SECTION XVIII.

MISCELLANEOUS OFFENCES,

Children (Employment Abroad) Act, 1913.

1. Children under 14 years of age are absolutely prohibited by this Act from being sent abroad for the purpose of singing, playing, per- forming, or being exhibited, for profit; and a young person between 14 and 16 cannot be sent abroad for this purpose without a licence granted by a Police Magistrate at Bow Street Police Court.

2. An applicant for a licence, or for the renewal of a licence, must, at least seven days before making application to the Magistrate, inform the chief officer of Police for the district in which the young person resides or resided, and give him a copy of the contract of employment or other document showing the terms and conditions of

mployment.

3. On receiving such a notice the Chief Constable is required by section 2 (3) of the Act to send the copy of the contract or other document to the Chief Magistrate at Bow Street, and he should at once make careful inquiry into the circumstances of the case, and report to the Chief Magistrate any reasons there may be for or against the grant of the licence. The Regulations under the Act, which are reprinted on page 62, will suggest some of the facts (e.g., date of birth and nationality) which should be mentioned in the report. In most cases a written report will suffice, but if he thinks it desirable it is open to him to attend or to be represented before the Chief Magistrate. 4. The Chief Constable should also, as soon as he receives notice of an intended application for a licence, inform the local Education Authority in order that they may have an opportunity of informing him of their views, or of submitting representations to the Magistrate direct.

5. If any offence against the Act comes to notice, proceedings should at once be taken against the offender in the absence of reasons to the contrary. Attention is particularly called to Section 3 (3) (limitation of time) and to Section 3 (4) (evidence of wife or husband of the accused).

6. Section 1 (2) provides for the care of a child or young person when an offence against the Act has been or is about to be committed. A constable or any person authorised by a Justice is empowered to take to a place of safety any such child or young person, and the pro- visions of Section 20 of the Children Act, 1908, will apply as if the offence were an offence mentioned in the first schedule to that Act.

Dentists Acts.

7. It is an offence against Section 1 of the Dentists Act, 1921, for any person who is not registered under the Dentists Act, 1878 (with certain exceptions set out in the section). to practice, or hold himself out as practising, dentistry. Under Section 14 of the Act the practice of dentistry includes "the performance of any such operation and the
