    HCMA563/2014

    The magistrate's acceptance of the prosecution witness's evidence that the appellant was riding a bicycle without a bell was within his province as the fact‑finder and there was no material misstatement, omission or procedural irregularity to render the conviction unsafe; the HK$1,000 fine was not manifestly excessive, therefore the appeals against conviction and sentence are dismissed.
