1. The appellants who appeal against sentence have not been able to persuade me the magistrate has erred in any manner in imposing a fine of $5,000 on each of them for the offence to which they have pleaded guilty, namely, without lawful authority or excuse they deposited a waste, namely a scrap wooden plank, in a public place at a side lane near No. 20 Wong Chuk Hang Road. This is contrary to section 16A(1) and section 18(1) of the Waste Disposal Ordinance, Cap.354.
