Power of

other courts

to remit juvenile offenders

to juvenile courts.

(4) Any sums ordered under this section, or on forfeiture of any such security as aforesaid, to be paid by a parent or guardian may be recovered from him by distress or imprisonment in like manner

if the order had been made on the conviction of the parent or guardian of the offence with which the child or young person was charged.

(5) A parent or guardian may appeal against an order under this section-

(a) if made by a court of summary jurisdiction, to

a court of quarter sessions; and

(b) if made by a court of assize or a court of quarter sessions, to the Court of Criminal Appeal in accordance with the Criminal Appeal Act, 1907, as if the parent or guardian against whom the order was made had been convicted on indict- ment, and the order were a sentence passed on his conviction.

56.-(1) Any court by or before which a child or young person is found guilty of an offence other than homicide, may, if it thinks fit, remit the case to a juvenile court acting for the place where the offender was committed for trial, or, if he was not committed for trial, to a juvenile court acting either for the same place as the remitting court or for the place where the offender resides; and, where any such case is so remitted, the offender shall be brought before a juvenile court accordingly, and that court may deal with him in any way in which it might have dealt with him if he had been tried and found guilty by that court.

(2) No appeal shall lie against an order of remission made under the last foregoing subsection, but nothing in this subsection shall affect any right of appeal against the verdict or finding on which such an order is founded, and a person aggrieved by the order of the juvenile court to which the case is remitted may appeal therefrom to quarter sessions as if he had been tried by, and had pleaded guilty before, the juvenile court.
