Governor for the arrest and detention of such persons;
but some authority seems necessary to authorise the
summary arrest and temporary detention of such persons
by the police whilst preliminary inquiries are pursued
and the warrant is being applied for, obtained and served.
5. This Ordinance therefore extends the power of the
police so as to permit the summary arrest and temporary
detention of persons reasonably suspected of being liable
to deportation. It also gives the police power, in
suitable cases, to discharge such persons upon entering
into recognizances.
6.
This Ordinance also adds two new sub-sections to
the new section 26 of the principal Ordinance relating to
seizure of documents without warrant and also upon a
search warrant granted by a magistrate.
The latter is
based mainly on the provisions of section 9 of the Seditious
Publications Ordinance No.6 of 1914.
7. In my opinion this is an Ordinance to which His
Excellency the Governor may properly a ssent in the name
of His Majesty and on His behalf.
