CRIMINAL JUSTICE ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1953 - SECT 4

Taking of other offences into consideration in imposing punishment.

4.(1) Where a person, on being convicted of an offence, admits himself guilty
of any other offence and asks the court to take it into consideration in
imposing punishment, the court may, unless objection is made by or on behalf
of the prosecutor or unless it is an offence in respect of which the court has
not jurisdiction to award punishment, take it into consideration accordingly.

(2) If the court takes an offence into consideration, a note of that fact
shall be made and filed with the record of the sentence, and the accused shall
not be prosecuted for that offence, unless his conviction is reversed or
quashed or otherwise annulled.
