CHAPTER 31.

AN ACT to make Further Provision respecting the Removal of Prisoners and Criminal Lunatics from Her Majesty’s Possessions out of the United Kingdom.

[28th July, 1884.

WHEREAS it is expedient to provide for the removal of prisoners undergoing sentence, and of criminal lunatics, from one British Possession to another British Possession, or to the United Kingdom:

Be it therefore enacted by the Queen’s Most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:—

Preliminary.

Short Title.

1. This Act may be cited as “The Colonial Prisoners Removal Act, 1884.”

Prisoners Removal.

Removal of prisoners from British Possessions in certain cases.

2. Where, as regards a prisoner undergoing sentence of imprisonment in any British Possession for any offence, it appears to the removing authority hereinafter mentioned, either—

(a.) That it is likely that the life of the prisoner will be endangered, or his health permanently injured, by further imprisonment in such British Possession; or

(b.) That the prisoner belonged at the time of committing the said offence to the Royal navy or to Her Majesty’s regular military forces; or

(c.) That the offence was committed wholly or partly beyond the limits of the said British Possession; or

(d.) That, by reason of there being no prison in the said British Possession in which the prisoner can properly undergo his sentence or otherwise, the removal of the prisoner is expedient for his safer custody, or for more efficiently carrying his sentence into effect; or

(e.) That the prisoner belongs to a class of persons who, under the law of the said British Possession, are subject to removal under this Act;

in any such case the removing authority may, subject nevertheless to the regulations in force under this Act, order such prisoner to be removed to any British Possession or to the United Kingdom, to undergo his sentence or the residue thereof.

Return of removed prisoner.

3. (1.) Where a prisoner has been removed in pursuance of this Act, a Secretary of State or the Government of a British Possession to which the prisoner has been so removed may order the prisoner, for the purpose of undergoing the residue of his sentence, to be returned to the British Possession from which he was removed.

(2.) If a Secretary of State or the Government of a British Possession to which a prisoner is removed under this Act requires the prisoner to be returned for discharge to the British Possession from which he was removed, the prisoner shall, in accordance with the regulations under this Act, be returned to the said British Possession for the purpose of being there discharged at the expiration of his sentence. In any other case a prisoner when discharged at the expiration of his sentence shall be entitled to be sent free of cost to the British Possession from which he was removed:

Provided that, where a prisoner at the date of his sentence belonged to the Royal navy or to Her Majesty’s regular military forces, nothing in this section shall require such prisoner to be returned to the British Possession from which he was removed, or entitle him to be sent there free of cost.

Regulations as to removal.

4. (1.) It shall be lawful for Her Majesty in Council from time to time to make, and, when made, revoke and vary, regulations as to the removal, return, and discharge of prisoners under this Act.

(2.) The regulations may provide for varying the conditions of a sentence of imprisonment passed in a British Possession where they differ from the conditions of a sentence of imprisonment in the part of Her Majesty’s Dominions to which the prisoner is removed, with a view to bringing them into conformity with the latter conditions, but the prisoner shall not by reason of such variation undergo an imprisonment of any longer duration; and, where the latter conditions appear to a Secretary of State to be more severe than the former conditions, the Secretary of State may remit a portion of the imprisonment, so that the punishment undergone by the prisoner shall not, in the opinion of the Secretary of State,
