    The High Court dismissed the appeal because the Magistrate lawfully exercised sentencing discretion after considering mitigation; the offences comprised multiple distinct transactions justifying aggregation of sentences (concurrent and consecutive as appropriate); remand credit was not applicable because the applicant was bailed on several matters and remand was not continuous; and the whipping tally was lawful given the offences arose in separate transactions and were heard as multiple trials together under the statutory framework.
