8. That every summons issued under the authority of this act may be served by delivering a copy of the summons to the party, or by delivering a copy of the summons to some inmate at such party's usual place of abode, and every person so required, by any writing under the hand or hands of any justice or justices, to attend and give evidence as aforesaid, shall be deemed to have been duly summoned.

9. That the justices before whom any person shall be summarily convicted of any such offence as hereinbefore mentioned may cause the conviction to be drawn up in the form of words set forth in the schedule to this act annexed, or in any other form of words to the same effect, which conviction shall be good and effectual to all intents and purposes.

10. That no such conviction shall be quashed for want of form, or be removed by certiorari or otherwise into any of her Majesty's superior courts of record; and no warrant of commitment shall be held void by reason of any defect therein, provided it be therein alleged that the party has been convicted, and there be a good and valid conviction to sustain the

same.

11. That the justices of the peace before whom any person shall be convicted under the provisions of this act shall forthwith thereafter transmit the conviction and recognizances to the clerk of the peace for the county, borough, liberty, or place wherein the offence shall have been committed, there to be kept by the proper officer among the records of the court of general quarter sessions of the peace; and the said clerk of the peace shall transmit to one of her Majesty's principal Secretaries of State a monthly return of the names, offences, and punishments mentioned in the convictions, with such other particulars as may from time to time be required.

12. That no conviction under the authority of this act shall be attended with any forfeiture, but whenever any person shall be deemed guilty under the provisions of this act, it shall be lawful for the presiding justices to order restitution of the property in respect of which such offence shall have been committed to the owner thereof or his representatives, and if such property shall not then be forthcoming, the same justices, whether they award punishment or dismiss the complaint,

may inquire into and ascertain the value thereof in money, and if they think proper order payment of such sum of money to the true owner, by the person or persons convicted, either at one time or by instalments at such periods as the Court may deem reasonable, and the party or parties so ordered to pay shall be liable to be sued for the same as a debt in any court in which debts may be by law recovered, with costs of suit, according to the practice of such court.

13. That whenever any justices of the peace shall adjudge any offender to forfeit and pay a pecuniary penalty under the authority of this act, and such penalty shall not be forthwith paid, it shall be lawful for such justices, if they shall deem it expedient, to appoint some future day for the payment of such penalty, and to order the offender to be detained in safe custody until the day so to be appointed, unless such offender shall give security to the satisfaction of such justices for his or her appearance on such day; and such justices are hereby empowered to take such security by way of recognizance or such penalty shall not be paid, it shall be lawful for the same otherwise, at their discretion; and if at the time so appointed or any other justices of the peace, by warrant under their hands and seals, to commit the offender to the common gaol or house of correction within their jurisdiction, there to remain for any time not exceeding three calendar months, reckoned from the day of such adjudication, such imprisonment to cease on payment of the said penalty.

14. That the justices in petty sessions assembled as aforesaid, before whom any person shall be prosecuted or tried for any offence cognisable under this act, are hereby authorised and empowered, at their discretion, at the request of the prosecutor or of any other person who shall appear on recognisance or summons to prosecute or give evidence against any person accused of any such offence, to order payment to the prosecutor and witnesses for the prosecution of such sums of money as to the justices shall seem reasonable and sufficient to reimburse such prosecutor and witnesses for the expenses they shall have severally incurred in attending before the examining magis. trate, and in otherwise carrying on such prosecution, and also to compensate them for their trouble and loss of time therein, and to order payment to the constables and other peace officers for the apprehension and detention of any person or persons so charged; and although no conviction shall actually take place, it shall be lawful for the said justices to order all or any of the payments aforesaid when they shall be of opinion that the parties or any of them have acted bonâ fide; and the amount of expenses of attending before the examining magistrate, and the compensation for trouble and loss of time therein, and the allowances to the constables and other peace officers for the apprehension and detention of the offender, and the allowances to be paid to the prosecutor, witnesses, and constables for attending at the said petty sessions, shall be ascertained by and certified under the hands of the justices in such petty session assembled as aforesaid: Provided always, that the amount of the costs, charges, and expenses attending any such prosecution, to be allowed and paid as aforesaid, shall not in any one shall be allowed to prosecutors, witnesses, and constables excase exceed the sum of 40s.: Provided also, that no expenses lowances authorised and settled by the justices of the peace at ceeding the sums allowed, according to a scale of fees and alquarter sessions assembled, according to the statute in such case made and provided with respect to preliminary inquiries before justices of the peace in cases of felony.

15. That every such order of payment to any prosecutor or other person, after the amount thereof shall have been certified by the justices as aforesaid, shall be forthwith made out and delivered by the clerk of the said petty session unto such prosecutor or other person, upon such clerk being paid for the same the sum of 6d. for every such person, and no more, and, except in cases hereinafter provided for, shall be made upon the treasurer of the county, riding, or division in which the offence shall have been committed, or shall be supposed to have been committed, who is hereby authorised and required, upon sight of every such order, forthwith to pay to the person named therein, or to any other person duly authorised to receive the same on his or her behalf, the money in such order mentioned, and shall be allowed the same in his accounts: Provided always, that no such order shall be valid, nor shall such treasurer pay any money thereon, unless it shall have been framed and presented in such form and under such regulations as the justices of the peace in quarter sessions assembled shall from time to time direct.

16. And whereas offences cognisable under this act may be committed in liberties, franchises, cities, towns, and places which do not contribute to the payment of any county rate, some of which raise a rate in the nature of a county rate, and others have neither any such rate nor any fund applicable to similar purposes, and it is just that such liberties, franchises, cities, towns, and places should be charged with all costs, expenses, and compensations ordered by virtue of this act in respect of such offences as aforesaid committed or supposed to have been committed therein respectively; be it therefore enacted, That all sums directed to be paid by virtue of this act in respect of such offences as aforesaid committed or supposed to have been committed in such liberties, franchises, cities, towns, and places shall be paid out of the rate in the nature of a county rate, or out of any fund applicable to similar purposes, where there is such a rate or fund, by the treasurer or other officer having the collection or disbursement of such rate or fund, and where there is no such rate or fund in such liberties, franchises, cities, towns, or places, shall be paid out of the rate or fund for the relief of the poor of the parish or township, district or precinct therein, where the offence was committed or supposed to have been committed, by the overseers or other officers having the collection or disbursement of such last-mentioned rate or fund; and the order of Court shall in every such case be directed to such treasurer, overseers, or other officers respectively, instead of the treasurer of the county, riding, or division, as the case may require.

17. And for the protection of persons acting in the execution of this act, be it enacted, that all actions and prosecutions to be commenced against any person for anything done in pursuance of this act shall be laid and tried in the county where the fact was committed, and shall be commenced within three calendar months after the fact committed, and not otherwise; and notice in writing of such action or prosecution, and of the cause thereof, shall be given to the defendant one calendar month at least before the commencement of the action or prosecution; and in any such action or prosecution the defendant may plead the general issue, and give this act and the special matter in evidence, at any trial to be had thereupon; and no plaintiff shall recover in any such action if tender of sufficient amends shall have been made before such action brought, or if a sufficient sum of money shall have been paid into court after such action brought by or on behalf of the defendant; and if a verdict shall pass for the defendant, or the plaintiff shall become nonsuit, or discontinue any such action or prosecution after issue joined, or if, upon demurrer or otherwise, judgment shall be given against the plaintiff, the defendant shall recover his full costs as between attorney and client, and have the like remedy for the same as any defendant hath by law in other cases; and though a verdict shall be given for the plaintiff in such action, the plaintiff shall not have costs against the defendant, unless the judge before whom the trial shall be shall certify his approbation of the action and of the verdict obtained thereupon.

18. That nothing in this act contained shall extend to Scotland or Ireland.

19. That this act may be amended or repealed by any act to passed in this session of Parliament.
