The magistrate's factual finding that larvae were moving and therefore alive was permissible and not plainly wrong; the appellant failed to prove on the balance of probabilities that it honestly and reasonably believed no mosquito breeding existed because the measures at the site (use of a hollow plank covering the sag) were inadequate, so the common law defence was not made out and the conviction must stand.
