TRUCK ACT 1831 - SECT 10

Proviso as to interval of time between first and second offence, &c.

10. ... Provided always, that no person shall be punished as for a second
offence under this Act unless ten days at the least shall have intervened
between the conviction of such person for the first and the conviction by such
person of the second offence, but each separate offence committed by any such
person before the expiration of the said term of ten days shall be punishable
by a separate penalty, as though the same were a first offence; and that no
person shall be punished as for a third offence under this Act, unless ten
days at the least shall have intervened between the conviction of such person
for the second and the conviction by such person of the third offence, but
each separate offence committed by any such person before the expiration of
the said term of ten days shall be punishable by a separate penalty, as though
the same were a second offence; and that the fourth or any subsequent offence
which may be committed by any such person against this Act shall be inquired
of, tried, and punished, in the manner herein-before provided in respect of
any third offence; and that if the person or persons preferring any such
information shall not be able or shall not see fit to produce evidence of any
such previous conviction or convictions as aforesaid, any such offender as
aforesaid shall be punished for each separate offence by him committed against
the provisions of this Act by an equal number of distinct and separate
penalties, as though each of such offences were a first or a second offence,
as the case may be; and that no person shall be proceeded against or punished
as for a second or as for a third offence at the distance of more than two
years from the commission of the next preceding offence.

Ss.11, 12 rep. by 1887 c.46 s.17 sch.
