accompramed you Despatch No. 60 of the 8th of
March last.
2. I am not,
however, thoroughly satisfied
as
to the advisability of the
provision made in this
Ordinance for the repeal of
section 7 of Cadurance No.
Z
of 1869.
I understand
that the
offences specified
in that section
are
not
legally punishable exceft
as
only
therein provided, saving
ume of Indecent
the creme of
Exposure of the Person, which
affears to be punishable
with
a
fine under Ordinance No. 14 of 1845. 41845.
387
3. The repeal of the
section in question will
therefore presumably, bring
those offences under section
5 of the Ordeiance under
as misdemeanours
consideration, as
at
common law for which punishment is provided
by any
amony
Actor Ordinance.
4. Tobserve that
these misdemeanous
are included Conspiracy
to cheat or desfrand,
or to
extort Money or Goods, o falsely to accuse
of any
Cume! It affears to
wadiriable to confine the
mas
can
semuin penalty
which
be miflicted for these
