No. 9 of 1899.
CRIMINAL PROCEDURE.
(3) The court or a judge shall have power to reduce or remit any fine or forfeiture imposed by the court, or incurred by any person in respect of the court, at any time within three months after such fine or forfeiture has been imposed or incurred, provided such fine or forfeiture has not been already paid or satisfied.
Power to grant conditional pardon.
104. A magistrate or the court may, with the consent in writing of the Attorney General, order that a pardon be granted to any person accused or suspected of, or committed for trial for, any indictable offence, on condition of his giving full and true evidence on any preliminary inquiry or any trial; and such order shall have effect as a pardon by the Governor, but may be withdrawn by the magistrate or the court on proof that such person has withheld evidence or given false evidence.
Effect of pardon.
c. 28, s. 13.
105. In every case where either a free or conditional pardon is granted to any person, the discharge of the offender in the case of a free pardon, and the performance of the condition, in the case of a conditional pardon, shall have the same effect as a pardon has in the like cases under the public seal.
Recording of pardon.
Saving of prerogative of mercy.
106. (1) Whenever the Governor, in the name and on behalf of His Majesty, is pleased to grant to any offender a pardon under the public seal or to issue any warrant for the commutation of any sentence of death, the Registrar shall be bound, on the direction of the Governor, to record such pardon or warrant in the book to be kept by him for that purpose, and to indorse such pardon or warrant with the word "Recorded" and with his signature.
(2) Every such pardon and warrant shall be valid and effectual for all purposes whatsoever, and it shall be the duty of all courts, judges, magistrates, officers, and others, on production thereof, to take notice of and to give effect to the same.
107. Subject as hereinbefore provided, nothing in this Ordinance shall affect His Majesty's prerogative of mercy or any prerogative of mercy vested in the Governor.
