Section 20(2) of the Societies Ordinance does not require proof of formal membership to convict for acting as a member; where expert and eyewitness evidence proves that a defendant responded to a triad summons and took part in conduct a triad commonly undertakes, an inference that he acted as a member is justified absent contrary evidence; naming a specific triad in the charge is unnecessary; on these bases the convictions and sentences were upheld and applications for leave to appeal were refused or dismissed.
