BRITISH DOMINIONS BEYOND THE SEAS

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 80 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BRI-BUN
BRITISH DOMINIONS BEYOND THE SEAS .The legislation of British possessions as to
summary
 
jurisdiction
  follows the lines of
English
  legislation, but, and especially in crown colonies, there is a disposition to dispense with the jury more than under
English
 
procedure
 , and in most colonies stipendiary magistrates are more freely employed than unpaid justices of the peace (see British
Guiana
 , Ord. No. to of 1893). Many of the colonial criminal codes include a number of offences punishable on
summary
  conviction. The
procedure
  closely follows English models, but has in many cases been consolidated and simplified (e.g. Victoria, Justices Act 1890, No. 1105; British
Guiana
 , Ord. No. 12 of 1893). In many colonies stipendiaries and justices of the peace exercise civil
jurisdiction
  as to matters dealt with in England by the county
court
  (e.g. British Guiana, Ord. No. tt of 1893).
