PART II - POWERS OF COURTS
9 Sentences in cases of conviction of several offences at one trial
(1) When a person is convicted at one trial of 2 or more distinct offences the court may sentence him, for such offences, to the several punishments prescribed therefor which such court is competent to impose; such punishments when consisting of imprisonment to commence the one after the expiration of the other in such order as the court may direct, unless the court directs that such punishments shall run concurrently.
(2) In the case of consecutive sentences it shall not be necessary for a magistrate’s court, by reason only of the aggregate punishment for the several offences being in excess of the punishment which it is competent to impose on conviction of a single offence, to send the offender for trial before a higher court:
Provided that the aggregate punishment shall not exceed twice the amount of punishment which such magistrate’s court is competent to impose in the exercise of its ordinary jurisdiction.
(3) For the purposes of appeal or confirmation the aggregate of consecutive sentences imposed under this section in case of convictions for several offences at one trial shall be deemed to be a single sentence.
