SEPARATE

COURTS URGED FOR JUVENILES

Humane Treatment

Singapore urgently needs a spe- elal court to try juvenile offenders. Advocating this is Brigadier H Lord, head of the Salvation Army, whose Remand Home for Boys has made it possible for Juveniles ar- rested by the police to be held in the Home Instead of a police cell or the civil - prison.

"Juveniles

never be should brought to court." & Singapore magistrate once observed. "They have been sumclently punished by being arrested.”

PENALTY CLAUSE

1차

Broadly speaking. the Law Re- form Act of 1934 provided that causes of action survived against executors, but there was a further proviso that, in the case of tort, the cause of action must have arisen within six months of death.

If the penalties in the present case were in respect of tort, the Crown could not succeed because of the time limit.

The Income Tax Act. 1918, under which the penalties became

due, provided that in the case of improper claims for allowances or deductions£20 and treble tax might be forfettedi.

Sir Donald submitted that the

proceedings for the recovery of sach penalties were civil rather than criminal, and that the pen- aities gave ground for a cause of action for debt.

The testator became liable for £1,832 an £1,191 in penalties res- pectively regarding his claims for allowances, and deductions for the years ended April, 1932 and 1933.
