     (b) if the fine is not paid—on full compliance with the order.
"(6) The term of a sentence of imprisonment imposed by an order under sub-section (1) or (2) in respect of a fine shall be calculated at the rate of one day's imprisonment for each $25 of the amount of the fine that is from time to time unpaid.

SCHEDULE 1—continued
