The fact that the defendant had not produced a key when. asked to by Senior Revenue Officer Watt who boarded the Angers who also referred to by the Attorney-General as indicating guilty knowledge. A further factor was the non-production by the defendant of the baggage room pass without which the defendant would not have been able to get his trunks. If the defendant had no knowledge of the contents, it was difficult to understand why he should have taken such pains to disassociate bimself from the trucks.
