ORDERS:

1. These matters came before me on 23 June 2008, a list day. There are seven different sets of papers relating to an equal number of series of offences. Many of the offences on which I have to pass sentence are Break Enter and Steal offences. When the matters came before me on 23 June 2008 I took the view that they required consideration beyond what was possible on a busy list day. Accordingly, I adjourned the matters in order that I could properly consider the matters. Given the significant number of offences, and some of the issues involved, I have reduced my remarks on sentence to writing.
