Schedule 9, page 52, line 44, at end insert—
. Where a person convicted by a magistrates' court appeals to quarter sessions
1037
against conviction or sentence and quarter sessions makes an order as to costs to be paid by the respondent to the appellant.
§ THE LORD CHANCELLORMy Lords, I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 61. Part II of Schedule 9 is intended to list all instances in which costs, compensation, and so on, may be ordered by a court to be paid by a person other than a convicted person. An order for such costs, compensation, et cetera, is enforceable, under Clause 36(2), as if it were for the payment of money recoverable summarily as a civil debt. The case in which a person convicted in a magistrates' court succeeds in his appeal to quarter sessions and is awarded costs against the prosecutor was inadvertently omitted from Part II of Schedule 9, and this Amendment corrects that error.
§ Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.—[The Lord Chancellor.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
