Objects and Reasons.
Under the Compounding of Offences Laws, 1901 and
1926, Commissioners may compound offences relating to
unlawful gathering of oUves or carobs and to unlawful
damage caused to roads.

of other minor offences the compounding of which might,
with advantage to aU concemed, be entrusted to Commissioners.
3. The main object, therefore, of this Law is to enlarge
the powers of Commissioners in that respect by enabUng
them to compound any of the offences set out in the
Schedule to the Law.
4. Section 2 (3) gives additional power to Commissioners
to require the forfeiture of animals or goods, or such part
thereof as the Commissioner exercising the power may think
fit, where such forfeiture would have foUowed upon the
conviction of the offender.
5. Section 6 empowers the Governor in CouncU to make
compoundable any offence punishable with imprisonment
not exceeding six months or with a fine not exceeding
twenty-five
