________________
1. The Appellant was tried before Colin Mackinosh Esquire in the Magistrate's Court at Eastern on one charge of theft. On 24th February 1999, he was convicted and sentenced to six months' imprisonment.
2. He has lodged a Notice of Appeal against Conviction in the standard form but has written no ground of appeal thereon. He has also lodged a Notice of Appeal against Sentence in the standard form but has added nothing to the proforma ground therein that his sentence was too severe.
3. The Magistrate has prepared a very careful Statement of Findings and equally careful Reasons for Sentence. I propose to say no more than that I am fully satisfied of the propriety of the conviction and of the sentence.
4. The appeal against conviction is dismissed, and so is the appeal against sentence.
