3. The object of clause 2 of this Bill is to repeal the new sub-section (2) of section 41 of the principal Ordinance. It will not affect, however, the repeal of the former sub- section (2) of section 41 effected by the first paragraph of Section 5 of Ordinance No. 25 of 1934.
4. For greater clearness in noting up amendments it has not been considered necessary to renumber as sub-section (2) the new sub-section (3) of section 41 enacted by section 5 of Ordinance No. 25 of 1934, or to renumber as sub-section (3) the sub-section (3A) enacted by section 18 of Ordinance No. 28 of 1935.
5. Section 2 of the Merchant Shipping Amendment Ordinance, 1935 (Ordinance No. 28 of 1935) effected three amendments in section 2 of the principal Ordinance the first of these was the insertion in it of a new paragraph (aa) which provided that "Governor " includes, in relation to any purpose of the Ordinance, any person authorised by the Governor for that purpose.
6. The object of clause 3 of this Bill is to repeal that new paragraph.
7. The repeals effected by clauses 2 and 3 of the Bill have been suggested by the Board of Trade in their letter of the 5th May, 1937, transmitted in the Secretary of State's despatch No. 287 of the 21st July, 1937.
8. Clause 4 of the Bill suspends its operation so that it can be brought into operation after His Majesty's pleasure is known. This is the usual practice with Merchant Shipping Bills. It will be convenient to bring it into operation at the same time as Ordinance No. 25 of 1934 is brought into operation under section 7 thereof.
September, 1937.
C. G. ALABASTER,
Attorney General.
