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
