The Court held that even without relying on the statutory presumption the prosecution led sufficient and credible expert evidence to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the vessel Al was being constructed for the sole purpose of smuggling; the magistrate properly accepted the expert testimony and his adverse assessment of the appellant's explanations was justified; the sentence of six months imprisonment and a fine was not excessive given the need for deterrence.
