The magistrate, entitled to assess witness credibility, found the appellant exposed a revolver and made unwarranted demands with menaces on the facts; those demands amounted to blackmail under Section 23 of the Theft Ordinance and the evidence was sufficient to prove mens rea and sustain the conviction; the appellate court will not disturb those findings, so the appeal is dismissed.
