that Ships belonging to Her Majesty are not subject to such regulations. Is it intended to include in this sub-clause Ships of War of Foreign Governments see clause 45.
In order to obviate the above difficulty as to Foreign Ships of war the words "as well as all other steamships" which seem out of place in a part of the Ordinance relating to steamships not exceeding sixty tons have been omitted, leaving other steam ships to fall under the provisions of Regulation 6 in Table M.
As regards section 30 Subsection (1) the Board of Trade minute: -
"Is it intended that the term "Master" here shall include "Pilot".
To that I beg leave to reply that the term "Pilot" appears to be inapplicable in the case of a junk.
As regards section 30 subsection (2) the Board of Trade minutes: -
"Before the word "permit" should not the word "special" be inserted"
to which I would reply that I think not; because “special” permit is a particular one issued under subsection 11.
There are a few points, which are mentioned in the Secretary of State's Despatch of the 18th April, which I should like to refer to.
As regards paragraph 5 of that Despatch the penalty in section 3 of Ordinance 33 of 1929 is reduced by the present measure. It is submitted that it is unnecessary to reduce the penalty of $1000, which is enacted by subsection of section 41 of Ordinance 26 of 1899, inasmuch as the dollar being worth less than 2s, the penalty of $1000 is even less than the penalty of £100 which is prescribed by section 890 of the Merchant Shipping Act.
As regards the objection which is taken in paragraph 8 of the Despatch to the powers given by our Ordinance to a Magistrate to decline to deal with an offender
