(b)  To any general or special Act or law of Québec and to every regulation or by-law passed thereunder, in force on 21 March 1922, in which it is enacted that any prosecution for a penalty, fine or imprisonment, incurred for contravention of any provision thereof, or the obtaining of an order for the payment of a sum of money, or for any other object, be made in a summary way or by summary conviction;
