banishees from other parts of the Empire. Sections 8, 9,

10 and 12(3) of the principal Ordinance prohibited the

residence here of banishees from the Straits Settlements, and

Malay States and Borneo, and dealt with the penalties to be

imposed and the evidence to be adduced if they were found

here. For some years it has been found impracticable to

impose these penalties. It is moreover illogical to limit

the exclusion of alien deportees to those deported only from

the places named. It seems desirable therefore to abolish

altogether the automatic exclusion and to make provision for

the issue of local summary orders if and whenever it is

considered desirable to get rid of the alien deportees from

other parts of the Empire.

4. The new sections 3(1) (b) and (c) are derived

respectively from the old sections 3(1) (a) and (b) and (2).

Provision similar to the latter is also to be found in

section 12(6) (c) of the

Aliens Restriction Acts,

3(1)(c) applies only to

to the Secretary of State under section 14 of the principal

Ordinance as amended by section 7 of this Ordinance.

5. The new section 3(2) is practically a re-enactment of

section 4 (1) and (11) of the principal ordinance but limits

it to aliens. The new section 3(3) provides for the use

in the case of alien deportations of the form of order

authorised by section 3 of the amending Ordinance No. 34 of

1929.

6. The new section 3A (1) (2) (3) (5) (7) (8) and (9) is practically a re-enactment of section 4(4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (10)

and (12) of the principal Ordinance save that it has been

found necessary to extend the time authorised by the

Detention Warrant to fourteen days.
