TREATMENT OF OFFENDERS ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1968 - SECT 21

Discovery of further offences.

21.(1) If an offender is convicted in Northern Ireland of an offence for which
the court has power, or would, but for section 1, have power to sentence him
to imprisonment, committed during the operational period of a
suspended sentence or order for detention and it appears to a justice of the
peace having jurisdiction in the county [court division] in which he was
committed for trial or, where the offence was not tried on indictment, where
he is convicted that he has not been dealt with in respect of the
suspended sentence or order for detention, the justice may issue a summons
requiring the offender to appear at the place and time specified therein, or
may, subject to the following provisions of this section, issue a warrant for
his arrest.

(2) Unless he is a [judge of the Crown Court] acting in consequence of a
notice under section 20 ... (3) a justice of the peace shall not issue a
summons under this section except on complaint and shall not issue a warrant
under this section except on complaint in writing and on oath.

(3) A summons or warrant issued under this section shall direct the offender
to appear or to be brought before the court by which the
suspended sentence or order for detention was passed or made; but if a warrant
is so issued requiring him to be brought before [the Crown Court] and he
cannot forthwith be brought before that court because the court is not being
held, the warrant shall have effect as if it directed him to be brought before
a magistrates' court having jurisdiction in the place where he is arrested and
the latter court shall commit him in custody or on bail to [the Crown Court]
....

Abolition of sentence of corporal punishment.
