976 APPENDIX TO BRITISH CASE. 



(2.) Any fine or compensation adjudged under this Act may be 

 recovered in the ordinary way, or, if the Court think fit so to order, by 

 distress or poinding and sale of the sea-fishing boat to which the 

 offender belongs, and her tackle, apparel, and furniture and any prop- 

 erty on board thereof or belonging thereto, or any part thereof; pro- 

 vided that, where the boat is a foreign sea-fishing boat, the Court may 

 order that in lieu of any such distress the boat may be detained in 

 some port in the British Islands for a period not exceeding three 

 months from the date of the conviction, and the boat may be detained 

 accordingly, and in such case shall not be distrained. 



21. (1.) The Court adjudging any fine or forfeiture under this Act 

 may, if it think fit, direct the whole or any part thereof to be applied 

 in or towards payment of the expenses of the proceedings ; and. sub- 

 ject to such direction, all fines and the proceeds of all forfeitures 

 recovered under this Act shall, notwithstanding any thing in any Act 

 relating to municipal corporations or otherwise, be paid into the 

 Exchequer in such manner as the commissioners of the Treasury may 

 direct. 



(2.) Forfeitures may be destroyed, sold, and disposed of as the 

 Court adjudging the forfeiture may direct. 



22. (1.) Nothing in this Act shall prevent any person being liable 

 under any other Act or otherwise to any indictment, proceeding, pun- 

 ishment, or penalty, other than is provided for any offence by this 

 Act, so that no person be punished twice for the same offence. 



(2.) Nothing in this Act, or in any Order in Council made there- 

 under, nor any proceedings under such Act or Order with respect to 

 any matter, shall alter the liability of any person in any action or suit 

 with reference to the same matter, so that no person shall be required 

 to pay compensation twice in respect to the same injury.
