202Deferred sentence
(1)It shall be competent for a court to defer sentence after conviction for a period and on such conditions as the court may determine.
(2)If it appears to the court which deferred sentence on an accused under subsection (1) above that he has been convicted during the period of deferment, by a court in any part of Great Britain of an offence committed during that period and has been dealt with for that offence, the court which deferred sentence may—
(a)issue a warrant for the arrest of the accused; or
(b)instead of issuing such a warrant in the first instance, issue a citation requiring him to appear before it at such time as may be specified in the citation,
and on his appearance or on his being brought before the court it may deal with him in any manner in which it would be competent for it to deal with him on the expiry of the period of deferment.
(3)Where a court which has deferred sentence on an accused under subsection (1) above convicts him of another offence during the period of deferment, it may deal with him for the original offence in any manner in which it would be competent for it to deal with him on the expiry of the period of deferment, as well as for the offence committed during the said period.
