The presumption in section 47(1)(b) does not extend to a storeroom because the ejusdem generis rule confines 'other similar container' to containers of the same kind as those listed; the evidence did not make a storeroom the kind of container contemplated by the subsection, so the presumption did not arise and the drug conviction was unsafe and must be quashed. Convictions in respect of counterfeit notes found on the applicant's person remain valid; the second charge is to be limited accordingly and the applicant is to be released subject to immigration requirements.
