(vii) To provide for the appointment of a Government Inspector and the powers of inspection to be exercised by him, (see clauses 14 and 15).
(viii) To confer power upon the Governor-in-Council to make rules with reference to certain matters, (see clause 16).
Clause 17 of the Bill provides for notice of accidents being given to the Police.
Clause 18 prescribes penalties for breaches of various clauses.
Clause 19 deals with trespasses upon any factory, or the land adjoining thereto and also provides for the punishment of any person doing on licensed premises any act tending to an explosion.
Clause 20 confers a power to apprehend without warrant in certain cases.
Clause 21 provides for the issue of a search warrant, and the arrest of offenders, and the seizure and forfeiture of substances in respect of which an offence is committed.
Clause 22 provides for the annual renewal of licences. Clause 23 excepts Government, Military, and Naval Stores from the operation of this Bill.
Clause 24 repeals all the unrepealed portions of Ordinance 1 of 1848.
The reason why this Bill does not deal with any magazines or stores for gunpowder, independently of a factory, is that the storing of gunpowder appears to be sufficiently covered by the Dangerous Goods Ordinance, 8 of 1873, as amended by Ordinance 39 of 1899.
Bags are not mentioned in clause 11 or clause 13 of the Bill, although included in the corresponding provisions in force in England. The reason for the omission is that the Chinese are in the habit of carrying about gunpowder in sugar bags which do not constitute sufficiently substantial and safe receptacles.
