The defendant was on bail for one offence when he committed the offence now under consideration. He was later acquitted of the offence for which he was on bail, and now appealed the sentence, saying the judge had taken the offence as aggravated because it was committed whilst on bail.
Held: The judge had been correct to treat the bail element as an aggravation, even though he was later acquitted.
