902 PROCEEDINGS OF SECTION G. 
“ A person under the age of 14 years is not criminally respon- 
sible for an act or omission, unless it is proved that at the time 
of doing the act or making the omission he had capacity to know 
that he ought not to do the act or make the omission.” 
‘ JUDICIAL OFFICERS. 
“© 32. Except as expressly provided by this code, a judicial 
officer is not criminally responsible for anything done or omitted 
to be done by him in the exercise of his judicial functions, 
although the act done is in excess of his judicial authority, or 
although he is bound to do the act omitted to be done. 
‘6 JUSTIFICATION AND EXCUSE: COMPULSION. 
“ 33. A person is not criminally responsible for an act or 
omission, if he does or omits to do the act under any of the fol- 
lowing circumstances, that is to say— 
(1) In execution of the law ; 
*©(2) In obedience to the order of a competent authority which 
P y : 
he is bound by law to obey, unless the order is mani- 
festly unlawful ; 
‘“©(3) When the act is reasonably necessary in order to resist 
actual and unlawful violence threatened to him, or in 
his presence to another person who is under his imme- 
diate care, or to whom he stands in a conjugal, 
parental, filial, or fraternal relation, or in the relation 
of master or servant ; 
(4) When he does or omits to do the act in order to save 
himself from immediate death or grievous bodily 
harm threatened to be inflicted upon him by some 
person actually present and in a position to execute 
the threats, and believing himself to be unable other- 
wise to escape the carrying of the threats into execu- 
tion : 
But this protection does not extend to an act or 
omission which would constitute an offence punish- 
able with death, or an offence of which actual danger 
to the life or grievous bodily harm to the person of 
another, or an intention to cause such danger or 
harm, is an element, nor to a person who has by 
entering into an unlawfnl association or conspiracy 
rendered himself liable to have such threats made to 
him. 
‘Whether an order is or is not manifestly unlawful is a question 
of law,
