54. No conviction or order made in pursuance of this Act, originally or on appeal, relative to any offence, penalty, forfeiture, or summary order, shall be quashed for want of form, or, if made by a court of summary jurisdiction, be removed by certiorari or otherwise, either at the instance of the Crown, or of any private party into any superior court. [1 Moreover, no warrant of commitment in any such matter shall be held void by reason of any defect therein, provided that there is a valid conviction to maintain such warrant, and it is alleged in the warrant that the party has been convicted.]
