2. In the Straits Settlements any person who pretends to tell fortunes, or uses any subtle craft, means or device by palmistry, divination, sortilege, or otherwise to deceive or impose on any one is punishable under section 30 of Ordinance No. 96 (Minor Offences) by fine and imprisonment and by the forfeiture of any book or other article used as an implement of fortune telling.
3. Fortune telling outside temples has hitherto been dealt with in the Colony by having recourse to section 4 of the Vagrancy Act of 1824 providing for the punishment of rogues and vagabonds some of the provisions of which have already been included in section 21 of the Summary Offences Ordin- ance, 1932.
4. This Amending Ordinance deals with the practice by making it a summary offence and adding astrology, phrenology and physiognomics to the list of subtle crafts, means or devices set out in the Straits Settlements Ordinance. Prosecution is made subject to the consent of the Secretary for Chinese Affairs.
