    On the whole evidence the trial judge was entitled to find the watch was given in connection with the appellant's public role and to keep him favourably disposed to EEM; the appellant knew reporting obligations and failed to declare the gift; the attendance list was a material item for reimbursement approvals and the prosecution proved dishonesty rather than mere negligence; therefore convictions on all counts were safe beyond reasonable doubt and the appeal fails.
