of pilots.
(1) no person shall be granted a certificate of competency Examination or be licensed as a pilot unless he has satisfied a Board of Examiners and licensing Examiners appointed by the Governor that he is capable of performing such duties. Any application for a certificate must be accompanied by a declaration to this effect;
(2) any person acting as a pilot upon any ship to which he does not belong without being duly licensed, shall be liable to a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars.
Nothing in this Ordinance shall be held to make the employment of pilots by masters and owners of ships compulsory.
3. It shall be lawful for the Governor in Council to fix by notification the rates of fees to be paid by pilots for licences.
Such fee as the Governor in Council may determine shall be paid out of the public revenue to every member of the Board of Examiners, not being a salaried officer of the Government, for every examination conducted by him.
4. The Harbour Master may, subject to the sanction of the Governor, make regulations for the proper conduct of pilots in all matters relating to their duties, including, among other things, matters relating to the distinguishing marks and flags of pilot boats and the means of making themselves known as licensed pilots to persons in charge of ships entering or leaving the waters of the Colony; and every person infringing any such regulation shall be liable to have his licence suspended by the Harbour Master for a period not exceeding three months, and, upon summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding fifty dollars.
5.-(1) Every licensed pilot when acting in that capacity shall be provided with his licence and shall produce the same to every person by whom he is employed or to whom he offers his services as pilot.
(2) Every licensed pilot who refuses, on the request of any such person, to exhibit his licence and a copy of pilotage dues authorised under this Ordinance, shall upon summary conviction be liable to a fine not exceeding fifty dollars, and shall further be liable to have his licence suspended or cancelled by the Harbour Master.
