to be furnished can be fixed by regulation made by the
Governor-in-Council under the Ordinance.
Immediately
on passing of the Ordinance the following regulation
was made for this purpose:-
Contents of Export Manifests.
The export manifests required to be furnished
by section 9 of the Declarations of Ultimate
Destination Ordinance, 1915, shall contain
particulars of the description, nature, marks,
weight or quantity, part or ports of consign-
ment, and consignees of all the goods wares
and merchandise exported or to be exported on board the ship in question.
Section 10 provides that manifests shall be prima facie evidence of the exportation or intended exportation of the cargo appearing in them, whether the offence charged be an offence under this Ordinance or some other Ordinance, The object of referring to otherordinances is to provide for proof in case of offences against such Ordinances as the Military Stores(Exportation) Ordinances, 1862 to 1915, and the Trading with the Enemy Ordinance, 1914.
Section 11 gives the Governor-in-Council various powers. Two instances of the exercise of thesepowershave been referred to above, namely the exemption of transit cargo from certain sections of the Ordinance and the regu- lation dealing with the contents of export manifests. Another Order-in-Council has been made exempting certain ships from the necessity of furnishing export manifests, the intention being to require such such manifests only
in the case of ocean going ships.

Section 12 provides the same penalty as has been provi- ded in most of the ordinances introduced in consequence of
the war.
Section 13 gives power to seize and detain any cargo
exported from any British possession in contravention of the
law in force there. This seemed desirable in aid of the
authorities of neighbouring British possessions and protecto-
rates.
In my opinion this is an Ordinance to which His Excel-
lency the Governor may properly assent in the name of Hie
Majesty and on His behalf.
Attorney General,
