Sections 2 deals with interpretation. Sections impose a penalty upon the occupier or keeper of any brothel who permits a woman suffering from a contagious disease to remain in a brothel for the purpose of prostitution. This section will, it is hoped, tend to promote the proper medical treatment of prostitutes when suffering from disease.
And section 4 of this Bill, unlike section 4 of Ordinance 6 of 189..., it is not necessary to prove to the Magistrate that the brothel is a nuisance to the neighbourhood.
Sections impose a penalty upon the immediate landlord of any premises which are found to be again in use as a brothel or disorderly house, after having been closed under section 4.
Section... gives power to a magistrate, if he thinks fit, to determine a tenancy of premises on the grounds that undesirable tenants may be summarily ejected.
Section five gives to the Police and to the Registrar General's office extended powers of visitation and search and interrogation for the purpose of this Bill.
Section 8 reproduces the provisions of the English "Vagrant Act 1898" with an added power of banishment. The class of persons to be dealt with under this section is said to be on the increase in this Colony.
Section 9 is passed under instructions from the Secretary of State for the amendment of Section 30 of Ordinance 9 of 1897.
