    HCMA313/1993

    Although the magistrate made two technical errors in phrasing (stating there was no evidence suggesting absence of intent and describing the back door as seen open), the trial findings show she accepted prosecution evidence and implicitly rejected the appellants' explanations; the primary evidence was overwhelming and supported an inference that goods were loaded from inside the premises to evade restriction, therefore the appeals were dismissed and the sentence affirmed.
