instance, Sections 16 and 25.

Section

If/16 applies, apparently Section

21 would apply also, but

I doubt whether it ought

A

to do so. In this connection

I observe that Sections 8

(3) and 31 (1) use the

words "child" and "children",

possibly with the special

intention of including the

youry persons

cases of children/dealt with

under Section 17 of Ordinance

No.1 of 1932. The fact remains,

however, that the definition

of "youthful offenders" already

and young persons children. Sections

includes such children.

9 and 13 use the word "persons".

It seems clear that these Sections

or young persons

cannot apply to children/dealt

with under Section 177 of Ordinance

No.1 of 1932, as the word "sentences"

would hardly be appropriate.

It may be that the words

"detention"
