enforcing in that action or proceeding, by way of
counterclaim, set off, or otherwise, such rights as he
may have against that party in respect of such contract.

(2) Without prejudice to the power of the Court to
grant such relief as aforesaid, if any proceeding to enforce
any contract is commenced by a defaulter in a Petty Civil
Court, such last named Court may, as respects that contract,
erant such relief as aforesaid.

11. If any statement required to be furnished under this
Orcinance contains any matter which is false in any material
particular to the knowledge of any person signing it, that
person shall be liable to a fine of ninety-six dollars, or to
imprisonment for three months, or to both such fine and
imprisonment.

12. (1) The Registrar may require any person to furnish
him such particulars as he thinks necessary for the
purpose of ascertaining whether or not such person or the
firm of which he is partner should be registered under this
Ordinance, or an alteration made in the registered particu-
lars, and may also, in the case of a corporation, require the
secretary, or any other officer of a corporation performing
the duties of secretary, to furnish such particulars, and if
any person, when so required, fails to supply such particulars
as it is in his power to give, or furnishes particulars which are
false in any material particular, he shall be liable to a fine
of ninety-six dollars, or to imprisonment for three months,
or to both such fine and imprisonment.

(2) If, from any information so furnished, it appears
to the Registrar that any firm or person ought to be regis-
tered under this Ordinance, or an alteration ought to be made
in the registered particulars, the Registrar may require the
firm or person to furnish to him the required particulars
within such time as may be allowed by the Registrar, but,
where any default under this Ordinance has been discovered
from the information acquired under this section, no
proceedings under this Ordinance shall be taken against
any person in respect of such default prior to the expiration
of the time within which the firm or person is required
by the Registrar under this section to furnish particulars
to him.
