The case stated was defective because the Magistrate did not set out the evidence; without the full evidence the Court could not conclude the Magistrate erred in finding no gambling; s.19 presumptions do not require the accused to give evidence to rebut them; playing mahjong is not necessarily gambling; accordingly the Crown's appeal was dismissed.
