　　　On October 1889, the variation of the compass observed by Lieut. D. YASUOKA I.J.N., at Nagato Strait is 4° 40′ westerly. Thenceforth the charts and sailing directions should be so corrected.

This notice affects the following Hydrographic office charts Nos. 143, 183, and 196.

(1154) The same place as above-Extension of Moji Bank.

With reference to Notice to Mariners No. 408 on 14th September 1889, on the existence of a shoal approaching Moji Bank:-

　　　It has recently been ascertained by a survey of Lieut. T. SUZUKI I. J. N., that Moji Bank has a tendency of gradual extension to south-westward, and it has extended about 2 cables in the same direction from the position of Moji buoy which now lies with Telegraph office bearing N. 55° 10′ W., and Moji-saki bearing N. 37° 5′ E. Hence it is found that the buoy has been moved southward about one cable from the position marked on the Hydrographic office chart No. 196.

The south-western extremity of this shoal with a depth of 23 fathoms (bottom shell) at low water springs lies with Telegraph office bearing N. 30° 30′ W., and Moji-saki bearing N. 41° 50′ E.

NOTE: The depth of water off Moji Bank changed considerably since 1884; also a shoal with a depth of 23 fathoms has been found in a N.EE. direction for a distance of about cable from Moji buoy. Mariners are therefore cau- tioned to exercise the great care in navigating in the vicinity of Moji buoy.

(The bearing are magnetic and variation 4° 40′ westerly in 1889.)

6.

When the salary of any contributor shall be reduced, either by his retirement on pension or otherwise, the monthly contribution to be made by him during his remaining period for contribution as laid down in the preceding section, shall be four per cent. of the actual salary or pension to which he is entitled, and the pension payable on his death to his widow or orphans shall be reduced by the same amount as would have been added to it had such contributor's salary been increased in the same ratio as that in which it has been diminished. But such contributor may, should he so desire, continue his previous rate of contribution for the remainder of his said period on his giving notice in writing to the directors of his intention to do so, in which case his widow or orphans shall be granted the full pension to which such rate of contribution entitles them.

16. A contributor who, for any reason except transfer to other employment under the Crown, or dismissal for misconduct, shall retire from the service without being entitled to pension, or whose office shall be abolished with- out his being entitled to a pension, shall cease to have any interest in the fund, and neither the widow nor orphan of such contributor shall have any claim upon such fund.

18. When any contributor shall be transferred from the service of the Colony to other employment under the Crown, he shall, from the date of such transfer, cease to contribute to the fund, but his widow or children, as the case may be, shall be entitled, on the death of such contributor, to a pension computed on the basis of the interest acquired by such contributor in the fund at the date of his transfer, in accordance with the tables hereinafter referred to. And if, when such contributor retires from the service of the Crown on pension, he is a bachelor or a widower without children born in wedlock, he may claim repayment from the fund of half of his total contributions, without interest, provided his claim is lodged in the manner prescribed by section 16.

The widow of any contributor by a second or any other subsequent marriage shall be entitled to the same pension as would have been paid to the first wife if she had survived her husband, provided that such second or sub- sequent wife was not younger at the date of her marriage with the contributor than the first wife would have been at such date if she had lived.

ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE METHODS OF ASSESSING THE PENSIONS.

1. The following is the mode of assessing the Pensions of Widows whose husbands were members as above,

and in the Public Service of Hongkong :

First Wife's Pension.

A.-IN CONSIDERATION OF THE CONTRIBUTIONS PAID BY SUCH MEMBER during Bachelorhood.

RULE: Accumulate the contributions at 6 per cent. compound interest, and multiply the amount by the quantity found in Table A corresponding to the respective ages of the husband and wife at the time of marriage.

The product will give the annual pension to which the wife will be entitled on her husband's death, on account of his past contributions.

EXAMPLE: Thus, if the total contributions of such member during bachelorhood, when accumulated at the rate of 6 per cent. interest, amount to $300, and the ages of himself and wife at the time of marriage are 30 and 20 respectively, then $300 × 2927 $87-8 wife's pension.

B.-IN CONSIDERATION OF THE FUTURE ANNUAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO BE PAYABLE FROM THE DATE

OF MARRIAGE.

(a) In respect of the official income receivable at the time of marriage.

RULE: Multiply the annual contribution by the quantity found in Table B corresponding to

the respective ages of the husband and wife at the time of marriage.

The product will give the annual pension to which the wife will be entitled on her husband's death on account of his contributions in respect of the official income receivable at the time of marriage.

EXAMPLE: Thus, if such last referred-to member's official income at the time of marriage be $1,000 a year, and the annual contribution be $40 (to cease at age 55), and the ages of himself and wife at the time of marriage be 30 and 20 respectively, then

$40 × 3·1888 $127.6 wife's pension.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH JANUARY, 1890.

(b) In respect of increments made to the official income after marriage.

RULE: Multiply the additional contribution by the quantity found in Table B corresponding to the respective ages of the husband and wife at the date of the increment of official income.

The product will give the additional annual pension to which the wife will be entitled on her husband's death in respect of his additional contributions on account of an increase of his official income.

EXAMPLE: Thus, if such last referred-to member's official income be increased by $200 a-year, and the then ages of himself and wife are respectively 35 and 25, then the further pension will be:

$8 × 2·781 $22.25

wife's further pension.

C.-ASSESSMENT OF THE AMOUNT OF THE Pension during THE TIME SUCH MEMBER IS A WIDOWER. When such member becomes a widower, a pension is to be supposed to attach for the benefit of a wife of exactly the same age as the late wife would have been, such pension either remaining unchanged in amount from that to which the late wife was entitled, or becoming subsequently augmented or reduced in the manner provided for by the Rules, according as such member's contributions increase or decrease from that time through variations in his official income.

The amount so determined is to form the basis for estimating the commencing pension to which a second wife becomes entitled at the time of her marriage.

EXAMPLE: Thus, if such last referred-to member becomes a widower, a pension of (87.8+127·6 +22·25) $237-65 is to be supposed to attach for the benefit of a wife of exactly the same age as the late wife would have been, and the pension will continue at that amount until such member's official income (and his consequent contribution) is either increased or decreased. If a further increment of $200 official income be made when such member is aged 40, and his late wife would have been aged 30, then the additional amount of supposed pension would be found by Rule 9 B (b) thus:

$8 × 2·295 = $18·4 = wife's supposed further pension.

Should such member re-marry, the amount to be used as a basis for estimating the commencing pension to which the second wife would be entitled would be either:

$237.65, if no augmentation had been made to the official income;

$256:05, if an augmentation of $200 had been made to the official income at age 40, as above.

NOTE: If there have been more than one wife, care must be taken to use always the age of the last wife.

Second Wife's Pension.

2. A.-PENSION TO WHICH A SECOND WIFE (OF SUCH MEMBER AS ABOVE) BECOMES ENTITLED ON MARRIAGE.

(a) When the second wife at the time of marriage is of the same age as, or older than, the first wife

would have been, if then alive.

RULE: The pension is to commence at the amount as determined by article 9 hereof, and to remain stationary at that amount, unless and until such member's official income be increased or decreased.

(b) When the second wife at the time of marriage is younger than the late wife would have been, if

then alive.

RULE: Take the pension as determined by article 9 hereof, and multiply it by the quantity found in Table C corresponding to the respective ages of the husband and that of his late wife at the time of the husband's second marriage; multiply the last product by the quantity found in Table A corresponding to the respective ages of the husband and his second wife at the time of their marriage. The final product will give the commencing annual pension to which the second wife will be entitled on her husband's death, in respect of his official income at the time of their marriage; and this pension is to remain stationary at that amount, unless and until such member's official income be increased or decreased.

EXAMPLE: Thus, if at the date of re-marriage the age such member's first wife would have been is 35, his own age is 45, and that of the second wife is 30, then, if the pension to which the first wife if alive would have been entitled to, as found by article 9 hereof, be $237-65,

$237.65 × 3·777 × ·2453 $220.18 second wife's commencing pension.

B.-INCREMENTS ON THE Last-found PENSIONS.

The second wives' pensions are to be augmented as often as their husbands have an increase of official income. Such augmentations to be calculated according to the principles and in the manner described in article 9 B (b) hereof, always taking the ages of the husband and wife as they stand at the date of the increase of official income.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 18TH JANUARY, 1890.

Third and subsequent Wives' Pensions.

　　　3. The rules laid down in articles 9 and 10 will apply, mutatis mutandis, to the case of pensions to a third, or any subsequently taken wife of a member as above. It should be borne in mind that the pension to the last wife, and the age she would have been at the date of the further marriage, are always to be taken as the basis for estimating the commencing pension to which the new wife is entitled.

Abatement of Widows' Pensions.

　　　4. When the official income of a member (as above) becomes reduced, either by abatement of the ordinary emoluments or by the grant of a permanent superannuation allowance, the widow's pension must be diminished by just the amount it would have been increased had the official income been raised instead of lowered.

　　　For instance, if such member's official income become reduced by $250 per annum, the existing pension to which, by the foregoing Rules, the wife was entitled should be diminished by the amount of pension corresponding to a contribution of $10 per annum.

　　　There would be no objection, in principle, to allowing such member to continue his old rate of contri- bution for the remainder of the 35 years, should he desire to do so, and so prevent a diminution of the pension; but, in that case, sufficient independent medical evidence should be produced that the state of his health is such that no financial damage to the Fund may be reasonably entertained. It is probable that a liberal construction of such a Rule would not operate adversely to the general interests, provided that some means be adopted of checking this election in the case of the higher officials, where the pensions would generally be above the average.

Pensions to Widows and Children of such Members as may have joined the Public Services of

other Colonies.

5. The widow's pension should be based upon the estimated acquired interest that such transferred member takes in the then existing Fund at the date of his removal. This interest may, until the financial position of the Fund has been determined by a Valuation be assessed as shown below. occasion of the Valuation then next ensuing, and upon all future Valuations, the interest as above estimated, and Upon the others emerging between the periods of Valuation, should be determined or adjusted as the circumstances disclosed by such investigations may require, and according to the advice of the Actuary or Actuaries reporting.

　　　6. The following Rules are applicable only up to the time of the first Valuation and they should be re-settled on the occasion of each Valuation by the Actuary, or Actuaries, then reporting :-

IF SUCH MEMBER BE A BACHELOR AT THE TIME OF HIS TRANSFER.

First Wife: His interest in the Fund should be taken as then, and according to Rule 9 A; and this amount should be further accumulated at 6 per cent, compound interest from the time of such transfer until his first marriage: and the pension that the widow thence arising is entitled to should be computed by the same Rule-regard being had to the cessation of further contributions, and to the accretion only of 6 per cent. compound interest upon the estimated assessed interest at the time of transfer.

EXAMPLE: Thus, if the total contributions of such member during bachelorhood and up to the time of transfer amount at interest to $200, and if this sum, when further accumulated at 6 per cent. compound interest, amount to $300 by the time of his first marriage, and if the ages of himself and wife at marriage are 30 and 20 respectively, then $300 × 2927 $87.8

wife's pension.

Second Wife: Take the pension as above determined, and multiply it by the quantity found in Table C corresponding to the respective ages of the husband and that of his late wife at the time of the husband's second marriage; multiply this last product by the quantity found in Table A corres- ponding to the respective ages of the husband and his second wife at the time of their marriage (vide art. 1 C).

EXAMPLE: Thus, if at the date of re-marriage the age of such husband's first wife would have been 35, his own age is 45, and that of his second wife is 30, then, if the pension to which the first wife if alive would have been entitled to, as found above, be $87.8, then

$87.8 x 8.777 × 2453. =

$81.3 = second wife's pension.

Third, &c., Wife: For a third, or subsequently taken wife, take the pension for the last existing wife

and proceed to adjust it in the manner shown for the case of the second wife.

7. IF SUCH MEMBER BE MARRIED, OR A WIDOWER, AT THE TIME OF HIS TRANSFer.

The widow's pension attaching to his then wife, or his supposed wife (if he be a widower) should be abated by just the amonnt that it would be increased corresponding to the amount of contributions that such member will cease to pay upon transfer from the Public Service of the Colony, and according to the principles laid down in art. 4. Again, this abated pension should be adjusted upon re-marriage, in the manner shown in art. 6, corresponding to the then ages of the husband and wife.

His Excellency the Governor has been pleased to issue the following Commission to enquire into the working of the Hongkong Observatory.

By Command,

F. FLEMING, Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 18th January, 1890.

[L.S.] G. WILLIAM DES VEUX.

　　　　Whereas it is expedient that a Commission be appointed to enquire into the working of the Hong- kong Observatory with special reference to the following details viz.:-

1. Whether the establishment of the Observatory has effected an improvement on the system of storm warnings which previously existed, and what measures could be taken to secure or to increase improvement in this direction.

2. The causes of failures, if any, in the system of storm warnings as worked from the Observatory.

What causes led to the absence of warning of the storm of October 13-16.

3. The practical advantages to the Community of this Colony obtained from the Observatory as

at present established, and how such advantages may be increased.

4. What proportion of the time of the Director and Staff of the Observatory is occupied in securing these practical advantages, as compared with time devoted to the general advancement of

science.

5. Whether the present expenditure on the Observatory is justified in view of the practical advantages above referred to. Whether the provision of a direct cable across the Harbour to secure regularity of communication; and the cost of working and maintaining it, was a justifiable expense; and whether further expenditure in the same direction (e.g. in payments to observers at Bolinao and elsewhere) might be considered desirable in view of the results to be expected from them.

6. Whether the Commission would recommend the continuance of the Observatory, with its present

or any other organisation.

7. Any recommendations the Commission desire to make on the above subjects.

　　　　Now, therefore, I. Sir G. WILLIAM DES VEUX, Knight Commander of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hong- kong and its Dependencies and Vice-Admiral of the same, in Executive Council assembled, do hereby under the powers vested in me by Ordinance 27 of 1886 entitled The Commissioners Powers Ordinance, 1886, appoint you :-

　　　　　His manner was sedate and dignified, but warmed by the glow of natural enthusiasm. He enumerated the several islands which he had visited, expatiated on the temperate character of the climate and the capacity of the soil for every variety of agricultural production, appealing to the samples imported by him as evidence of their natural fruitfulness. He dwelt more at large on the precious metals to be found in these islands, which he inferred less from the specimens actually obtained, than from the uniform testimony of the natives to their abundance in the unexplored regions of the interior.

JAPAN.

　　　　NAGASAKI HARBOUR.- -The Leander reports that a large flat stone, with 6 feet of water on it at L.W.S. lies S. by E. (mag.) 56 yards from the Pear-shapel Buoy off the Dry Dock. Shoal water extends considerably to the Northward of a line between Pear-shaped Buoy and Post. Lines 6 and 7 of the China Sea Directory Vol. IV. page 507, are incorrect, as it would be unsafe for a Ship of over 280 feet in length to lay at the Mooring Buoy.

　　　　The Mooring Buoy lies S. 72° E. 317 yards from the centre of the Caisson, and the Pear-shaped Buoy S. 43° W. 115 yards from the Mooring Buoy.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a practically complete Thesaurus of the whole Written Language ofChina, ancient and modern, as used all over the Empire, whilst its intro- ductory chapters serve the purposes of a philolo- gical guide to the student.

A Supplement, arranged for being bound and used by itself, and containing a List of the Radicals, an Index, and a List of Surnames, will be published and sold separately.

To the Proprietors of the

HONGKONG & SHANGHAI BANKING CORPORATION.

GENTLEMEN,

The Directors have now to submit to you a General Statement of the affairs of the Bank, and Balance Sheet for the half-year ending 31st December, 1889.

The net profits for that period, including $70.307.32 balance brought forward from last account, after paying all charges, deducting interest paid and due, and making provision for bad and doubtful accounts, amount to $1,119,310.47, of which after taking out remu- neration to Directors, there remains for appro- priation $1.109,310.47.

From this sum, the Directors recommend the payment of a Dividend of One Pound and Ten Shillings per Share, which at 4/6 will absorb $400,000, and a Bonus of Ten-Shillings per Share which will absorb $133.333.33.

The difference in Exchange between 4/6, the rate at which the Dividend and Bonus are de- clared, and 3/1, the rate of the day, amounts to $234,666.67.

They recommend transferring $200,000 to the Credit of Reserve Fund, which will then stand at $4,600,000.

The Balance $141,310.47 to be carried to New Profit and Loss Account.

DIRECTORS.

Mr. H. L. DALRYMPLE has been appointed Chairman for the year 1890 and Mr. J. S. MOSES Deputy Chairman. Mr. J. F. HOLLIDAY, Mr. N. A. SIEBS, and Mr. E. A.

Provided always that in all cases in which a defendant shall be so discharged upon recog- nisance as aforesaid, and shall not afterwards appear at the time and place in such recognisance mentioned, the Magistrate then present, shall certify (vII.) on the back of the recognisance the non-appearance of the defendant and may declare the same to be forfeited in the manner hereinafter provided and may also forthwith issue a war- rant for his apprehension.

20. In all cases of complaints upon which a Magistrate may make an order for payment of money, or otherwise it shall not be necessary that such complaint shall be in writing unless it shall be required so to be by some par- ticular Ordinance or Statute upon which such complaint

shall be framed.

21. In all cases of offences other than indictable offences where no time is by any Ordinance or Statute or shall hereafter by any future Ordinance or Statute be limited for making any complaint or laying any information in respect of such offences, such complaint shall be made or such information laid within six months from the time when the matter of such complaint or information re- spectively arose.

(3.) A warrant of commitment shall not be held void by reason of any defect therein, if it be therein alleged that the offender has been convicted or ordered to do or abstain from doing any act or thing required to be done or left undone, and there is a good and valid conviction or order to sustain the same; and

(4.) A warrant of distress shall not be deemed void by reason only of any defect therein, if it be therein alleged that a conviction or order has been made, and there is a good and valid convic- tion or order to sustain the same, and a person acting under a warrant of distress shall not be deemed a trespasser ab initio by reason only of any defect in the warrant, or of any irregu- larity in the execution of the warrant, but this enactment shall not prejudice the right of any person to satisfaction for any special damage caused by any defect in or irregularity in the execution of a warrant of distress, so however that if amends are tendered before suit or action brought, or if the suit or action is brought, are paid into Court in the suit or action, and the plaintiff does not recover more than the sum so tendered and paid into Court, the plaintiff shall not be entitled to any costs incurred after such tender, and the defendants shall be entitled to their taxed costs; and

(5.) All goods forfeited by order of a Magistrate may be sold or disposed of in such manner as the Magistrate may direct, and the proceeds of such sale shall be applied in the like manner as if the proceeds were a fine imposed under the Ordi- nance or Statute on which the proceeding for the forfeiture is founded.

(2.) Such register, and also any extract from such register certified by the clerk keeping the same to be a true extract, shall be prima facie evidence of the matters entered therein for the purpose of informing a Magistrate or the Magistrates, but nothing in this section shall dis- pense with the legal proof of a previous conviction for an offence when required to be proved against a person charged with another offence.

(3.) The entries relating to each minute, memo- randum or proceeding shall be either entered or signed by the Magistrate or one of the Magistrates constituting the Court by or before whom the conviction or order or proceeding referred to in the minute or memorandum was made or had.

proved the offence was in the particular case of so trifling a nature that it is inexpedient to inflict any punishment, or any other than a nominal punishment,-

(1.) The Magistrate without proceeding to conviction, may dismiss the complaint or information (xxvI., XLV.), and if he thinks fit, may order the de- fendant to pay such damages, not exceeding ten dollars, and such costs of the proceeding, or either of them, as the Magistrate thinks reason- able; or,

(2.) The Magistrate upon convicting (XXI.) the

defendant may discharge him conditionally on' his giving security, (v.), with or without sure- ties, to appear for sentence when called upon, or to be of good behaviour, and either without payment of damages and costs, or subject to the payment of such damages and costs, or either of them, as the Magistrate thinks reasonable.

32. Where a defendant is fined a sum not exceeding five dollars and the same is not forthwith paid the Magistrate inflicting such fine may order the defendant to be searched and if the defendant on being searched is found to have on his person any sum of money equalling or exceeding the amount of his fine, it shall be lawful for the Magistrate upon oath made to him of the fact by any person who was present when the defendant was searched to order that so much of the said sum of money as may be sufficient to satisfy the said fine be forfeited by the defendant and that the defendant be thereupon discharged from custody.

33. (1.) Subject as in this Ordinance mentioned, and notwithstanding any enactment to the contrary, where a Magistrate has authority under this Ordinance, or under any other Ordinance or Statute whether past or future, to impose imprisonment or to impose a fine for an offence punishable on summary conviction, such Magistrate may, in the case of imprisonment, impose the same without hard labour, and reduce the prescribed period thereof, or do either of such acts.

(2.) Where in the case either of imprisonment or a fine there is prescribed a requirement for the offender to enter into his recognisance and to find sureties for keeping the peace, and observing some other condition, or to do any of such things, the Magistrate may dispense with any such requirement or any part thereof.

(3.) Where a Magistrate has authority under an Ordinance or Statute other than this Ordinance, whether past or future, to impose imprisonment for an offence punishable on summary conviction, and has not authority to impose a fine for that offence, such Magistrate when adjudicating on such offence may notwithstanding, if he thinks that the justice of the case will be better met by a fine than by imprisonment, impose a fine not exceeding two hundred dollars and not being of such an amount as will subject the offender under the provisions of this Ordinance, in default of payment of the fine, to any greater term of imprisonment than that to which he is liable under the Ordinance or Statute authorising the said imprisonment.

(4.) Whenever any person shall be convicted sum- marily before a Magistrate of any offence against the provisions of any Ordinance or Statute in force in the Colony whereby a minimum amount of fine or term of imprisonment is prescribed by way of punishment for such offence, it shall be lawful for the Magistrate if he shall in his discretion think fit to award a less amount of fine or term of imprisonment than that prescribed by way of minimum punishment as aforesaid or to award in certain cases a merely nominal punishment notwithstanding anything in such Ordinance or Statute to the contrary.

34. (1.) Where a power is given by any future Ordi- nance or Statute to a Magistrate of requiring any person to do or abstain from doing any act or thing other than the payment of money, or of requiring any act or thing to be done or left undone other than the payment of money, and no mode is prescribed of enforcing such requisition, a Magistrate may exercise such power by an order or orders, and may annex to any such order any conditions as to time or mode of action which he may think just, and may suspend or rescind any such order on such under- taking being given or condition being performed as he may think just, and generally may make such arrangement for carrying into effect such power as to him seems meet.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 15TH FEBRUARY, 1890. 117

(2.) A person making default in complying with an order of a Magistrate in relation to any matter arising under any future Ordinance or Statute other than the payment of money shall be punished in the prescribed manner, or if no punishment is prescribed, may, in the discretion of the Magistrate, be ordered to pay a sum not exceeding five dollars for every day during which he is in default, or to be imprisoned until he has remedied his default.

Provided that a person shall not, for non-compliance with the requisition of a Magistrate whether made by one or more orders, to do or abstain from doing any act or thing, be liable under this section to imprisonment for a period or periods amounting in the aggregate to more than two months, or to the payment of any sums exceeding in the

aggregate one hundred dollars.

35. The Magistrate by whose conviction or order any sum is adjudged to be paid may do all or any of the fol- lowing things, viz.:-

(1.) Allow time for the payment of the said sum. (2.) Direct payment to be made of the said sum by

instalments, and

(3.) Direct that the person liable to pay the said sum shall be at liberty to give to the satisfaction of a Magistrate or such person as may be specified by the Magistrate adjudging the money to be paid, security with or without a surety or sureties for the payment of the said sum or of any instal- ment thereof, and such security may be given and enforced in manner provided by this Ordi-

nance.

Where a sum is directed to be paid by instalments and default is made in the payment of any one instalment, the same proceedings may be taken as if default had been made in payment of all the instalments then remaining unpaid. A Magistrate directing the payment of a sum or of an instalment of a sum may direct such payment to be made at such time or times, and in such place or places and to such person or persons, as may be specified by such Magistrate and every person not being the Magistrate's clerk to whom any such sum or instalment is paid, shall as soon as may be account for and pay over the same to such clerk. (XV. to XXI.).

36. Where any property has been taken from a person charged before a Magistrate with an offence punishable either on information to the Court or on summary convic- tion, a report shall be made by the Police to the Magistrate of the fact of such property having been taken from the accused or defendant and of the particulars thereof and the Magistrate shall, if of opinion that the property or any portion thereof can be returned consistently with the inte- rests of justice and with the safe custody of the accused or defendant, direct such property or any portion thereof to be returned to the accused or defendant or such other per- son as he may direct.

37. Every person who shall aid, abet, counsel or procure the commission of any offence which is or hereafter shall be punishable by a Magistrate on summary conviction shall be liable to be proceeded against and convicted for the same either together with the principal offender or be- fore or after his conviction and shall be liable to the same punishment and penalties as such principal is or shall be by law liable.

38. A Magistrate shall not, by cumulative sentences of imprisonment (other than for default of finding sureties) to take effect in succession in respect of several assaults committed on the same occasion, impose on any person imprisonment for the whole exceeding six months; but nothing in this section shall be deemed to affect the pro- visions hereinafter contained in section 83.

Where a conviction (xvI.) adjudges a fine to be paid, or where an order requires the payment of a sum of money and by the Ordinance or Statute past or future authorising such conviction or order such fine or sum of money is to be levied upon the goods and chattels of the defendant by distress and sale thereof, and also in cases where by the Ordinance or Statute past or future in that behalf no mode of raising or levying such fine or sum of money, or of enforcing the payment of the same, is stated or provided, it shall be lawful for a Magistrate to issue his warrant of distress (XL., XLI.) for the purpose of levying

40. Where a Magistrate shall issue any such warrant of distress it shall be lawful for him to suffer the defendant to go at large, or by a written warrant in that behalf, (LIV.) or verbally to order the defendant to be kept and de- tained in safe custody until return shall be made to such warrant of distress, unless such defendant shall give suffi- cient security, by recognisance or otherwise, to the satis- faction of such Magistrate, for his appearance before a Ma- gistrate at the time and place appointed for the return of such warrant of distress: Provided always, that in all cases where a defendant shall give security by recognisance as aforesaid, and shall not afterwards appear at the time and place in such recognisance mentioned, then the Magistrate then present may forthwith declare the same to be estreated in manner hereinafter provided.

41. If at the time and place appointed for the return of any

such warrant of distress the constable who shall have had the execution of the same, shall return (XLIX.) that he could find no goods or chattels or no sufficient goods or chattels whereon he could levy the sum or sums therein mentioned, together with the costs of or occasioned by the levying of the same it shall be lawful for the Magistrate before whom the same shall be returned to issue his warrant of commitment (LIII.) under his hand and seal, directed to the same or any other constable, reciting the conviction or order shortly, the issuing of the warrant of distress, and the return there- to, and requiring such constable to convey such defendant to prison, and there to deliver him to the Superintendent thereof, and requiring such Superintendent to receive the defendant and to imprison him, or to imprison him and keep him to hard labour, in such manner and for such time as shall have been directed and appointed by the Ordinance or Statute on which the conviction or order mentioned in such warrant of distress was founded, unless the sum or sums adjudged to be paid, and all costs and charges of the distress, (the amount thereof being ascertained and stated in such commitment), shall be sooner paid.

42. Whenever it shall be returned to a warrant of dis- tress issued for the recovery of a fine or sum of money ordered to be paid under a conviction or order that no sufficient goods of the party against whom such warrant shall have been issued can be found, and by the Ordinance or Statute under the provisions of which such conviction or order was made, no further remedy or punishment is provided for the non-payment of such fine or sum of money, it shall nevertheless be lawful for a Magistrate if he shall think fit, by his warrant (LIII.) as aforesaid, to commit the defendant to prison for any term not exceeding three calendar months with or without hard labour unless the fine or sum adjudged to be paid, and all costs and charges of the distress, (the amount thereof being ascertained and stated in such com- mitment) shall be sooner paid.

43. In all cases where the Ordinance or Statute by virtue of which a conviction for a fine or an order for the payment of money is made, makes no provision for such fine or sum being levied by distress, but directs that if the same be not paid forthwith, or within a certain time therein mentioned, or to be mentioned in such conviction or order, the defendant shall be imprisoned, or imprisoned and kept to hard labour, for a certain time, unless such fine or sum shall be sooner paid, in every such case such fine or sum shall not be levied by distress; but if the defendant do not pay the same, together with costs, if awarded, forthwith, or at the time specified in such conviction or order for the

44. Where a conviction does not order the payment of any fine, but that the defendant be imprisoned, or impri- soned and kept to hard labour, for his offence, or where an order is not for the payment of money, but for the doing of some other act, and directs that in case of the defend- ant's neglect or refusal to do such act he shall be impri- soned, or imprisoned and kept to hard labour, and the de- fendant neglects or refuses to do such act, in every such case it shall be lawful for a Magistrate to issue his warrant of commitment (LV., LVI.) under his hand and seal, re- quiring the constable or constables to whom the same shall be directed to take and convey such defendant to prison and there to deliver him to the Superintendent thereof, and requiring such Superintendent to receive such defendant and to imprison him, or to imprison him and keep him to hard labour, as the case may be, for such time as the Ordinance or Statute on which such conviction or order is founded as aforesaid shall direct; and in all such cases, where by such conviction or order any sum for costs shall be adjudged to be paid by the defendant to the com- plainant or prosecutor, such sum may, if the Magistrate shall think fit, be levied by warrant of distress (XLII., XLIII.) in manner aforesaid, and in default of distress the defendant may, if such Magistrate shall think fit, be also committed to prison (LVIII.) there to be kept for any time not exceeding one calendar month with or without hard labour to commence at the termination of the imprison- ment he shall then be undergoing, unless such sum for costs, and all costs and charges of the said distress shall be sooner paid.

45. Where a Magistrate shall upon any complaint or information as aforesaid adjudge the defendant to be im- prisoned, and such defendant shall then be in prison under- going imprisonment upon a conviction for any other offence the warrant of commitment for such subsequent offence shall in every such case be forthwith delivered to the gaoler to whom the same shall be directed and it shall be lawful for the Magistrate issuing the same, if he shall think fit, to award and order therein and thereby that the im- prisonment for such subsequent offence shall commence at the expiration of the imprisonment to which such defendant shall liave been previously adjudged or sentenced.

46. In all cases where any person against whom a warrant of distress shall issue as aforesaid shall pay or tender to the constable having the execution of the same the sum or sums in such warrant mentioned, together with the amount of the expenses of such distress up to the time of such payment or tender, such constable shall cease to execute the same; and in all cases in which any person shall be imprisoned as aforesaid for non-payment of any fine or other sum he may pay or cause to be paid to the Superintendent of the prison in which he shall be so im- prisoned the sum in the warrant of commitment mentioned, together with the amount of the costs therein mentioned, and the said Superintendent shall receive the same, and shall thereupon discharge such person, if he be in his custody for no other matter.

47. The following regulations shall apply with respect to warrants of distress issued by a Magistrate under this Ordinance :-

(1.) A warrant of distress shall be executed by or

under the direction of a constable.

(2.)

to warrants of commitment for non- payment of money and as to warrants of distress. (42 & 43 V.

c. 49, s. 21.)

(3.) Subject as aforesaid, the distress shall be sold

within the period fixed by the warrant and if no period is so fixed, then within the period of four- teen days from the date of the making of the dis- tress unless the sum for which the warrant was issued and also the charges of taking and keeping the said distress are sooner paid.

(4.) Subject to any directions to the contrary given by the warrant of distress, when the distress is levied on household goods, the goods shall not except with the consent in writing of the person against whom the distress is levied be removed from the house until the day of sale, but so much of the goods shall be impounded as are in the opinion of the person executing the warrant suffi- cient to satisfy the distress by affixing to the articles impounded a conspicuous mark; and any person removing any goods so marked or defacing or removing the said mark shall on summary conviction be liable to a fine not exceeding twenty- five dollars.

(5.) Where a.person charged with the execution of a warrant of distress wilfully retains from the pro- duce of any goods sold to satisfy the distress or otherwise exacts any greater costs and charges than those to which he is for the time being en- titled by law or makes any improper charge he shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding twenty-five dollars.

(6.) A written account (L.) of the costs and charges incurred in respect of the execution of any warrant of distress shall be sent by the constable charged with the execution of the warrant as soon as practicable to the Magistrate's clerk; and it shall be lawful for the person upon whose goods the distress was levied within one month after the levy of the distress to inspect such account with- out fee or reward at any reasonable time to be appointed by a Magistrate and to take a copy of such account.

(7.) A Constable charged with the execution of a war- rant of distress shall cause the distress to be sold and may deduct out of the amount realized by such sale all costs and charges actually incurred in effecting such sale and shall render to the owner the surplus (if any) after retaining the amount for which the warrant was issued and the proper costs and charges of the execution of the

warrant.

(8.) Where a person pays or tenders to the constable charged with the execution of a warrant of dis- tress the sum mentioned in the warrant or pro- duces the receipt for the same of the Magistrate's clerk and also pays the amount of the costs and charges of such distress up to the time of such payment or tender, the constable shall not execute the warrant.

48. (1.) A Magistrate to whom application is made either to issue a warrant of distress for any sum adjudged to be paid by a conviction or order, or to issue a warrant for committing a person to prison for non-payment of a sum of money adjudged to be paid by a conviction, or in the case of a sum not a civil debt by an order, or for default of sufficient distress to satisfy any such sum, may, if he deem it expedient so to do, postpone the issue of such warrant until such time and on such conditions, if any, as to him may seem just.

(2.) The wearing apparel and bedding of a person and his family, and to the value of twenty-five dollars the tools and implements of his trade, shall not be taken under a distress issued by a Magistrate.

(3.) Where on application to a Magistrate to issue a warrant for committing a person to prison for non-payment of a sum adjudged to be paid by a conviction or in the case of a sum not a civil debt by an order or for default of sufficient distress to satisfy any such sum, it appears to the Magistrate to whom the application is made that either by payment of part of the said sum, whether in the shape of instalments or otherwise, or by the net proceeds of the distress, the amount of the sum so adjudged has been reduced to such an extent that the unsatisfied balance, if it had constituted the original amount adjudged to be paid by the conviction or order, would have subjected the de-

fendant to a maximum term of imprisonment less than the term of imprisonment to which he is liable under such conviction or order, the Magistrate shall, by his warrant of commitment, revoke the term of imprisonment, and order the defendant to be imprisoned for a term not ex- ceeding such less maximum term instead of the term ori- ginally mentioned in the conviction or order. (xXIV., LIX.)

Recognisances, &c.

49. In all cases punishable on summary conviction the Magistrate may upon conviction of the defendant either in addition to or in lieu of any other punishment order the defendant to enter into a recognisance with two sufficient sureties for his good behaviour and in such sum and for such term as the Magistrate shall think fit so as such sum do not exceed two hundred dollars nor such term twelve months. And the Magistrate may order the defendant in default of compliance with such last mentioned order to be imprisoned for a period not exceeding six months.

50. The power of a Magistrate upon complaint of any person, to adjudge a person to enter into a recognisance and find sureties to keep the peace or to be of good beha- viour towards such first-mentioned person, (XXVIII.) shall be exercised by an order upon complaint, (XXVII.) and the provisions of this Ordinance shall apply accordingly, and the complainant and defendant and witnesses may be called and examined and cross-examined, and the complainant and defendant shall be subject to costs, as in the case of any other complaint.

The Magistrate may order the defendant, in default of compliance with such last mentioned order, to be impri- soned for a period not exceeding six months.

51. Where a person has been committed to prison by a Magistrate for default in finding sureties, either Magistrate may on application (XXXII.) made to him in manner di- rected by the rules in the 3rd Schedule hereto by such person or by some one acting on his behalf, inquire into the case of the person so committed, and if upon new evidence produced to such Magistrate or proof of a change of circumstances the Magistrate thinks fit having regard to all the circumstances of the case, that it is just so to do, he may reduce the amount for which it is proposed the sureties or surety should be bound, or dispense with the sureties or surety, or otherwise deal with the case as he may think just. (XXXIII.)

52. When a Magistrate has fixed, as respects any re- cognisance, the amount in which the principal and the sureties (if any) are to be bound, the recognisance, not- withstanding anything in this or any past Ordinance or Statute need not be entered into before such Magistrate but may subject to the rules in the 3rd Schedule hereto be entered into by the parties before the other Magis- trate or before the Magistrate's clerk or before a Su- perintendent or Inspector of Police or other officer of Police of equal or superior rank or where any of the parties is in prison before the Superintendent thereof and there- upon all the consequences of law shall ensue and the pro- visions of this Ordinance with respect to recognisances taken before a Magistrate shall apply as if the recognisance had been entered into before a Magistrate as heretofore by law required.

53. (1.) A person shall give security under this part of the Ordinance, whether as principal or surety, either by the deposit of money with the Magistrate's clerk or by an oral or written acknowledgment (V., XXXIV.) of the under- taking or condition by which and of the sum for which he is bound and evidence of such security may be provided by entry thereof in the register under this Ordinance of the proceedings of the Magistrates.

(2.) Any sum which may become due in pursuance of a security under this part of the Ordinance from a surety shall be recoverable summarily in manner directed by this Ordinance with respect to a civil debt on complaint by a constable or by the Magistrate's clerk or by some other person authorised for the purpose by a Magistrate.

(3.) A Magistrate may enforce payment of any sum due by a principal in pursuance of a security under this part of the Ordinance which appears to him to be forfeited, in like manner as if that sum were adjudged to be paid as a fine, if the security was given for a sum adjudged by a conviction (XLVIII.), and in any other case in like man- ner as if it were a sum adjudged to be paid as a civil debt; provided that before a warrant of distress for the sum is

(5.) Where security is given under this part of the Ordi- nance for payment of a sum of money, the payment of such sum shall be enforced by means of such security in substi- tution for other means of enforcing such payment.

54. (1.) Where a recognisance (v.) is conditioned for the appearance of a person before a Magistrate or for his doing some other matter or thing to be done before or by order of a Magistrate or in a proceeding before a Magis- trate, such Magistrate if the said recognisance appears to him to be forfeited, may declare the recognisance to be forfeited and enforce payment of the sum due under such recognisance in the same manner as if the sum were a fine adjudged by a Magistrate to be paid and the amount of the same were ascertained by a conviction (XLVI.): Provided that at any time before the sale of goods under a warrant of distress for the said sum, a Magistrate may cancel or mitigate the forfeiture (xxxI.) upon the person liable ap- plying and giving security (xxxv.) to the satisfaction of the Magistrate for the future performance of the condition of the recognisance, and paying or giving security for pay- ment of the costs incurred in respect of the forfeiture, or upon such other conditions as the Magistrate may think just.

(2.) Where a recognisance (XXVIII.) conditioned to keep the peace or to be of good behaviour, or not to do or commit some act or thing, has been entered into by any person as principal or surety before a Magistrate, either Magistrate. upon proof of the conviction of the person bound as principal by such recognisance of any offence which is in law a breach of the condition of the same, may by conviction adjudge such recognisance to be forfeited, and adjudge the persons bound thereby, whether as principal or sureties, or any of such persons, to pay the sums for which they are respectively bound (XXIX., XXX., XLVII.)

(3.) All sums paid in respect of a recognisance declared or adjudged by a Magistrate in pursuance of this section to be forfeited shall be paid to the Magistrate's clerk, and shall be paid and applied by him in the manner in which fines imposed by such Magistrate, in respect of which fines no special appropriation is made, are payable and applicable.

55. A civil debt may be recovered on summons (LXI.) and enforced in the manner hereinafter provided: and the payment of any costs ordered to be paid by the complainant or defendant in the case of any such complaint shall be enforced in like manner as such civil debt and not other- wise.

56. Any sum of money recoverable summarily as a civil debt within the meaning of this or any future Ordinance or in respect of the recovery of which jurisdiction is given by such Ordinance to a Magistrate shall be deemed to be a sum for payment of which a Magistrate has authority by law to make an order on complaint under this Ordinance (LXII. to LXIX.): Provided as follows:-

(1.) A warrant shall not be issued for apprehending any person for failing to appear to answer any such complaint; and

(2.) An order made by a Magistrate for the payment of any such civil debt as aforesaid or of any instalment thereof or for the payment of the costs in the matter of any such complaint whether or- dered to be paid by the complainant or defendant shall not in default of distress or otherwise be enforced by imprisonment unless it be proved to the satisfaction of a Magistrate that the person making default in payment of such civil debt, instalment or costs either has or has had since

63. In all cases of felony or misdemeanour committed on the High Seas or in foreign Parts or in any creek, har- bour, haven or other place within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty for which an information may be preferred by the Attorney General of the Colony, it shall be lawful for either Magistrate, if the accused shall reside or be or shall be supposed to reside or be within the Colony or the waters thereof to issue his warrant to apprehend the accused and to cause him to be brought before one of the Magistrates to answer to the charge and to be further dealt with ac- cording to law.

64. Where any information is filed by the Attorney General against any person who shall then be at large and whether such person shall have been bound by recognisance to appear to answer to the same or not, the Registrar upon application of the prosecutor or of any person on his behalf and on payment of a fee of twenty-five cents (if the person against whom an information has been filed shall not have already appeared and pleaded to such information) shall grant to him a certificate of such information having been filed; and upon production of such certificate to a Magis- trate it shall be lawful for him and he is hereby required to issue his warrant (III.) to apprehend the accused and to cause him to be brought before him to be dealt with according to law and afterwards if such person be ap- prehended and brought before a Magistrate such Magis- trate upon its being proved on oath before him that the person so apprehended is the same person who is charged and named in such information shall without further enquiry or examination commit him for trial or admit him to bail in manner hereinafter mentioned: and if such person against whom an information is so filed by the Attorney General as aforesaid shall be confined in prison for any other offence than that charged in the in- formation at the time of such application and production of the said certificate to. a Magistrate, it shall be lawful for such Magistrate and he is hereby required upon its being proved before him on oath that the accused and the person so confined in prison are the same person to issue his warrant directed to the Superintendent of the prison commanding him to detain the accused in his custody until by a writ of Habeas corpus he shall be re- moved therefrom for the purpose of being tried upon the information of the Attorney General or until he shall

otherwise be removed therefrom or discharged out of his custody by due course of law.

65. In all cases where a charge or complaint for any indictable offence shall be made before a Magistrate, if it be intended to issue a warrant in the first instance against the accused, an information and complaint thereof in writing on the oath of the informant or of some witness or witnesses in that behalf shall be laid before such Magistrate: Provided always, that in all cases where it is intended to issue a summons instead of a warrant in the first instance, it shall not be necessary that such informa- tion and complaint shall be in writing or be sworn to in manner aforesaid but in every such case such information and complaint may be by parol merely and without any oath whatever to support or substantiate the same: Pro- vided also, that no objection shall be taken or allowed to any information or complaint for any alleged defect therein in substance or in form or for any variance between it and the evidence adduced on the part of the prosecution before the Magistrate who shall take the examination of the witnesses in that behalf as hereinafter mentioned.

66. The provisions with reference to suminonses herein- before contained in Part III. of this Ordinance in relation to offences punishable summarily shall apply equally mutatis mutandis to summonses under this part of the Ordinance.

67. The provisions with reference to the form of war- rants, the direction to be contained therein and the execu- tion thereof hereinbefore contained in Part III. of this Ordinance in relation to offences punishable summarily shall apply equally mutatis mutandis to warrants under this part of the Ordinance.

70. If upon the hearing of an information or charge for an indictable offence from the absence of witnesses or from any other reasonable cause it shall become necessary or advisable to defer the examination or further examination of the witnesses for any time it shall be lawful to and for the Magistrate before whom the accused shall appear or be brought up by his warrant (XII., LXXVI.) from time to time to remand the accused for such time as by such Magistrate in his discretion shall be deemed reasonable not exceeding eight clear days to prison or some place of secu- rity; or if the remand be for a time not exceeding three clear days it shall be lawful for such Magistrate verbally to order the constable, peace officer or other person in whose custody the accused may then be or any other con- stable or person to be named by the said Magistrate in that behalf to continue and keep the accused in his custody and to bring him before the same Magistrate at the time appointed for continuing such examination: Provided always, that such Magistrate may order the accused to be brought before either Magistrate at any time before the expiration of the time for which the accused shall be so remanded, and the gaoler or officer in whose custody he shall then be shall duly obey such order: Provided also, that, instead of detaining the accused in custody during the period for. which he shall be so remanded, a Magis- trate before whom the accused shall so appear or be brought as aforesaid may discharge him, upon his entering into a recognisance with or without a surety or sureties (LXXVII., LXXVIII.) at the discretion of such Magistrate condi-

71. The room or building in which a Magistrate shall hear an information or charge for an indictable offence shall not be deemed an open Court for that purpose: and it shall be lawful for the Magistrate hearing the case in his discretion to order that no person shall have access to or be or remain in such room or building without the con- sent or permission of such Magistrate if it appear to him that the ends of justice will be best answered by so doing.

72. Upon the hearing of an information, or charge for an indictable offence where the accused shall be present at the hearing, the Magistrate shall before committing the accused to prison for trial or before admitting him to bail, in the presence of the accused proceed to take evidence for and on behalf of the prosecutor and his witnesses in the same manner (XIII.) as hereinbefore provided for the taking of the evidence of the complainant, informant or prosecutor and his witnesses on complaints, or on information for offences punishable on summary conviction, and the accused or his counsel shall be at liberty to put questions to any witnesses produced against him, and further the deposi- tions or evidence of the prosecutor and his witnesses shall be read over to and signed respectively by the witnesses, who shall have been so examined and shall also be signed by the Magistrate taking the same.

73. After the examination of all the witnesses on the part of the prosecution shall have been completed "the Magistrate by or before whom such examination shall have been so completed as aforesaid, shall without re- quiring the attendance of the witnesses, read or cause to be read to the accused or when necessary cause to be interpreted the depositions taken against him and shall say to him these words or words to the like effect or cause the same to be interpreted to him: "Having heard "the evidence, do you wish to say anything in answer "to the charge? You are not obliged to say anything "unless you desire to do so, but whatever you say will "be taken down in writing and may be given in evidence against you upon your trial," and whatever the accused shall then say in answer thereto shall be taken down in writing, and read over to him, and shall be signed by the said Magistrate and kept with the depositions of the witnesses, and shall be transmitted with them as hereinafter mentioned (LXX.); Provided always, that the Magistrate before the accused shall make any statement, shall state or cause to be interpreted to him and give him or cause him clearly to understand that he has nothing to hope from any promise of favor and nothing to fear from any threat which may have been holden out to him to induce him to make any admission or confession of his guilt, but that what- ever he shall then say may be given in evidence against him on his trial, notwithstanding such promise or threat: Pro- vided nevertheless, that nothing herein contained shall prevent the prosecutor in any case from giving in evidence any admission or confession or other statement of the accused made at any time which by law would be admis- sible as evidence against him.

74. If the accused shall make any such statement or shall be unwilling so to do the Magistrate hearing the case shall then demand and require of the accused or his counsel whether he desires to call any witness or evidence and if he so call or desire to call any witness or witnesses or evidence such Magistrate shall in the presence of the accused take such evidence on oath both examination and cross-examination of the witnesses who shall be called by the accused or his counsel and who shall know anything relating to the facts or circumstances of the case or any- thing tending to prove the innocence of the accused and shall put the same into writing and such depositions of such witnesses shall be read over and signed respectively by the witnesses so examined and also by the Magistrate taking the same.

Provided always, that if any such witness for the prose- cution or defence shall refuse to enter into or acknowledge such recognisance as aforesaid it shall be lawful for such Magistrate by his warrant, (LXXIV.) to commit him to prison there to be safely kept until after the trial of the accused unless in the meantime such witness shall duly enter into such recognisance as aforesaid before a Magistrate: Provided nevertheless, that if afterwards, from want of sufficient evidence in that behalf or other cause, the Magis- trate before whom the accused shall have been brought shall not commit him or hold him to bail for the offence with which he is charged, it shall be lawful for either Ma- gistrate by his order in that behalf (LXXV.), to order and direct the Superintendent of the prison where such witness shall be so in custody to discharge him from the same, and such Superintendent shall thereupon forthwith discharge. him accordingly: Provided further, that all such recog- nisances so taken together with the written information (if any) or summons, the depositions on either side and the statement of the accused (if any) shall be kept together until the close of the case before the Magistrate and if the accused be then committed for trial shall forthwith be transmitted by the said Magistrate or he shall cause the same to be transmitted to the Registrar.

76. When all the evidence offered upon the part of the prosecution against the accused shall have been heard, if the Magistrate shall be of opinion that it is not sufficient to put the accused upon his trial for any indictable offence, such Magistrate shall forthwith order the accused, if in custody, to be discharged as to the information then under inquiry; but if in the opinion of such Magistrate such evidence is sufficient to put the accused upon his trial for an indictable offence, or if the evidence given raise a strong or probable presumption of the guilt of the accused, then such Magistrate shall, by his warrant, commit him to prison to be there safely kept until he shall be thence delivered by due course of law, or admit him to bail as hereinbefore mentioned.

79. Nothing in this part of this Ordinance shall affect the powers conferred upon Magistrates by The Protection of Women and Girls Ordinance, 1889.

80. Whenever any person is accused before a Magistrate of

any indictable offence except the offences specified in the 4th Schedule hereto, such Magistrate instead of committing the accused for trial before the Court, may deal with the case and convict the accused summarily (LXXXIII.) and upon conviction may sentence the accused to be imprisoned for any term not exceeding six months with or without hard labour or to pay a fine not exceeding fifty dollars or to be imprisoned with or without hard labour and to pay a fine for any term and amount not exceeding respectively six months and fifty dollars.

Such Magistrate may also direct that the accused be kept in solitary confinement for any portion of his term of imprisonment not exceeding fourteen days at any one' time and not exceeding one month in the whole.

Such Magistrate may nevertheless if he think fit commit any such accused for trial before the Court.

Provided always, that nothing in this section contained shall affect the provisions of section 83.

81. Where an indictable offence is triable summarily: (1.) The procedure shall, until the Magistrate or Ma- gistrates assume the power to deal with such offence summarily, be the same in all respects as if the offence were to be dealt with throughout as an indictable offence, but when and so soon as the Magistrate or Magistrates assume the power to deal with such offence summarily, the pro- cedure shall be the same from and after that period as if the offence were an offence punish- able on summary conviction and not on informa- tion, and the provisions of this Ordinance re- lating to offences punishable on summary con- viction shall apply accordingly; and

(2.) The evidence of any witness taken before the Magistrate or Magistrates shall have assumed the said power, need not be taken again, but every such witness shall, if the defendant so require it, be recalled for the purpose of cross- examination; and

(3.) The conviction (LXXXIII.) for any such offence shall be of the same effect as a conviction for the offence on information before the Court, and the Magistrate or Magistrates may make the like order for the restitution of property (XXXVIII.) as might have been made by the Court before whom the person convicted would have been tried if he had been tried on information, and (4.) The order of dismissal (LXXXIV.) shall be filed by the Magistrate's clerk in like manner as the conviction is hereby required to be filed, and together with the order of dismissal or the conviction, as the case may be, there shall be filed by such clerk in each case the. written charge, the depositions of the witnesses, and the statement, if any, of the accused.

82. In all proceedings before two Magistrates sitting together upon any information and complaint as aforesaid it shall be lawful for one Magistrate to receive such inform- ation and complaint, and to grant a summons or warrant to compel the attendance of any witnesses, and to do all other necessary acts and matters preliminary to the hear- ing, even in cases where by the Ordinance or Statute in that behalf such information and complaint must be heard and determined by two Magistrates sitting together, and after the case shall have been so heard and determined one Magistrate may issue all warrants of distress or commit- ment thereon: Provided always, that in all cases where any such complaint or information is heard and determined by two Magistrates, or a conviction or order is made by two Magistrates, such Magistrates must be present and acting together during the whole of the hearing and deter- mination of the case.
