The trial magistrate's factual findings that the appellant was aware of the Deportation Order, used a false memorandum knowingly, and re‑entered Hong Kong knowingly were upheld; those findings satisfied the prosecution burden beyond reasonable doubt, and the imposed sentences (concurrent on like deportation breaches and consecutive for the distinct false instrument offence) were within lawful discretion and not excessive.
