CORRUPTION AND DISOBEDIENCE. 131. Judicial corruption.-Every one is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to fourteen years' imprisonment who (a.) holding any judicial office, or being a member of Parliament or of a legislature, corruptly accepts or obtains, or agrees to accept, or attempts to obtain for himself or any other person, any money or valuable consideration, office, place, or employment on account of anything already done or omitted, or to be afterwards done or omitted, by him in his judicial capacity, or in his capacity as such member; or (b.) corruptly gives or offers to any such person or to any other person, any such bribe as aforesaid on account of any such act or omission. No prosecution for any offence under this article can be instituted without the leave of the Attorney-General of Canada. (1) In reference to the offences dealt with under the present title the Royal Commissioners, in their report on the English draft code, say, Title III deals with offences affecting the administration of juctice, by way of corrupting judicial "or ministerial officers, by disobeying lawful orders, by deceiving courts, by "perjury and other means of the same kind, or by escaping or rescuing others “from lawful custody. In a general code of the criminal law we have thought "it right to include the offence of judicial corruption, and to subject it to severe and infamous punishment. As no case of the kind has occurred (if we "except the prosecutions of Lord Bacon and Lord Macclesfield), it is not sur"prising that the law on the subject should be somewhat vague. We have thought it right in order to protect persons holding judicial positions from "malicious prosecutions to provide that no prosecution for this offence shall be "instituted except by the attorney general." 132. Corruption of officers employed in prosecuting offenders,— Every one is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to fourteen years' imprisonment who (a.) being a justice of the peace, peace officer, or public officer, employed in any capacity for the prosecution or detection or punishment of offenders, corruptly accepts or obtains, or agrees to (1) See article 544, post. accept or attempts to obtain for himself, or for any other person, any money or valuable consideration, office, place or employment, with the intent to interfere corruptly with the due administration of justice, or to procure or facilitate the commission of any crime, or to protect from detection or punishment any person having committed or intending to commit any crime; or (b.) corruptly gives or offers to any such officer as aforesaid any such bribe as aforesaid with any such intent. Under article 3 (s) "PEACE OFFICER includes a mayor warden, reeve, sheriff, deputy sheriff, sheriff's officer, and justice of the peace, and also the warden, keeper or guard of a penitentiary, and the gaoler or keeper of any prison, and "any police officer, police constable, bailiff, constable, or other person employed "for the preservation and maintenance of the public peace, or for the service "or execution of civil process." 66 Under article 3 (w), "PUBLIC OFFICER includes any inland revenue or customs "officer, officer of the army, navy, marine, militia, North-west mounted police or "other officer engaged in enforcing the laws relating to the revenue, customs, "trade or navigation of Canada." 133. Frauds upon the Government.-Every one is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to a fine of not less than one hundred dollars, and not exceeding one thousand dollars, and to imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year and not less than one month, and in default of payment of such fine to imprisonment for a further time not exceeding six months who— (a.) makes any offer, proposal, gift, loan, or promise, or who gives or offers any compensation or consideration, directly or indirectly, to any official or person in the employment of the Government, or to any member of his family, or to any person under his control, or for his benefit, with intent to obtain the assistance or influence of such official or person to promote either the procuring of any contract with the Government, for the performance of any work, the doing of any thing, or the furnishing of any goods, effects, food or materials, the execution of any such contract, or the payment of the price, or consideration stipulated therein, or any part thereof, or of any aid or subsidy, payable in respect thereof; or (b.) being an official or person in the employment of the Government, directly or indirectly, accepts or agrees to accept or allows to be accepted by any person under his control, or for his benefit, any such offer, proposal, gift, loan, promise, compensation or consideration; or (c.) in the case of tenders being called for by or on behalf of the Government, for the performance of any work, the doing of any thing, or the furnishing of any goods, effects, food or materials, directly or indirectly, by himself or by the agency of any other person on his behalf, with intent to obtain the contract therefor, either for himself or for any other person, proposes to make, or makes, any gift, loan, offer or promise, or offers or gives any consideration or compensation whatsoever to any person tendering for such work or other service, or to any member of his family, or other |
