[ IN THE COURT OP APPEAL.] REX V. LEWIS. (" N. Z. Law Beports," Vol. xxix, page 1208.) Criminal Law — Habitual Criminals — Previous Convictions — Convictions before a Magistrate— The Crimes Act, 1908, Section 29. The previous convictions requisite under section 29 of the Crimes Act, 1908, to enable tbo Court to declare a piisoner an habiiuil criminal need not necessarily be con- victions on indictment, but may be oonvictions before a Magis'rate, so long as they are convictions for the offences mentioned in Classes I or II of the section. So held by the Court of Appeal ( Stout, C. J., and Wil- liams, Edwards, Cooper, and Chapman, JJ.). CASE stated by Edwards, J., for the opinion of the Court of Appeal under sections 442 and 443 of the Crimes Act, 1908. Tlu prisoner was convicted on the 8th of February, 1909, in the Supreme Court at Auckland, upon two indictments chaiging him ( a) with forgery, uttering and attempted false pretences ; ( 6) with theft. The calendar of his convictions showed that lie had been previously convicted four times upon iudictment of offences within Class II as defined by section 29 of the Crimes Act, 1908. These convictions were admitted by the prisoner, and he was, in addition to his term of imprisonment, declared to be an habitual criminal. It afterwards appeared that the calendar was erroneous, and that the prisoner had not been four times convicted upon in- oictment of such offences, but twice upon indictment and twice before a Magistrate. Tne question for the opinion of the Court was whether in the above circumstances the pri- soner had been lawfully declared to be an habitual criminal. The Solicitor- General, for the Crown :— The question is whether the previous convictions under section H9 ( 6) must be convictions on indictment. The of- fences must be such as can be punishable on indictment, but need not necessarily be so punished. Section 29 ( 2) shows that the convictions need not be under the Crimes Act, and convictions on indictment are unknown in many parts of the world— e. g., Australia. Therefore only the nature of the offence is to be ascertained. There is no dis- tinction in principle between summary convictions and con- victions on indictment. The Legislature has under sec- tion 30 intentionally limited the Magistrate's jurisdiction. The prisoner was not represented. Cur. adv. vult. STOUT, C. J.:— The question in this case is as to the meaning of the words in seotion 29, subsection 1 ( 6), of the Crimes Act, 1908. In dealing with habitual criminals and offenders this subsec- tion provides that where such oonviction is in respect of an offence included in Class II, and such person has been previ- ously convicted on at least four occasions of any offence men- tioned in Classes I or II, whether of the same description of offence or not, the Court may, in his discretion, declare . . . such person is an habitual criminal. Class II refers to cer- tain offences, and after the words describing tho offences there appears certain sections of the Crimes Aot: for ex- ample, in describing Class II the following appear— Wound- ing ( sections 195, 197, and 198): theft ( section 247). It appears that this prisoner had been convicted four times, and on two of the occasions he had been convioted before a Magistrate for theft. The question is whether those two offences which were dealt with by the Magistrate and for which he was convicted can be counted as two of Class II. It was first suggested that Class II must only refer to in- diotable offences. To that a reply was made that where the offenoe was indictable, as appears in other seotions of the Act ( as in seotion 30), the words " on indictment" appear with the word " convicted." There is no suoh limitation here. It is true that in the first subseotion of section 29 the words used are " convioted on indictment," but when they 1911.] NEW ZEALAND POLICE OAZKTTE. 101 come to deal with the class of offence of whioh the prisoner had previously been convicted the words " on indictment" are left out. It was also pointed out that subsection 2 of section 29 shows that the sections quoted in ihe definition of the offences under Class II were only to be used for the purpose of showing the class of offence, because if not so used subsection 2 could not apply to the class at all, as it provides for looking at the previous convictions of prisoners whioh have been recorded against them in foreign countries. What, then, was the need of adding section 247, if theft was sufficient. I think it must have some meaning. It seems to me it must mean an offence that can be punished under section 247. It is not suggested that the offonces for which the prisoner was convicted could not be punished under sec- tion 247. If so, though convicted by a Magistrate, he has been convicted for an offence of the same class as appears in subseotion dealing with Class II. There is no doubt by so construing the Aot, and not inserting the words " convicted on indictment," peculiar provisions appear: for example, if a prisoner is convicted on an indictment for an offence, and it is proved that there are four convictions against him for theft, he may be declared an habitual criminal. If, how- ever, he is convicted before a Magistrate for theft, which may be of the same class as under section 247, though not liable to the same punishment, and though it is a theft of goods not of high value, still, if he is convioted before a Magistrate and had bee n previously convicted, even on in- diotmenc, on four oocasions of theft, the Magistrate could not commit him to the Supreme Court to be dealt with as an habitual offender unless he had in addition been convicted summarily on six other ocoasions; so that a man may be deolared an habitual criminal in the Supreme Court for fewer offences than a man can be declared an habitual of- fender by the Supreme Court, if he has appeared before a Magistrate and his last conviction is before him. This seems an anomaly that requires immediate alteration. Though I have some doubt about the matter, I do not think the Act can read in any way but that there was power in this case to declare the prisoner an habitual cri- minal ; and that declaration must stand.
