Scotion 2 of thin Ordinance re- penia soutions 3 and 4 of the prin eipal Ordinance and substitutes new sections 3, 3A, 4, 4A,:4B and Of these the new section 3 (1) (d) authorises the issue of sum. mary orders against alien banishees from other parts of the Empire, Section 8, 9 10 and 19 (3) of the principal Ordinance prohibited the residence here of banishtes from the Straits Settlements, and Malay States and Borneo, and dealt with the penalties to be imposed and the ovidened to be adduced if they were found here. For some усага it har 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 there fare 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 doportees frun other parts of the Empire.
