I. WHEREAS it is advisable that the Governor-General in Council should
be regularly informed of any offences of a criminal nature committed by
European British subjects residing in the interior of the country; And
whereas it has been deemed expedient to modify certain parts of the pro-
visions contained in Clauses Second and Third, Section II. Regulation II.
1796 ; and in Clauses Second and Third, Section XIX. Regulation VI.
1803 ; and also of the rule contained in Section VII. Regulation V. 179t);
the following rules have been enacted, to be in force from the period of
their promulgation throughout the territories subject to the immediate
government of the presidency of Fort William.
II. Whenever azillah or city magistrate who shall have taken the oaths
of qualification as a justice of the peace shall hold any British European
subject to bail, or shall deem it necessary to commit any such person to
the gaol of Calcutta, to take his trial before the Supreme Court of Judi-
cature for any offence of a criminal nature, the magistrate shall transmit
the original depositions taken on the occasion (together with translations
of any papers not being in the English language) to the clerk of the Crown.
The magistrate shall likewise transmit copies of the said depositions (toge-
ther with translations of any papers not being in the English language) to
the secretary to the Government in the judicial department, for the
information of the Governor-General in Council; who, in cases in which
he shall consider it to be necessary, from the aggravated nature of the
offence charged against the person accused, or on any other substantial
ground, will order the prosecution to be conducted by the law officers of
Government and at the public expense.
