9. Sub-sections (2) and (3) of the new section 4 insist on long procedure in the presence of a judge in chambers and a report from the judge as to whether or not the allegations are in his opinion well founded in the case of the deportation of British subjects.

10. The new sections 4A and 4B are with slight v erba changes re-enactments of section 4 (2) and (3) of the principal Ordinance. The new section 40 is suggested by section 12 (6) of the Aliens Order and authorises courts and magistrates to recommend aliens for banish-

ment.

11. Sections 3, 4, 5 and 6 of this Ordinance effect the repeals of the provisions relating to the exclusion of bani- shees from certain parts of the Empire referred to in para- graph 2 of this Memorandum.

12. Section 7 of this Ordinance makes section 14 of the principal Ordinance applicable to the new sections introduced by this Ordinance and provides for the trans- mission of full particulars to the Secretary of State in certain cases.

13. Section 8 of this Ordinance amends the forms of detention warrant so as to extend the period of detention to correspond with the periods authorised by the new section 3 (3) and 3A (1) and amends Form No. 1 so as to correspond with the terms of the sub-section under which it is made. It amends the condition on the recognizance of bail so as to provide for surrender into police custody instead of surrender at the House of Detention. It also amends the method of completing the period which is to elapse before a deportee must leave the Colony.

14. Section 9 of this Ordinance makes a reference in section 7 of the principal Ordinance as amended by Ordi- nance No 34 of 1929 applicable to a new section intro- duced by this Ordinance.

15. Section 10 of this Ordinance repeals a sub-section of section 85 of the Magistrates Ordinance, 1890, which authorised the flogging of returned banishees, as this punishment is not considered suitable.
