2. Sections 2 and 3 of this Ordinance amend sections 3 (3) and 4 (1) of the principal Ordinance by providing for the return of a prohibited immigrant to his port of embarka- tion or to the country of which he is a national, instead of to his port of embarkation or to the country of his birth or citizenship, as such an immigrant might not be a national of the country in which he was born.

3. Section 4 of this Ordinance inserts certain words in section 6 of the principal Ordinance to make it clear that the liability to provide a free passage to the port of embarkation, imposed on the master, owner, agent and consignee, is both joint and several.

4. Section 5 of this Ordinance amends section 9 (d) of the principal Ordinance by validating the visas of officials duly authorised to grant British visas in any British protectorate or protected State or any Territory in respect of which a mandate on behalf of the League of Nations has been accepted by His Majesty.

5. Section 5 of this Ordinance also amends section 9 (d) of the principal Ordinance by making it clear that the reference to His Majesty's Government is intended as a reference to His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom.

April, 1935.

C. G. ALABASTER.
