Conviction was upheld under the presumption in s.46, but the sentence of 3 years' imprisonment was excessive because a material mitigating fact — the appellant's involuntary enforced overnight stay in Hong Kong while in transit without intent to import or dispose of the drug locally — was not placed before or apparently considered by the trial judge; accordingly the sentence was reduced to 2 years' imprisonment.
