Honourable O. D. Brisbane : A receipt must be issued.
 Honourable Acting Crown Attorney: "On payment of such money no
further proceeding shall be taken against such person "; he should not have to
produce a receipt.
 Superintendent of Works : How can it be proved that he has it?
 Honourable Acting Crown Attorney : If you say the man has to produce a
receipt before further proceedings can be stopped, it is a different thing.
 Honourable O. D. Brisbane : Suppose a man lost his receipt !
 Honourable Acting Crown Attorney : If you said he must produce his receipt
it means he can be prosecuted again.
 Honourable W. A. Hadley : But he ought to get a receipt.
 Honourable Acting Crown Attorney : It is up to the man to ask for his
receipt.
 Honourable W. A. Hadley: It may not be paid to the Chairman himself.
 Honourable Member for Kingstown : I think we can leave it as it is.
 Superintendent of Works : The point is the -Chairman might not be present
 at the transaction.
 Honourable Acting Crown Attorney : But it must be paid to the Chairman
 for it is a matter of compounding a felony.
 Honourable O. D. Brisbane : His Office cannot accept it?
 Honourable Acting Crown Attorney : Not in this case; if they did that they
 could be prosecuted.
 Honourable O. D. Brisbane: If the man does not have the money at the
 moment and when he comes back the Chairman is not there and that money is
 left at the office of the Chairman, what would happen?
 Honourable Acting Crown Attorney : I would take that clerk to the Court.
 Honourable O. D. Brisbane : That m'an may never see the Chairman. It
 could be paid into the office and a receipt given.
 Honourable Acting Crown Attorney : It is not to be paid to the office at all;
 that would be highly dangerous. The power to compound rests with the Chairman
 alone, not his clerk.
 President : That brings us back to subsection (2) of putting in the official
 receipt.
 Honourable Acting Crown Attorney : On receipt of such sum as
 compensation the Chairman would issue a receipt.
 President: What is the feeling of the Council on this matter? Is it that
 you wish a definite receipt to be issued by the Chairman?
 Honourable O. D. Brisbane : Yes; I would like some proof of payment.
 Honourable Member for Kingstown : Does that make it compulsory for the
 man to produce this receipt in Court?
 Honourable Acting Crown Attorney : He can say he has paid, but he may not
 be believed unless he shows the receipt.
 President : Is it agreed that we want a receipt issued and we leave it to the
 Crown Attorney to redraft it in order to make provision for a receipt to be issued?
 Members: Agreed.
