* If a person is prosecuted on two or more occasions in a year, he will be recorded once for each occasion; on the other hand, if a person
is prosecuted on the same occasion for more than one offence, only the principal offence will be taken for tabulation. + Excessive multiple counts often arise from these two offences.
