Application of Penalties, &c.
The sums recovered for penalties, &c, belong to the C. R. F., but any portions of them may be applied, by the L.G. in C to payment of costs and expenses. When the Inspector sues and recovers, after payment of costs, one-fourth goes to him, one-fourth to the informer and one-half to the Government. But in Montreal only $15 goes to the Inspector and $15 to the informer. If the Municipality or an informant prosecutes, half goes to the presecutor, and half to the Prov Treas. Payment in all instances is, in the first place to the Inspector. No fine can be; remitted except by authority of the L. G. in C.
The Clerks of Courts before which such convictions are held must make semi-annual returns in April and October of each year to the Prov. Treas. under a penalty of $1.00 perday for neglect All proceedings against auctioneers or pawnbrokers, or against Inspectors for official acts, must be brought within 6 mos. Inspectors must publish annually (or more frequently if ordered) a list of licenses granted by them. With the approval of the Prov Treas, license inspectors may appoint deputies. The L G. in C. may grant any of them $100 per an. for travelling expenses The Prov. Treas. is authorized to have the revenue laws collected and printed in a separate pamphlet.
