The magistrate was entitled to accept the evidence of the two marine police officers despite alleged minor discrepancies because those matters did not contradict the material evidence that boxes were transferred to a speedboat and taken into Mainland waters; on the totality of circumstantial evidence (remote location, lorry backed close to boats, prolonged unloading, appellant's conduct) it was open to infer beyond reasonable doubt that the appellant was party to the conspiracy, and the appeal was therefore dismissed.
