ance and exercise of the authority vested in her

thousand eight hundred and fifty-two be and the
same is hereby revoked; and that the following
shall henceforth be the rules for preserving order,

dom to any port or place in Her Majesty's
possessions abroad out of Europe, and not being

   hour the fires shall be lighted.

2. It shall be the duty of the cook or cooks,
   appointed under the thirty-ninth section of
   the said "Passengers Act, 1855," to light the
   fires, and to take care that they be kept
   alight during the day; and also to take care
   that each passenger or family of passengers
   shall have the use of the fireplace at proper
   hours, in an order to be fixed by the master.

3. When the passengers are dressed, their beds
   shall be rolled up.
