DRAFT

AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE CRIMINAL LAW AMENDMENT ORDINANCE (No. 2), 1927. BE IT ENACTED by the High Commissioner for Palestine, with the advice of the Advisory Council thereof :-

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Criminal Law Amend- ment Ordinance, 1936, and the Criminal Law Amendment Ordinance, (No. 2), 1927, (hereinafter referred to as the principal Ordinance) and this Ordinance may together be cited as the Crim- inal Law Amendment Ordinances, 1927-1936.

2. Section 9 of the principal Ordinance is hereby amended by the substitution for the proviso thereto of the following proviso :-

"Provided that no person shall be punished for an attempt to commit an offence punishable with imprisonment for not more than a week or, if with fine only, with a fine not exceeding five pounds.

Short title.

Amendment of section 9 of the principal Ordinance.

OBJECTS AND REASONS.

Section 9 of the Criminal Law Amendment Ordinance, (No. 2), 1927, contains a proviso that no person shall be punished for an attempt to commit an offence triable by a magistrate unless otherwise expressly provided. In view of the exten- sion of magistrates' jurisdiction under the Magistrates' Courts Jurisdiction Ordi- nance, 1935, it is desirable that the proviso shall no longer extend to all offences which may now be tried by magistrates, and the present Ordinance makes the necessary amendment to the proviso, in accordance with the provisions of clauses 5 and 28 of the Draft Criminal Code (which was published as a Bill in the Gazette of the 6th June, 1933). Upon the promulgation of the Code, this Ordinance will cease to have effect.

30th January, 1936.
