Regulations for Criminal Prosecutions and other
Legal Business.

Department of Justice,
Wellington, 17th October, 1882.

REGULATIONS respecting the employment of
solicitors on behalf of the Crown or any de-
partment of the Government in respect of ordinary
legal business, and for regulating the fees to be paid
to counsel therein, and generally for the conduct of
such business.

These regulations are issued in lieu of those now in
force, and shall take effect from and after the first
day of January next, from which date all former
regulations on the subject shall be revoked.

PART I.—CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS.
(1.) Proceedings before Justices and Coroners.

1. Costs will be allowed to solicitors employed by
   the Crown in conducting cases within the summary
   jurisdiction of Justices of the Peace under any Act,
   Ordinance, or other authority, as follows:—
   For each case, including drawing information, pre- £ s. d.
   paring case for hearing, conducting proceedings
   before Justices, and drawing conviction (if so
   required) 2 2 0
   If case lasts beyond three hours, then an additional
   fee may be allowed not exceeding for each hour or
   part of an hour engaged 0 10 0
   Where proceedings extend beyond one day, then for
   each further day or part of a day so employed ex-
   ceeding one hour 2 2 0

2. If there are several cases against the same de-
   fendant or against several defendants in which the
   facts are similar or so nearly similar that one case
   practically decides others, then the fees to be allowed
   shall be such as may be agreed upon between the
   department instructing the proceedings and the
   solicitor employed, either for the whole proceedings
   or for each case.

3. The police will in each case render assistance
   in the service of process, in making inquiries for
   witnesses, and having them ready to be examined when
   required.

4. The above scale will also apply to indictable
   offences upon examination before Justices of the
   Peace and to proceedings before Coroners in cases
   where a solicitor may be instructed to appear in the
   prosecution or at the inquest.
   It will cover all proceedings up to commitment for
   trial (if any), including a general supervision over all
   formal matters necessary to make the case complete.
   Vouchers for costs will be rendered to the depart-
   ment instructing the proceedings by the solicitor
   employed.
