The magistrate held that the defendant's guilty plea was voluntary and thus barred appeal against conviction; sentencing discretion under s.292 CPC permits ordering the 5-month term to commence after the existing sentence where offences are not one transaction; given the seriousness of drug offences and public interest a 5-month imprisonment and two-year supervision under s.38B were appropriate and justified, and the plea only mitigated but did not negate the need for a consecutive custodial sentence.
