Although the sentencing Judge made arithmetical errors that reduced the sentence, the end sentence actually imposed (two years and ten months' imprisonment) was within the available and appropriate range and was not manifestly excessive; the appeal is therefore dismissed and the sentence is affirmed, and it is not appropriate in the circumstances to increase the sentence to the higher figure the Judge had intended to impose.
