IMMIGRATION BILL
POWERS OF OFFICERS OF HER MAJESTY'S SHIPS.
For many years, officers of Her Majesty's ships have been authorized by emergency regulations to exercise powers under the immigration law. Clause 54 confers on them such powers as they require and so permits the revocation of the emergency regula- tions.
Proof of CERTAIN MATTERS.
Clause 60 places on a person who claims any of the specified matters the burden of establishing the same. All these matters are peculiarly within the knowledge of a claimant.
MINOR AMENDMENTS.
The Bill also makes numerous amendments of a minor
nature.

Attorney General (Acting).
