1. In this case three questions were referred to this Court by Duffy J on 9th March 1988 under section 118 (1)(d) of the Magistrates Ordinance, Chapter 227. They raise the question of the jurisdiction of magistrates under section 20 of the Firearms and Ammunition Ordinance, Chapter 238, when sentencing under section 20(2). They reveal something of a legislative lacuna.
