REASONS FOR JUDGMENT

This is an application by Lee Eris Cornford ("the applicant") for bail pending the hearing of an appeal instituted by her in this Court against the severity of the sentences imposed upon her in the Supreme Court of the

Australian Capital Territory on 14 November 1986 for offences

The applicant pleaded guilty to four offences against the Ordinance each offence being that between 1 November 1985 and 30 January 1986 the applicant supplied a controlled substance, namely heroin, to another person. The first two offences related to the supply of heroin to one Abdul Rahim Bin Mohammed Subir. The recipient in each of the remaining

offences was a person whose name was unknown.

The applicant was sentenced in respect of the first offence to imprisonment for two anda half years and, in respect of each of the other offences, to imprisonment for eighteen months. The sentences of eighteen months were to be served concurrently but cumulatively upon the sentence of two

and a half years so that the applicant was effectively

sentenced to imprisonment for four years. A non-parole period
