ORDINANCE No. 5 OF 1876.
Chinese Emigration Amendment.
9. Nothing in "The Chinese Emigration Consolidation Ordinance, 1874," shall prevent passengers, natives of Asia, from travelling in the first class cabin of any vessel which is provided with a general licence, on the same terms as passengers of other nationalities; or in the first or second class cabin, if the vessel carries more than two classes of passengers.
Such passengers are hereby exempted from the necessity of obtaining contract passage tickets, or of submitting themselves to be mustered or inspected by any emigration officer, or medical officer, or other person.
Such passengers shall, however, be reckoned in calculating the number of passengers, natives of Asia, who are carried by the said vessel.
10. In case it shall be shown to the satisfaction of the Governor in Council, at any time before the departure of a Chinese passenger ship, that the master, mate, or any other officer of such ship is unfit for the proper discharge of his duties by reason of incompetency or misconduct, or for any other sufficient cause, it shall be lawful for the Governor, by order under his hand, to discharge and remove such master, mate, or other officer from the said ship, and thereupon the owners or charterers thereof, or their agents, shall forthwith appoint a master, or mate, or other officer, as the case may be, to be approved by the emigration officer, in the place of the one so discharged and removed as aforesaid.
11. In any of the following cases, namely:-
(a.) If it shall appear to the satisfaction of the Governor in Council, or emigration officer, at any time before the departure of a Chinese passenger ship, that the particulars furnished to him in relation thereto under the second paragraph of this section are untrue, or that any condition of the said licence has been violated;
(b.) If any Chinese passenger ship shall fail to clear out and proceed to sea, within the period specified in the licence granted under this section, or within such extended period as aforesaid;
(c.) If the owners or charterers of a Chinese passenger ship shall fail forthwith to appoint a master, mate, or other officer to be approved as aforesaid, in the place of any master, mate, or other officer discharged under the tenth paragraph of this section;
It shall be lawful for the Governor in Council or emigration officer to revoke the licence granted by him under this section in respect of such Chinese passenger ship, and to order that the said ship be seized and detained until her emigration papers (if already granted) be delivered up to be cancelled.
12. The breach of any condition of a licence granted under this section shall be deemed a breach of a regulation respecting Chinese passenger ships within the meaning of section 2 of "The Chinese Passengers' Act, 1855."
