SUPPRESSION OF PIRACY,

6. Every person who, being found within the Colony on board any junk, vessel, or boat equipped for the purposes of piracy, is unable to satisfy the Court that he was not on board such junk, vessel, or boat with his own consent or with the knowledge that the same was equipped for the purposes of piracy shall be guilty of felony, and shall be liable to imprisonment for any term not exceed- ing 3 years.

7. If any person is convicted of any offence under this Ordinance whose age does not, in the opinion of the Court, exceed 16 years, it shall be lawful for the Court, in addition to or in lieu of the sentence passed or omitted to be passed, to direct such offender to be sent, at the expiration of such sentence or forthwith, as the case may be, to a Reformatory School (if the directors or managers thereof are willing to receive him), and to be there detained for a period not exceeding 5 years.

8. It shall be lawful for the Governor-in-Council to frame regula- tions to be enforced on summary conviction by such fines and penalties as may be deemed expedient, including forfeiture of vessel, for preventing all or any description of fishing vessels and trading junks from carrying all or any description of arms or munitions of war, including stink pots: Provided that such penalties, irrespective of forfeiture of vessel, shall not exceed in any one case a fine of 500 dollars or imprisonment for one year.
