7. As to the various Ambassadors and the Preachers of Christianity, the Minister of Foreign Affairs shall have power to issue to them permits to enter the Hawaiian Territory, but they must have clear proof to show (that they are what they represent themselves to be).
8. Any Chinese Commissioners who come hither on account of any affairs in Hawaii will not be affected by this restrictive measure. Their letters of credentials shall be taken as permits. Their retinue and servants may also land in the same way as any Chinese holders of permits.
9. Permits issued under the provisions of this Act only entitle the holders thereof to come. They cannot be transferred to some one else. Should anything of this nature happen, the permits shall be considered as waste paper. Any persons doing such a thing or aiding and abetting others in doing so shall be liable on conviction to a fine of $200 or to imprisonment for any term not exceeding six months.
10. Permits issued under the provisions of this Act should, on the holders thereof entering the Hawaiian Territory, be delivered up to the Commissioner of Customs who shall transmit same to the Minister of Foreign Affairs for his inspection and scrutiny. The Commissioner of Customs shall also have power to detain any persons who clandestinely enter the Hawaiian Territory or whom he suspects of having committed an offence against this Act, until the issue of warrants for their apprehension.
11. Any offences against any of the sections of this Act, with the exception of Section 5 shall be tried and decided by the Magistrates. If (the people concerned) are dissatisfied with the Magistrates' decision, they shall have the right to appeal to the Supreme Court.
12. The fees received by the Minister of Foreign Affairs for permits issued under the provisions of this Act have been looked into, and after deducting the amount of the expenditure, the balance has been placed in the Treasury. This money is considered as tax chargeable on Chinese for immigration and emigration.
13. The Chinese Immigration Act, No. 20, passed on the 1st August, 1878, and the amendment framed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs on the 13th July, 1883, with the consent of the King and the various high officials are hereby totally repealed.
