APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT

[1] To set aside the conditional sentence imposed by the trial judge, we would have to conclude that he erred in principle or that the sentence was demonstrably unfit. Given the circumstances of the offence and the offender, we are not able to conclude that either is the case.

[2] Accordingly, while leave to appeal sentence is granted the appeal as to sentence is dismissed.

[3] Ms. Hammond has abandoned her appeal as to conviction. It is therefore dismissed as abandoned.
