Hi John, Act 16 of 1914 was an act governing Justices of the Peace and Oaths. I have no insight into the contents but it was repealed in its entirety by Act 16 of 1963 which covered the same subject. Regards, David Bossenger ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Can any kind soul please help me with a bit of South African law? I have found a list of previous convictions of a notorius relative, which lists 5 offences he was tried for. Four were for theft, and he was found guilty of all four, and received hard labour. In one instance in 1923 in Pretoria, though, the record says the crime was "CS 9 Act 16/14", and the Judgement is left blank. The sentence was "Until rising of Ct". I assume?that is until the rising of the court, but I don't know what it really means in practice, or what the crime of "CS 9 Act 16/14" involved. Can anyone help? Thanks & best wishes, John Wynne Cheshire, UK

Thanks, David. I'd managed to find that too, but couldn't see the relevance, or find CS 9 (or any sections, let alone Section 9, if that's what "CS 9" represents).

CS could also stand for "Court of Session" Ron Barnard Thanks, David. I'd managed to find that too, but couldn't see the relevance, or find CS 9 (or any sections, let alone Section 9, if that's what "CS 9" represents).
