The magistrate properly accepted the police evidence; the officers had reasonable grounds to suspect the appellant of being an illegal immigrant and were authorized under ss.50 and 54 of the Police Force Ordinance to detain him for further inquiries; delaying notification of the reason for arrest until the appellant was secured was reasonable in the circumstances; the use of handcuffs was not excessive. Appeal dismissed.
