(o). Conspiracy to swindle and impose upon the ignorant residents in this Colony and sometimes new comers to this Colony with the assistance of touts by such means as to intimidate them into parting with their personal interests, or to coach them in dodging the law so as to share in their ill-gotten gains.
Countenancing robbers and smugglers by advising them as to how to baffle the law in order to obtain briefs for their employers, for which they are paid the same commission of 10 to 20% as in the other cases by their employers.
