I have examined the accompanying Ordinonce, entitled
An Ordinance further to amend the Magistrates Ordinance, 1890

the Governor's Instructions
--
Section 4 of this Ordinance provides that where an
accused has been committed for trial between the tenth and eighteen
-th days of any month inclusive he shall be tried at the Criminal

Crown Solicitor time to prepare the cases for the Sessions.

order youths convicted in the cases only of simple larceny, assault
Occasioning actual bodily harm and indecent assault to be whipped
