An effective head sentence of four years' imprisonment for concurrent offences of kidnapping (involving a knife threat to a stranger), indecent treatment of a child under 12, attempted stealing, and unlawful use of a motor vehicle, committed by an offender with an extensive criminal history shortly after release on parole, was held to be within the sentencing discretion and in fact lenient. The kidnapping episode alone was held capable of supporting a four-year sentence.
