The magistrate was entitled to accept the credible evidence of payment of only HK$10,000 to the village representative, to reject the appellant's inconsistent account of other payments, and to infer that the appellant dishonestly appropriated the unpaid HK$5,000 on the first charge and the corresponding sums on the other charge; accordingly the convictions were upheld.
