stringent Ordinance of 1858 had
no doubt
its origin from
the arsenic poisoning of 1857 - The Magistrate might have ordered the prisoner to give security for good behaviour not exceeding 12 months under Section XXII of 10 of 1844 and then there would have been no necessity for reporting to the Governor. Suppose the_ Governor does not choose to exercise the
power of deportation then the prisoner should remain in Gaol 3 months.
That
svas
the rule
иер
till recently
and
we have ample precedent, and I think
it is a farce if the Magistrate only - "brutum fulmen" which would
issues a
be the sase
if the prisoner is discharged. I recommend his remaining in bad
pending the finding of security.

Asting Attorney General.
