Section 12-The word “British" is inserted so as to prevent the master of a foreign ship from applying under this sub-section.
Section 13.-It was pointed out by the Board of Trade that no provision was made in sub-section (4.) of section 9 for punishing a party making a false declaration.
Section 14.-It was pointed out by the Board of Trade that a special reference to passenger certificates would make it clearer that they were intended to be included in paragraph (a.) of sub-section 2 of section 10.
Section 15.-This amendment was suggested by the Board of Trade in order to make it abundantly clear that a Surveyor was not liable to any penalty for receiving the authorized fees.
Section 16.—(1.) This amendment corrects a clerical error.
(i.) This amendment is made because foreign ships are not bound by our laws as to dock and load lines.
Section 17-It was pointed out by the Board of Trade that sub-section (15.) of section 10 had no clear or definite meaning, and it has accordingly been repealed.
Section 18.-The practical effect of this amendment is to omit from sub-section (23.) of section 10 certain provisions as to forgery which would clash with the provisions of sub-section (10) of section 41 of the Ordinance.
Sections 19 and 20.-These amendments have been made so as to render a marking which complies with British or Colonial law sufficient.

Section 21.-The amendments effected by this section in section 18 of the Ordinance are intended to meet the case of a ship arriving in this Colony which is unrepresented by a Consular Officer.
Section 22.--The word "British " has been inserted for the sake of greater clearness, by desire of the Board of Trade. It has always been the practice to read the corresponding provision of Ordinance 26 of 1891 as applying to the British mercantile marine only.
Section 23.-It was pointed out by the Board of Trade that no provision was made in the Ordinance for the ordering of costs of the investigation to be paid.
Section 26.-The new signals are "Y F" and not "PC" as formerly.
Section 27.-It seems desirable that all cables should be covered by the provision of the paragraph in question.
Section 29.-This supplies an accidental omission, which was pointed out by the Board of Trade.
Section 31.-The addition of the words "of payment" makes better drafting.

Section 32.-It is thought better to omit any reference to steamship in this sub-section inasmuch as the whole section applies to steamships not exceeding sixty tons, especially as, if the words which are omitted, were left in, it might be argued that they were intended to apply to H. M. Ships or to foreign ships of war.
Sections 33 and 34.--These are a few minor amendments, suggested by the Board of Trade, and do not appear to call for any comment.
Section 35.---It was suggested by the Secretary of State that, inasmuch as certain of the provisions of our local Ordinance differed from English legislation, it would be advisable, in order to prevent any contention being raised as to certain provisions of our Merchant Shipping Ordinance being ultra vires, to specifically repeal so much of the provisions of the English Merchant Shipping Acts as are inconsistent with the provisions of Ordinance 36 of 1899. Accordingly four and a half lines have been added to the commencement of sub-section (1.) of section 41 for the purpose of meeting the above point.
Section 36.-The Board of Trade thought that the provisions of the English Act as to service of documents (see section 696 of the Merchant Shipping Act of 1894) had better be adopted in this Colony, for the sake of uniformity.
Section 37.-This provision is borrowed from the Home Act, section 743, and has been introduced on the suggestion of the Board of Trade.
