4. Fines to be recoverable by judgment

When any fine is imposed upon any person otherwise than by a judgment or
conviction of some court, the judge or the magistrate by whom such fine is

the form contained in the Second Schedule to this Act or to the like effect
certify that fact together with the name and place of abode or business of the
person on whom such fine has been so imposed and the cause and amount of such
fine; and shall deliver or send by the post to a law officer such writing, and
upon receipt thereof the law officer shall cause a final judgment to be signed
in the Supreme Court for the amount of such fine and $101 for costs; and every
such judgment may be in the form contained in the Third Schedule to this Act
or to the like effect, and no writ of error or appeal shall lie or be had
therefrom.
