            Art. 31
      The court can arrange for notices of
its verdict to be put up in the places
determined by it, as well as for the text
of the verdict to be inserted, fully or in
the form of extracts, into the
newspapers it chooses - all this at the
expense of the guilty party.

            Art. 32
      The punishments specified in
the preceding articles can be
doubled in cases of recidivism.
Such a case is taken to have occurred
if in the five preceding years a
conviction of the defendant for
a similar offence has taken place.

            Art. 33
      In mitigating circumstances the
courts can reduce the punishments to
which culprits are sentenced even to
below the prescribed minimum, and they
may even commute a sentence of imprisonment
to a fine. However, on no account
are they to go below the simple
police punishments.

            Art. 34
      The present convention
comes into force on 16 May 1882, and
is to remain valid until 1 February
1892. In the case that neither of
the high signatory parties should
make known, a year before the expiry
of this term, its intention to
withdraw from this convention,
the latter is to continue to remain
valid for a further year after the
date on which one of the signatories
does express its intention to revoke it.
