If, however, on the report of the local Examiner the Principal Examiner decides that the nature of the mistakes made shows con- clusively that a candidate's sight is so defective as to render him unfit to hold a certificate, the candidate shall be considered to have failed.
In cases where, upon the report of the local Examiner. a candidate is failed by the Principal Examiner, as well as in the cases covered by paragraph 12, the Governor will be prepared to allow an examination, subject to the conditions set out in rule 26. In no circumstances may a candidate who fails to pass the lantern test be re-examined locally.
