Objects and Reasons.
The object of this Bill is to make better provision—
(a.) For the examination of persons entering and
leaving the Colony.
(b.) For the deportation of persons ordered to quit the Colony under the powers conferred by the Order in Council of the 26th October, 1896. (c.) For the registration of visitors at hotels, board-
ing-houses, and clubs.
(d.) For the detection and punishment of persons who attempt to leave the Colony without per- mission or to evade the examination contem- plated by the Bill.
The clauses of the Bill are self-explanatory, but it may be mentioned that Clause 14 is practically a copy of Article 3 of the Aliens Restriction (Amendment) Order, 1915, and that the immediate intention is to restrict the operation of Clause 10 to such persons as are required to obtain passes at present.
J. H. KEMP,
Attorney General.
