8. At any time after the passing of this Ordinance the Governor in Council may by order declare that the provisions of Ordinance 14 of 1879 and all regulations made thereunder shall apply in relation to the whole or any part of the Colony as fully to all intents and purposes as the same applied in relation to the City of Victoria at the time of the passing of this Ordinance, and such provisions shall thereupon apply.
The Governor in Council may from time to time revoke, add to or alter such order.
9. In any case where an order is made by the Governor in Council under the provisions of section 3 of Ordinance 8 of 1882, it shall be in the discretion of the Governor in Council to order that the person named in such order be detained in custody of the Police until he leaves the Colony, and such person may thereupon be arrested and shall be deemed to be under lawful arrest until he leaves the Colony or until the final departure from the Colony of any vessel in which he leaves.
Such order of detention shall provide that the person named therein shall have reasonable facilities for settling his affairs and arranging for his departure.
The Captain Superintendent of Police shall cause notices in the Chinese language, containing the names of persons against whom orders have been made under section 3 of Ordinance 8 of 1882 to be from time to time posted up in public and conspicuous places.
10. No person shall post up or exhibit or cause to be posted up or exhibited upon any wall or in any public place any public notice or proclamation in the Chinese language without the permission of the Registrar General being first obtained.
The Registrar General may in his discretion refuse such permission in any case in which he deems that the publication of such notice or proclamation may be prejudicial to peace or good order.
No person shall tear down or deface or cause to be torn down or defaced any public notice or proclamation bearing the Official Seal of the Governor or of any Government Department of the Colony.
11. Any person acting in contravention of this Ordinance shall be liable upon summary conviction before a Magistrate to be imprisoned with hard labour for a term not exceeding 3 months or at the discretion of the Magistrate to a penalty not exceeding $500. But if upon the hearing of the charge the Court shall be of opinion that there are circumstances in the case which render it inexpedient to inflict any punishment, it shall have power to dismiss the person charged without proceeding to conviction.
