After rehearing the evidence and affording appropriate deference to the trial magistrate's advantage in seeing and hearing witnesses, the court concluded PW1's evidence was properly accepted, the Magistrate did not unlawfully rely on uncharged acts, the appellant's guilt for two acts of common assault was proved beyond reasonable doubt, and a deterrent short custodial sentence of 10 days (14 reduced by 4 for mitigation) was appropriate and not excessive.
