Provisions relating to Ships gerrvin: Faivrenta.
The general scheme of this Part of the Bill is that all snips to which
the Bill applies must be possessed of some form of licence. Licences are
in the Bill divided into three classes designated as "General", "Out-
-port" and "Special".
The "Outport" licence is that capable of being granted by an
Emigration officer to a ship about to proceed with migrants from a
port outside the Colony.
The "General" Licence and the "Special" licence are Licences
capable of being granted by the Governor to snips which are about to proceed with emigrants from a port in the Colony. The "General" licenc is as its name implies under no restriction of period; a "Special" licence is referable only to wail ships and is limited in period. In this part are also laid dom other fortalizies which have to be com -plied with by these ships and the conditions under which each class of
licence may be granted.
Voyages are divided into two categories, namely "long" and "short" voyages; a long voyage is a voyage declared to be of more than 30 days duration; a "short" voyage is a voyage of more than 7 and not more than 30 days duration or any other voyage declared to vo & snort
voyage.
There are three Schedules of egulations respecting the infernal accomodation, comfort and treatment of passengers on voyages. Of these schedules the Sixth prescribes what is necessary on long voy» -ages; the fourth what is necessary on suort voyages on ships under "General" or *Outport" licence; the Fifth what is necessary on short voyages on ships under "Special" kicence. The requirements on long voyalės kre naturally more elaborate than those for short voyages. The requiremente on short voyages on ships under "Special" licence are slightly less rigorous than those on snort voyages on snips under "General" or "Outport" licences, the reason being that "Special" licences are restricted to ships of that superior class which carries
Rails.
