(2) Unless in any particular case the Captain Superintendent of Police otherwise directs, such licence shall be issued for a limited period only, shall be made out in the name of the grantee, shall bear a number and the dates of issue and expiry, shall not be transferable, and shall specify the arms and ammunition which it covers: Provided, nevertheless, that an appeal to the Governor-in-Council shall lie from any refusal by the Captain Superintendent of Police to grant such licence.
