Executive Council is hardly designed for offering quick
advice on questions of sending away destitute individuals,
whose cases would be more appropriately handled by
magistrates, in whose hands the present Bill will put a
further means of dealing with all sorts of destitute and
mendicant persons.

The Bill has been slightly amended from the
original version in order to give the magistrate a
discretion as to whether or not he will order the
expulsion.
The Governor-in-Council will not be concerned
except where under the proposed Section 244 (4),
introduced by clause 4 of our Bill, the expelled person
has returned to the Colony without permission within
five years from the date of the order for his expulsion.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient. humble servant,
Ad. Worthatt
fa
Governor.
