On the evidence (police testimony, three receipts with time entries and the cashier's statement) the magistrate was entitled to find an effective charge of HK$29 per room per hour was levied irrespective of tea served, that the rooms were let for the purpose of playing mahjong and that this constituted conducting mahjong by way of trade or business exceeding the permitted HK$20 per day; the appellants failed to rebut the presumption and convictions were affirmed.
