     summary manner, and to pronounce judgment and 
     
     award damages and costs for the non-performance 
     
     of such contracts and bargains where the amount in 
     
     question does not exceed the sum of shillings, 
     
     and issue immediate execution unless security be

     present Majesty, intituled “An Act to extend the 
     
     criminal jurisdiction of the Police Court, in the City 
     
     of Charlottetown,” has been attended with beneficial 
     
     effect in the repression of crime, and in the saving 
     
     of expense in the prosecution of offences of that na— 
     
     ture, by indictment in the Supreme Court, as re- 
     
    
   
   
    
     spects the time and pay of Jurors, the service of 
     
    
   
   
    
     subpoenas, and the attendance and pay of Witnesses, 
     
     it is considered expedient to further extend the said 
     
     criminal jurisdiction at the said Court, therefore the 
     
     provisions of the said Act are hereby extended to 
     
     the trial and punishment of persons accused of lar- 
     
     cenies or the receiving of stolen goods where the 
     
     value of the goods taken or received shall not ex- 
     
     ceed the sum of pounds, and to punish by fine 
     
     not exceeding pounds, or by imprisonment, with 
     
     or without hard labor, for a period not exceeding 
     
    

    
     months. The said Court may also take cogni- 
     
     zance of the silence of receiving or obtaining goods 
     
     or money under false pretences, where the goods or 
     
     money received or obtained shall not exceed 
     
     pounds, the fine, on conviction, not to exceed 
     
     pounds, or the imprisonment with or without hard 
     
     labor, provided always that the accused parties shall 
     
     elect to be tried in the said Police Court.

     be served or levied by the City Marshal or by a 
     
     Deputy duly authorized by him in that part of the 
     
     County where the Defendant may reside ; and in
