Trial of certain offences summarily.
|
5.—(1) A Justice of the District Court shall have jurisdiction to try summarily any charge of an offence which is declared by any of the foregoing sections of this Act to be a misdemeanour where the offence charged is only an attempted carnal knowledge, and the Justice is of opinion that the facts proved against the person so charged constitute a minor offence fit to be tried summarily, and such person (inquiry having been made of him by the Justice) does not object to being so tried.
