Section LXXXVII Trial of Offences against repealed Acts.

Any Person who has committed or may commit, before the Commencement of this Act, any Offence against any of the Acts or Portions of Acts hereby repealed, for which such Person has not been tried before such Day, shall be tried and punished under this Act as if such Crime or Offence had been committed against the same, but he shall not suffer any greater Punishment than he was liable to under any of the Acts or Portions of Acts hereby repealed; and any Proceedings of any Court-martial, or any other Proceedings under such Acts or Portions of Acts, which may be pending on the Day of the Commencement of this Act, shall be continued, and the Offender, if found guilty, shall be punished as if the Act against which he offended had not been repealed.
