16 & 17 Geo, 5. C. Q. 536 SECRETARIAL PRACTICE (1) in the case of an offence in England, if it appears to the Board that the case is one in which the prosecution ought to be undertaken by the Director of Public Prosecutions, the Board shall refer the matter to him; in the case of an offence in Scotland the Board shall refer the matter to the Lord Advocate. (ii) (2) If where any matter is referred to the Director of Public Prosecutions under this section he considers that the case is one in which a prosecution ought to be instituted and, further, that it is desirable in the public interest that the proceedings in the prosecu- tion should be conducted by him, he shall institute proceedings accordingly, and it shall be the duty of all officers and agents of the company, past and present (other than the defendant in the pro- ceedings), to give to him all assistance in connection with the prosecu- tion which they are reasonably able to give. For the purposes of this subsection, the expression “agents” in relation to a company shall be deemed to include the bankers and solicitors of the company and any persons employed by the company as auditors, whether those persons are or are not officers of the company.

(ii) any balance of the expenses not defrayed either by the company or the applicants shall be defrayed by the Board. (4) Subsection (3) of section thirteen of the Economy (Mis- cellaneous Provisions) Act, 1926 (which provides for the issue out of the Bankruptcy and Companies Winding-up (Fees) Account of sums towards meeting the charges estimated by the Board of Trade in respect of salaries and expenses under this Act in relation to the winding-up of companies in England) shall have effect as if
