In 1875 it became desirable, owing to the war in Achin, to prevent even free emigration to that country and accordingly in 1876 a further Ordinance was passed which brought the law practically into the shape in which it now stands. All ships were required to obtain a license but the fee was reduced to a nominal amount, the emigration officers were allowed to issue licences for ships carrying free emigrants on voyages of not more than thirty days and - to cover the case of the 'mail steamers and other vessels' above referred to - the Governor was authorised to grant general licences to carry free coolies, or coolies under contract for British possessions for any number of voyages.
