WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
(d) prohibiting except with the special or general permission of the Colonial Secretary the working or using of any apparatus for wireless telegraphy on board a merchant ship whether British or foreign whilst such ship is in any of the harbours of the Colony; and
(e) prohibiting or regulating, in case at any time in the opinion of the Governor an emergency has arisen in which it is expedient for the public service that His Majesty's Government should have control over the transmission of messages by wireless telegraphy on board merchant ships whether British or foreign in the waters of the Colony, the use of wireless telegraphy on board such ships while in such
waters.
(2) Provided that no regulations made in respect of the matters described in subsection (1) (c), (d) and (e) shall apply to the use of wireless telegraphy for the purpose of making or answering signals of distress.
7. When an applicant for a licence proves to the satisfaction of the Governor that the sole object of obtaining the licence is to enable him to conduct experiments in wireless telegraphy, a licence for that purpose shall be granted subject to such special terms, conditions and restrictions as the Governor may think proper but shall not be subject to any rent or royalty.
8. (1) Every omission or neglect to comply with and every act done or attempted to be done contrary to the provisions of this Ordinance or of any regulation made thereunder or in breach of the conditions and restrictions subject to or upon which any licence has been issued shall be deemed to be an offence against this Ordinance, and for every such offence not otherwise specially provided for the offender shall in addition to the forfeiture of any articles seized be liable to a fine of five hundred dollars.
(2) All convictions, forfeitures and fines under this Ordinance or any regulations made thereunder may be had and recovered before a magistrate.
