3. The fourteenth paragraph required a statement of the fault or default, if any, attributed to the other ship. This is not required in England and has given rise to difficulties in the Courts of the Colony.
4. This amending Ordinance repeals the paragraph and substitutes two paragraphs, corresponding in effect with paragraphs (0) and (p) of the English rule, winch deal with sound signals and which were added to the Order 19 rule 28 in 1898, about two years after the date of the principal Ordinance.
5. As the repealed paragraph in rule 53 was in the nature of a pleading, rule 54 has been redrafted so as to make it clearer that an application for pleadings shall not be deemed abnormal.
6. A suspending clause is added to the Ordinance in accordance with the provisions of sections 4 and 7 of the Colonial Courts of Admiralty Act, 1890.
