Damages for assault.
WEI-HAI-WEI ORDER IN COUNCIL.
In all other cases the Court shall admit the accused to bail unless the Court sees good reason to the contrary.
The High Court may admit a person to bail although a Magistrate has not thought fit to do so.
28. The Court may, if it thinks fit, order a person convicted of an assault to pay to the person assaulted, by way of damages, any sum not exceeding 50 dollars.
Damages ordered to be paid may be either in addition to or in lieu of a fine, and shall be recoverable in like manner as a fine.
Where such damages are ordered an action cannot be brought for the assault.
29. The Court may from time to time postpone or adjourn any trial if it considers it necessary to do so in the interests of justice.
Postponement of trial.
Search warrant.
Warrants.
Sentence of death.
Costs of prosecution.
During the postponement or adjournment the accused may be committed to prison for safe custody, or admitted to bail, or suffered to go at large, as the Court thinks fit.
30. Where there is reasonable cause to suspect that anything, by or in respect of which any offence cognizable by the Court has been committed, is in any house or place within the jurisdiction of the Court, the Court may, by a search warrant, authorise an officer of the Court to search the house or place, and if anything searched for be found, to seize it and bring it before the Court for adjudication.
31. A warrant for apprehension or a search warrant may be issued and executed on any day at any time.
32. A sentence of death shall not be carried into effect unless confirmed by the Commissioner.
For this purpose, when the trial has been held by the Judge, he shall transmit his notes, or a copy thereof, and a report on the case to the Commissioner.
The Commissioner may commute the sentence to such punishment as he thinks proper in the circumstances or may pardon the convict.
33. The Court may order a person convicted before it to pay all or a part of the expenses of the prosecution, the amount to be specified in the order.
The Court may, when it thinks a prosecution is vexatious or frivolous, order the complainant to pay all or a part of the expenses of prosecution and of the accused, the amount being specified in the order.
In both cases the Court may order that the whole or such portion as the Court thinks fit of the expenses so paid be paid over to the complainant or the accused, as the case may be.
