it stands forfeited under subsection (3) it shall thereupon cease to be in
force.

against the Foyle Fisheries Acts, the clerk of the court shall, as soon as may
be, in either case forward to each of the Board and the Commission a duly
authenticated certificate of the conviction, and, notwithstanding the
provisions of any statutory instrument, such a certificate shall not be
subject to any stamp.
