Justices may require any of the persons apprehended to be sworn and give evidence. 5. It shall be lawful for the justices before whom any persons shall be brought who have been found in any house, room, or place entered in pursuance of any authority granted under the provisions of the Gaming Act, 1845, to require any of such persons to be examined on oath and give evidence touching any unlawful gaming in such house, room, or place, or touching any act done for the purpose of preventing, obstructing, or delaying the entry into such house, room, or place, or any part thereof, of any constable or officer authorized as aforesaid; and no person so required to be examined as a witness shall be excused from being so examined when brought before such justices as aforesaid, or from being so examined at any subsequent time by or before the same or any other justices, or by or before any court, on any proceeding or the trial of any indictment, information, action, or suit in anywise relating to such unlawful gaming or any such acts as aforesaid, or from answering any question put to him touching the matters aforesaid, on the ground that his evidence will tend to criminate himself; and any such person so required to be examined as a witness who refuses to make oath accordingly, or to answer any such question as aforesaid, shall be subject to be dealt with in all respects as any person appearing as a witness before any justices or court in obedience to a summons or subp-na, and refusing, without lawful cause or excuse, to be sworn or to give evidence, may by law be dealt with.
