in respect of a suspended sentence which take place

(4) Where a court deals with an offender under

this section in respect of a suspended sentence the

clerk of the court shall notify the clerk of the

court which passed the sentence of the method adopted.

(5) Where on consideration of the case of an

offender a court makes no order with respect to a

suspended sentence, the clerk of the court shall

record that fact.
