PARLIAMENTARY DOCUMENTS DEPOSIT ACT 1837 - SECT 3

Clerks of district councils &c. for every omission to comply with the provisions of this Act, shall be liable to a penalty of #5 to be recovered in a summary way.

3. In case any [clerk of a district council], ..., or other person shall in
any matter or thing refuse or neglect to comply with any of the provisions
herein-before contained, every [clerk], ..., or other person shall for every
such offence forfeit and pay any sum not exceeding the sum of five pounds; and
every such penalty shall, upon proof of the offence before any justice of the
peace for the county within which such offence shall be committed, or by the
confession of the party offending, or by the oath of any credible witness, be
levied and recovered, together with the costs of the proceedings for the
recovery thereof, by distress and sale of the goods and effects of the party
offending, by warrant under the hand of such justice, which warrant such
justice is hereby empowered to grant, and shall be paid to the person or
persons making such complaint; and it shall be lawful for any such justice of
the peace, to whom any complaint shall be made of any offence committed
against this Act, to summon the party complained of before him, and on such
summons to hear and determine the matter of such complaint in a summary way,
and on proof of the offence to convict the offender, and to adjudge him to pay
the penalty or forfeiture incurred, and to proceed to recover the same,
although no information in writing or in print shall have been exhibited or
taken by or before such justice; and all such proceedings by summons without
information shall be as good, valid, and effectual to all intents and
purposes, as if an information in writing had been exhibited.
