(b.) If while any such order remains unrevoked the person against whom it has been made lands in New Zealand with knowledge of the fact that the order has been made against him, he shall be guilty of an offence against these regulations and shall be liable accordingly.

(c.) Any person who is found on shore in New Zealand at any time while an order so made against him remains unrevoked may be arrested without warrant by any constable and placed and detained on board the ship by which he arrived in New Zealand, or on board any other ship belonging to the same owner and bound for the country from which that person was brought to New Zealand, and may, pending his removal to such ship, be detained in such custody and in such place as the Attorney-General may direct.

(d.) If the owner or master of any ship having knowledge of the making of any such order against any person carried to New Zealand in that ship or in any other ship belonging to the same owner refuses to permit that person to remain on board the ship in obedience to the order, or refuses to receive that person on board the ship when brought thereto in custody in accordance with these regulations, or connives at or is privy to the escape of that person from the ship, such owner or master shall be guilty of an offence against these regulations and shall be liable accordingly.

(e.) β€œOwner” includes charterer.

  1. (a.) When the Attorney-General, in pursuance of clause 26 of the War Regulations of the 24th day of July, 1916, orders any person to leave New Zealand the Attorney-General may, by the same order if he thinks such a course necessary for the public safety, authorize the immediate arrest and detention of that person, and thereupon any officer may without warrant arrest that person and place him on board any vessel about to leave New Zealand for the country from which he came to New Zealand, and detain him on board that vessel until it has left New Zealand; and paragraphs (b), (c), and (d) of clause 26 of the said War Regulations shall apply to any such case in the same manner as if the order to leave New Zealand had been duly served and default had been made in complying therewith within seven days after the date of service thereof.

(b.) When any person ordered to leave New Zealand has been arrested in pursuance of clause 26 of the said War Regulations or in pursuance of this present regulation he may, pending his removal to a ship in pursuance of those regulations, be detained in such custody and in such place as the Attorney-General may direct.

(c.) For the purposes of clause 26 of the said War Regulations, no person shall be deemed to be ordinarily resident in New Zealand who first becomes ordinarily resident therein after the date of these present regulations.

  1. Nothing in these regulations shall be deemed to revoke or affect any other War Regulations already in force, and all such other War Regulations shall remain in full force and effect according to their tenor concurrently with the present regulations, but so that no person shall be punished twice for the same offence.

  2. These regulations shall be read together with and deemed part of the War Regulations of the 10th day of November, 1914.

J. F. ANDREWS,
Clerk of the Executive Council.
