(V13) 1 CLR 10
1927 June 22
[BELCHER, C.J. AND DICKINSON, P.J.]
POLICE
v.
ARAKLIDES HARALAMBO.
LAW 2 OF 1878, SECTIONS 64 (1), 66, 67, 68 69 AND 78.
CASE stated by Magisterial Court.
The question for the decision of this Court was whether the compensation ordered by a Magisterial Court to be paid in respect of injury done to properties by animals should be made payable direct to the owner of the damaged property or to the Police Group Commander under Section 68 of Law 2 of 1878, to be disposed of by him in accordance with the provision contained in Section 78 of the same Law, i.e., that 15 per cent out of the amount awarded by the Court should be paid to the Rural Police Fund, and the balance to the owner.
HELD: The whole of the compensation awarded is properly payable direct to the owner for his own use and not to the Police Group Commander.
Where compensation is awarded in criminal proceedings under Section 64 (1) of this Law there is no provision for payment to the Police Group Commander.
