The extreme penalty of forfeiture is applied to any cases should be confined to cases where the emigration papers are forged or fraudulently altered, and perhaps to cases in which, Contract having been made with the Emigrants, another is fraudulently substituted, or in which the destination of the Voyage has been fraudulently and improperly changed after survey. If these suggestions are adopted, Clause 7 may be incorporated with Clause 10 as altered.
