Could anyone please help with the following :)

I know the Coroner sent him for trial but can not find out what sentence he got.  Any help would be gratefully received

Hi,
The Coventry Evening Telegraph 12 Nov 1915 has a story of the murder and the verdict was John Mc Cue found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to five years Penal Service.
