Report on an Ordinance entitled

An Ordinance to amend the Deportation Ordinances,

1912 and 1913.

A copy of the draft bill was forwarded to the Right Honour-

able the Secretary

of State for the Colonies under cover of a

despatch dated the 2nd April 1914, and he communicated his approval

of it by his despatch dated the 8th May 1914.

The Ordinance is identical with that draft except in the three following points, where alterations were made for clearness or

symmetry:-

(a) The word "and" has been substituted for the dash

between "1912" and "1913" in the title.

(b) Sub-sub-section (e) of the new sub-section enacted

as sub-section (12) of section 4 of the Deportation

Ordinance, 1912 as amended by the Deportation Ordi-

nance, 1913, has been re-cast with a view to greater

clearnesB.

(c) The word "person" has been substituted for the word

"prisoner" in the 12th and 15th lines of paragraph

(b) of section 3.

In my opinion this is an Ordinance to which His Excellency

the Governor may properly assent in the name of His Kajesty and on

His behalf..

Attorney General.
