JUDGMENT

THE DEPUTY BAILIFF: You may have a sense of grievance having been remanded in custody for offences which you did not commit, but when you look at your age, these present offences are pretty appalling, are they not, and your record is pretty appalling. What we do not want to do is see you again.

We are going to impose the following sentences: Count 1: three months; Count 2: three months; Count 3: two months; Count 4: one month; Count 5: two weeks. Counts 1, 2, and 4 concurrent; Count 3, consecutive; Count 5 consecutive. That is a total of five months and two weeks imprisonment, so you walk free today. You must try and get a grip of yourself because you are getting too old for this sort of behaviour.
