3. (a.) After the seventeenth day of October, 1917, save in pursuance of a license issued by a competent authority it shall not be lawful for any alien, or for any person who is a British subject by naturalization only, to be engaged in the work of lading or unlading a ship, or to be engaged in any manner of work whatever on or about any wharf or ship.

   (c.) Every person who is engaged in any work in breach of the foregoing provisions shall be guilty of an offence against these regulations, and shall be liable accordingly.
   (d.) Every person who procures or permits any other person to be engaged in any work in breach of this regulation shall be guilty of an offence against these regulations, and shall be liable accordingly; provided that on a prosecution for any such offence it shall be a good defence that the accused believed on reasonable grounds that such engagement was not in breach of this regulation.
   (e.) Every license issued by a competent authority under this regulation may be issued on such terms and conditions as that authority thinks fit, and shall be revocable at the will of the same or any other competent authority.

4. A constable or an officer of Customs may question any person engaged or about to be engaged in the work of lading or unlading a ship, or in any manner of work on or about a wharf or ship, or any person found upon a wharf or ship, as to his identity and present or former nationality, and any person who refuses or neglects to answer any question so put to him, or who answers any such question in a false or misleading manner, shall be guilty of an offence against these regulations, and shall be liable accordingly.

   (b.) Every person who resists, obstructs, or deceives any constable or officer of Customs in the exercise of this right of search or detention shall be guilty of an offence against these regulations, and shall be liable accordingly.

6. (a.) When a competent authority is satisfied that the conduct or character of any person is such that his exclusion from wharves and shipping is advisable in the interests of the public safety, such competent authority may by order in writing warn that person off all wharves and ships.
   (b.) Every such order shall take effect so soon as the making thereof has been brought in any manner to the knowledge of the person against whom it is made.
   (c.) If while any such order remains in force the person against whom it is made enters or remains upon any wharf or ship or loiters in the vicinity of any entrance to a wharf, he shall be guilty of an offence against these regulations, and shall be liable accordingly.
   (d.) Every such order made by a competent authority may by order in writing be revoked by the same or any other competent authority.
