REPORT ON ORDINANCE No........... 34.........of 192 9.

1.

I have examined the accompanying Ordinance. intituled an

Ordinance to amend the Deportation Ordinance, 1917, and

I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not

contrary to the Governor's instructions.

2.

The object of this Ordinance is to amend section 3 (2) of the Deportation Ordinance, 1917, Ordinance No. 25 of

1917, so as to make it agree with the form of the Aliens

Order, 1920, which is in force in the United Kingdom. This amendment is effected by section 2 of this Ordinance.

3. In view of the nature of the power conferred by

the above sub-section as amended it seems unnecessary and

undesirable that the deportation order should be required to contain a statement of the grounds upon which it is made. Accordingly, a special form of deportation order, from which the statement of the grounds is omitted, has been provided

for orders made under section 3 of the principal Ordinance. This point is dealt with in sections 3, 4 and 5 of this

Ordinance. In view, however, of dicta in Ex parte Bressler
