Which of the following is true under Section 16 of the Public Gambling Act, 1867?

Section 16 provides that the Magistrate trying the case "may direct any portion" of a fine under section 3 or 4, or of the proceeds of articles seized and forfeited, to be paid to an informer. The payment is discretionary, so the informer has no right to a fixed share. Forfeited proceeds are expressly included, and the police have no power to pay.
