Em to constitute the offence a statutabte one.

Fc seems rather to indicate that such offence, and the other speci- ied offences therein mentioned, shall be within the-jurisdiction of he magistrate, and shall be tried and disposed of by him in the nanner therein prescribed.

A conviction for keeping a house of l-fame, alleging it to be " against the form of the statute in such ase made and provided " is not void on that ground.

If this Act onstitutes the keeping of a house of ill-fame a statutable offence he reference to the statute would be right, and if it is only a iommon law offence, the reference to the statute may be rejected s surplusage.

R v Flint, 4 Ont R, 214 This statute makes the being such habitual frequenter a sub- tan tial offence, punishable as in section 11, and does not merely reate a procedure for trial and punishment.
