October 26, 1959, Sansoni, J.—
The Crown does not apparently seek to justify the order made bythe learned Magistrate in this case. Neither the petitioner’s counselnor I have been able to find any provision under Section 325 (1)
of the Criminal Procedure Code which authorizes a Magistrate torequire an. accused to report at the Pohce Station during the . periodfor which he has been bound over.
I therefore delete that part of the sentence which requires the"accusedto report at the Modera Police Station on every Monday, Wednesday,and Saturday during his probation period. Subject to this variationthe application is dismissed..
Order varied.
