An Ordinance to amend the Deportation Ordi-

nances, 1912-1914.

[31st December, 1915.]

BE it enacted by the Goveruor of Hongkong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Deportation Ordinance, 1915, and shall be read construed as one with the Deportation Ordinances, 1912-1914, and the said Ordi- nances and this Ordinance may be cited together as the Deportation Ordinances, 1912-1915.

2.-(1.) Whenever a deportation order shall have been issued against any person it shall be lawful for the Gover- nor, by order under the hand of the Colonial Secretary, to do all or any of the following things :-

(a.) To order that the person against whom the deportation order has been issued shall depart from the Colony by a particular ship whatever the immediate or ultimate destination of the said ship.

(b.) In case it may in the opinion of the Governor be impracticable or inexpedient that such per- son should depart from the Colony by any ship by which he has been ordered to depart to sub- stitute as often as may be necessary another ship as the ship by which such person shall depart from the Colony.

(c.) To extend from time to time the time within which such person shall depart from the Colony.

Provided that where extradition proceedings have been previously taken against any such person, and the said proceedings have resulted in the discharge of such person either by a magistrate or by the Supreme Court on habeas corpus, nothing in this sub-section shall be construed as empowering the Governor to order such person to leave the Colony by any ship the immediate destination of which is a place in the territory of the State by which the surrender of such person was demanded.

(2.) Any order made under paragraph (a) of sub-section (1) of this section shall be sufficient authority to all police officers and to the master and crew of the ship to use such force and restraint as may be necessary in order to carry out such order.

(3.) Any order made under this section may be endorsed on the deportation order and may be in the form in the schedule hereto or as near thereto as the circumstances may permit.
