About this Act
An Act to extend the Indian Easements Act, 1882, to certain areas in which that Act is not in force.
When any person, in the presence of any
officer of a prison, commits any offence specified in the last foregoing section, and refuses on
demand of such officer to state his name and residence, or gives a name or residence which such
officer knows, or has reason to believe, to be false, such officer may arrest him, and shall
without unnecessary delay make him over to a Police-officer, and thereupon such Police-officer
shall proceed as if the offence had been committed in his presence.
