This Sierra Leone Act provides that "Section 4 of the Bastardy Laws Amendment Act, 1872, (which provides for the making of an order on the putative father for the maintenance, etc. of a bastard child) shall have effect as well for the purpose of pending applications as for the purpose of future applications as though '100 leones a week' were therein substituted for '30 shillings a week'." The Act also allows orders already made to be varied by increasing the sum to be paid up to 100 leones.
