1. No satisfactory reason has been given for the delay in applying for leave to appeal against the sentence imposed. It is also apparent from the papers that even if leave were to be granted to proceed out of time there would be no prospect of success on the application. This is because the sentence which was imposed for this serious offence was in no way excessive. The application is accordingly dismissed.
