Circular No. 1/24.] Prosecutions under By-laws. It is noticed that prosecutions are frequently initiated by the police under local by-laws when the offence could as well be dealt with under statute, in which case the fine would go to the Crown instead of the local authority. Where the police initiate proceedings for an offence that can clearly be dealt with under statute, the prosecution should be taken under the latter, unless there is,any special reason for doing otherwise.
