May be apprehended and brought before a Justice; and, being convicted, may be imprisoned for not exceeding 1 month. 1 J. Not to affect proceedings for penalty for acting without licence. It will be seen that the Justices have not power to admit to bail persons charged with treason or of felony under the 11 & 12 Vic. c. 12. In the other cases specified in the section, it is in their discretion; and in any other case of indictable misdemeanour, the accused, as of right, is admitted to bail. The Act quoted is set out in the Appendix; and see also Table of Indictable Offences which follows the Summary Jurisdiction Index. (6) (a) Fees.-In sales of Distress made under the 9 & 10 Vic. c. 111, by Schedule B to said Act, 1s. in the pound to cover all expenses of sale, commission, and delivery. To this extent the person distrained is bound to pay; but he is not to be called on to pay more, either directly or indirectly; and he does pay it indirectly if his goods are sold on the terms that the purchaser is to pay auctioneer's fees, 5 per cent.; and that 5 per cent. is also deducted from the proceeds of the sale. See "Distress." (b) The Justices may require one or more sureties. It is the duty of the Justices to inquire into and ascertain the solvency of the persons tendered as bail; but, having agreed to admit to bail, they ought not to dissuade persons from becoming sureties.-R. v. Saunders (2 Cox, c. 249). Although it is stated that a married woman, or a minor, cannot be bound, but that the recognizance may be entered into by their sureties alone, the Justice will do well not to dispense with their signing the recognizance. The sureties should qualify in double the amount. For form of oath, see the 57 Geo. iii. c. 56; but it will be found printed on the form of recognizance in general use.

(a) "Boycotting."-This term, now employed as a synonyme to express by a word an act of intimidation, coercion, or conspiracy of some unlawful kind, took its name from a Captain Boycott, a landlord and land-agent in the West of Ireland, against whom a species of social interdict issued in 1880. Where crimes or acts of open violence are not committed the offences would generally partake of the nature of those referred to in the Acts above quoted, 38 & 39 Vic. c. 86, s. 17; 24 & 25 Vic. c. 100, s. 39, and other offences against the Peace by threats of injury to persons or property. (a) Bread, Weighing, &c.-A baker was in the habit of weighing out dough for 2lb., 4lb., and 8lb. loaves before putting them into the oven, allowing 5 ozs. for shrinking of a 4lb. loaf, which is the understood weight of a "quartern" loaf, but he did not weigh the loaves afterwards unless required by the customers. A customer bought a "quartern" loaf, and the current price of a 4lb. loaf was asked and paid; he did not require to have the loaf weighed, and it never was weighed after it was baked; it turned out 2 ozs. 9 drachms short of 4lbs.; held, that the baker was rightly convicted. (Jones v. Huxtable, L. R., 2 Q. B., 460; 8 B. & S., 433; 16 L. T. N. S., 381; 36 L. I. M. C., 122; 31 J. P., 534; and see Williams v. Deggan, 16 L. T. N. S., 492; 31 J. P., 807; and Milton v. Troke, 20 L. T. N. S., 563; 33 J. P., 821.) A baker was in the habit of selling loaves of bread at 6d., varying the weight of the loaf with the price of corn, when he proposed to sell a 3lb. for 6d.; his custom was to put into the oven 4 lbs. of dough, but the loaf was not weighed after baking.
