might be said would have no difficulty in deciding that a voyage from the coast of China to the Philippines was eleven days- a voyage exceeding ten days.
It follows that the "Fortuna" as a British ship carrying more than 20 passengers on a voyage exceeding ten days was clearly a Passenger ship, and as such required to be furnished with Emigration papers and that she might have been seized for the want of them by the British Consul at Manila or by the Commander of any of her Majesty's ships by which she might have been met at Sea. She will be equally liable to forfeiture whenever she may return within the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, provided sufficient proof of her neglect of the Law can be produced.
I think it probable that Mr. H. Bowning, who has shown anxiety to enforce the provisions of the Passenger Act, will, if he has had the opportunity, have taken steps to enforce the Law against the "Fortuna".
