstances) against aggravating factors (large quantities, lack of reasonable explanation, public interest and amended statutory maxima), the fines with default imprisonment were proportionate, necessary for deterrence and aligned with the legislative intent reflected in the amended Poisons Act.
