name until he shall have given proof as aforesaid. It shall be the duty
of the clerk of the court, or of the court where it has no clerk, in which
any such judgment or order is rendered or other such action taken to
forward immediately to the Commissioner a certified copy or transcript
thereof. A certified copy or transcript of the judgment order or record of
other action of the court shall be prima facie evidence of the conviction,
plea or forfeiture therein stated. In the event that the person so shown
to have been convicted, pleaded guilty or forfeited bond or collateral ap-
pears to be a non-resident of this State, the Commissioner shall transmit
a copy of such certified copy or transcript, certified to by him, to the
officer in charge of the issuance of motor vehicle operator's and/or chauf-
feur's licenses and registration certificates of the State or Province of
which such person appears to be a resident.

Provided, however, that if it shall be duly established to the satisfaction
of the Commissioner and the Commissioner shall so find (a) that any
person, whether a resident or non-resident of this State, who shall have
been convicted, pleaded guilty or forfeited bail or collateral, as aforesaid,
was, upon the occasion of the offense upon which such conviction, plea or
forfeiture was based, a chauffeur or motor vehicle operator, however, desig-
nated, in the employ of the owner of the motor vehicle involved in such
offense or a member of the immediate family or household of the owner of
such motor vehicle, and (b) that there was not, at the time of such offense
or subsequent thereto, up to the date of such finding, any motor vehicle
registered in this State, (or if a non-resident, in the State of his residence)
in the name of the person who so has been convicted, pleaded guilty or
forfeited bail or collateral, then and in that event, if the person in whose
name such motor vehicle is registered shall give proof of ability to
respond in damages according to the provisions of this sub-title, which proof
the Commissioner shall accept, such chauffeur or other person, as afore-
said, shall be relieved of the necessity of giving such proof in his own
behalf.

by a court of competent jurisdiction in this State or in any other State or
the District of Columbia, or in any District Court of the United States,
