Appeal from amendment of sentence under slip rule.
Held: ‘the judge had the jurisdiction to re-sentence, exercised that power in the circumstances of this offence rationally, lawfully and fairly, did not result in him being unable to increase sentence by reason of any expectation that might have been generated by his remarks on the earlier occasion and reached a sentence that cannot be said to be unfair or manifestly excessive or wrong in principle. For these reasons this appeal is accordingly dismissed.’
