The magistrate erred in law by treating "wholly or mainly" as requiring predominant use throughout the entire day; evidence of a distinct and repeated pattern of evening activity, two controlled transactions with marked money, possession of fees and key gave rise to a prima facie case that the premises were used wholly or mainly for arranging prostitution and that the respondent was assisting in management; appeal allowed and case remitted to magistrate to resume hearing.
