Objects and Reasons,

I.

This Ordi- nauce also amends the procedure in certain details as the result of experience acquired in practice.

2. Section 2 of this Ordinance repeals sections 3 and 4 of the principal Ordinance and substitutes new sections 3, 3A, 4, 4A, 4B and 4C. Of these the new section 3 (1) (a) authorises the issue of summary orders against alien bani-
