V. Procedure
§38

Penalty raised
the two heads of delinquency cases which of delinquency As for precedent, the two masses of delinquency, which
seem to come nearest to those in here proposed
to be created, are that of an offence against those which regard
the Alehouse-licencing system, and (under the 5.G.3
