Section 4. This section extends the power of imposing whipping in the case of a youth under sixteen. The object is to substitute whipping in cases other than those already authorised and so avoid imposing imprisonment where the age of the youth renders it undesirable.

Section 5. Having regard to section 60 of the Magistrates Ordinance 1890, which empowers a fine to be imposed in indictable cases, it has been suggested that the phraseology of the Stocks Punishment Limitation Ordinance 1867 is ambiguous. This amendment proposes to place the question beyond doubt and it describes by schedule the offences which are exempted from the punishment of stocks.

Section 6. This section provides safeguards in the interests of a person ordered to pay compensation by a Magistrate for malicious prosecution or false testimony, and it makes also provision for enforcing the order.

Section 7. Restricts noisy trades carried on by the Lessees of Crown Lands. It has been found that such a nuisance in certain places is unchecked and the power of forfeiture contained in the Crown Leases is deemed insufficient to stop it.
