HC Deb 22 May 1912 vol 38 c1930
Mr. HUNT

asked whether, in the event of a Territorial who had failed to attend camp being fined for the offence, what punishment could be inflicted on him if he was unable to pay or refused to pay any fine imposed?

Mr. GULLAND

In such a case the magistrates can inflict imprisonment for periods varying with the amount of the fine, but not exceeding one month in any case.

Mr. HUNT

If they fine a man and he does not pay, can they distrain or make him pay in any way?

Mr. GULLAND

They can inflict imprisonment.

Mr. HUNT

They cannot make him pay then.
