Interpretation.
“alien" means a person who is not a British subject or a citizen of the Republic of Ireland or a British protected person but includes a British protected person who has been deported, banished or expelled from any territory which is not a foreign country';
"British subject", "British protected person" and "foreign country" have the meanings attributed thereto by the British Nationality Act, 1948.

(a) if in the opinion of the Governor in Council he has been deported or banished from the United Kingdom, from any British possession or from any territory which is under His Majesty's protection, or in respect of which a mandate is being exercised by the government of any part of His Majesty's dominions; or
(b) if the alien has been convicted in the Colony of any offence; or
(c) in any special case not falling under paragraph (a) or (b), if the Governor in Council deems it to be conducive to the public good to make summarily a deportation order against the alien.
