_______________
1. This Appellant, a youth of 20, pleaded guilty to one charge of theft and was sentenced to be detained in a Training Centre by D. L. Duggan Esq. sitting at the San Po Kong Magistracy. He now appeals against sentence on the ground that his sentence is too severe.
2. In all the circumstances, I do not consider that the sentence is too severe at all. Indeed, I consider that the sentence is appropriate in all the circumstances.
3. Accordingly, the appeal against sentence is dismissed.
