Your Lordship that I have recently had under consideration the question of the increasing number of criminals banished from the Colony under the provisions of Ordinance No:8 of 1882, who return to the Colony in contravention of the law.
2. Under section 4 of that Ordinance the punishment for illegally returning from banishment is imprisonment for a period not exceeding one year, and attention has been drawn to the ineffectual and impolitic nature of that punishment by the Registrar General in the minute of which I enclose a copy.
Min: /. 28th Dec! 1892.
Filed: 2
14th Jany. 1893!
a
3. I attach a return for the last 20 years shewing the number of deportees who have returned to the Colony before the expiration of the periods.
