### sec.178 Power to withhold fines payable to informers
The justices may adjudge that no part of a penalty, or such part only of a penalty as they think fit, shall be paid to an informer, not being a party aggrieved, unless by the Act on which the conviction is founded it is expressly directed that a moiety or other fixed portion of the penalty shall be paid to the informer.
