ORDER:

This filo was sent to this court by the Chief Magistrate of Lira for confirmation of sentence under section 167 of the IdCA'70\* The file was then placed, before me.

On perusal I found, that the accused, was convicted, on his wwn ploa of Guilty of attempted arson contrary to section 308 of the penal code Act and was sentenced to <sup>3</sup> years imprisonment by a Magistrate Grade 1<

Under section 167 (1) (2) (a) of the Magistrate's court Act 197° as amended by Decree 17/7\*1 a sentence of imprisonment for a period of two yoars and over imposed by a Magistrate other than a Chief Magistrate requires confirmation by the High Court. That sentence of <sup>3</sup> yoars imprisonment imposed on the accused in this case by the Magistrate Grade <sup>1</sup> attracts confirmation.

I have looked at tho conviction and I am satisfied that it was proper because the plea was unoquivocal admission of the offonco, I therefore hereby confirm the sentence.
