122. Crime by accused charged with misdemeanour
(1) Where, on the trial of a person for a misdemeanour, it appears that
the facts given in evidence amount in law to a crime, that person shall not
for that reason be entitled to be acquitted of the misdemeanour.
(2) No person tried for the misdemeanour shall be liable to be prosecuted
for a crime on the same facts, unless the Court before which the trial takes
place thinks fit to discharge the jury from giving any verdict upon the trial,
and to direct that person to be included in an information for crime, in which
case, that person may be dealt with in all respects as if he had not been put
upon his trial for the misdemeanour.
