Section 16. The Master of every ship, whether a
"passenger ship" or otherwise, carrying passengers
on any voyage to which this Act extends, shall, before
demanding a clearance for such ship, sign two lists
made out according to the form contained in Schedule
(B.) hereto annexed, correctly setting forth in the
manner therein directed the name and other par-
ticulars of the ship, and of every passenger on board
thereof; and the said lists, when countersigned by
the Emigration Officer, where there is one at the
port, shall be delivered by the Master to the Officer
of the Customs from whom a clearance of the said
ship shall be demanded, and such Officer shall there-
upon also countersign and return to the said Master
one of such lists, hereinafter called "the Master's
list," and the said Master shall note in writing on such
last-mentioned lists, and on any additional lists to be made
out as next hereinafter provided, the date and supposed
cause of death of any passenger who may die, and the
date of birth and sex of any child who may be born on
the voyage, and shall exhibit such last-mentioned list,
with any additions which may from time to time be
made thereto as hereinafter directed, to the Chief
Officer of Customs at any port or place in Her
Majesty's possessions, or to Her Majesty's Consular
Officer at any foreign port at which the said passengers
or any of them shall be landed, and shall deposit the
same with such Chief Officer of Customs or such Con-
sular Officer, as the case may be, at the final port or
place of discharge, and such Officer of Customs or
Consular Officer shall thereupon forthwith transmit
the particulars respecting any passenger who may die,
or of any child who may be born on the voyage, to the
Registrar-General of Births, Deaths, and Marriages
in England, who shall file the same and enter a copy
thereof under his hand in the "Marine Register Book,"
which entry shall be dealt with and be of the same
value as evidence as any other entry made in such book
under the provisions of an Act passed in the Session of
Parliament held in the sixth and seventh years of the
reign of Her present Majesty, intituled "An Act for
registering Births, Deaths, and Marriages in England."
In case of non-compliance with any of the require-
ments of this section on the part of the Master, or
if such lists shall be wilfully false, the Master shall
for each offence be liable to a penalty not exceeding
one hundred pounds nor less than five pounds
sterling.
Section 100. The Master of every ship bringing
passengers into the United Kingdom from any place
out of Europe, and not within the Mediterranean
Sea, shall, within twenty-four hours after arrival,
deliver to the Emigration Officer or his assistant, or
in their absence to the Chief Officer of Customs at
the port of arrival, a correct list, signed by such
Master, and specifying the names, ages, and callings
of all the passengers embarked, and also the port or
ports at which they respectively may have embarked,
and showing which, if any of them, may have died,
with the supposed cause of death, or been born on
the voyage; and if any Master shall fail so to deliver
such list, or if the same shall be wilfully false, he
shall, on conviction, as hereinbefore mentioned, be
liable to a penalty not exceeding fifty pounds. Such
Emigration or Customs Officer shall, upon receipt of
such list, transmit the particulars respecting any pas-
senger named therein who may have died, with the sup-
posed cause of death, or been born on the voyage, to the
Registrar-General of Births, Deaths, and Marriages,
who shall file the same and enter a copy thereof under
his hand in the "Marine Register Book," which entry
shall be dealt with and be of the same value as evidence
as any other entry made in such book under the pro-
visions of an Act passed in the Session of Parliament
held in the sixth and seventh years of the reign of Her
present Majesty, intituled "An Act for registering
Births, Deaths, and Marriages in England."
