    The court held there was sufficient evidence for the magistrate to find that the appellant acted dishonestly and with intent to defraud by concealing the use of inferior grade 304 steel after becoming aware of it, and that the magistrate correctly applied the Ghosh test and reasonably inferred the grade of steel from ordering testimony and price differentials; appeal dismissed.
