“(8) There shall be paid out of moneys appropriated by Parliament
for the purpose to the members of every Aliens Tribunal appointed
under these regulations, not being officers of the Public Service, such
remuneration by way of salary, fees, or allowances and such traveling
expenses and allowances as may from time to time be directed or
approved by the Minister of Finance.”

5. The principal regulations are hereby further amended by
   inserting therein, after Regulation 23A thereof, the following headings
   and regulations:—

“RESTRICTING POSSESSION OF CERTAIN ARTICLES BY ENEMY ALIENS.

“23B. (1) An enemy alien shall not, without a written permit
from a Registration Officer in the police district in which he resides,
have in his possession or under his control in New Zealand—

“(a) Any explosive or any material intended to be used for the
manufacture of an explosive :

“(b) More than 3 gallons of inflammable liquid :

“(c) Any motor-vehicle within the meaning of the Motor-vehicles
Act, 1924, any sea-going craft, or any aircraft :

“(d) Any camera or other photographic apparatus :

“(e) Any map drawn to a scale larger than four miles to one inch :

“(f) Any nautical chart :

“(g) Any document intended for the use of members of any armed
force :

“(h) Any document describing or depicting any ship, aircraft,
vehicle, weapon, or equipment of a kind used by the
armed forces of the Crown, or any list of persons in His
Majesty’s service.

“(2) A permit under this regulation may be subject to such con-
ditions as the officer who issues it thinks advisable. Any such permit
may be at any time amended or revoked by a Registration Officer by
notice in writing delivered to the person to whom the permit was issued.
Every enemy alien to whom a permit has been issued under this regu-
lation shall on the expiry or revocation thereof forthwith deliver it
to a Registration Officer in the police district in which he resides.

“(3) In any proceedings arising out of a contravention of the
provisions of this regulation it shall be a defence to prove that at the
date of the contravention application had been made for the necessary
permit in relation to the objects in respect of which the proceedings
are brought, and that the application was still pending at that date.

“(4) On the conviction of any person of an offence against this
regulation the Court may (without prejudice to any other penalty)
order that any object found in the possession or under the control of
that person in contravention of this regulation shall be forfeited.

“(5) If any Superintendent or Inspector of Police has reason to
suspect that an offence against this regulation has been committed,
and that evidence of the offence is to be found at any premises, the
Superintendent or Inspector, or any constable authorized by him in
that behalf, may at any time of the day or night enter upon the
premises and upon every part thereof, and search the premises and
every person found therein, and seize any article found in the premises
or on any such person which the Superintendent, Inspector, or constable
has reasonable ground for believing to be evidence of such an offence.
No female shall be searched pursuant to this clause except by a female.

“(6) Anything seized under this regulation may be retained for
a period of one month or if within that period there are commenced
any proceedings, being proceedings in which the thing seized is or
can properly be adduced in evidence, until the conclusion of those
proceedings.

“POWER TO IMPOSE SPECIAL RESTRICTIONS ON ALIENS.

“23C. The Minister may by order in writing impose on any alien
or class of aliens such restrictions (either in addition to or in substitution
for the other restrictions imposed by these regulations) as to residence,
reporting to the police, registration, occupation, employment, the use
or possession of any machine, apparatus, arms, and explosives, or other
article, or otherwise, as he may deem to be necessary in the public
interest, and any alien in relation to whom any such order is made
shall comply with the terms of the order.”

C. A. JEFFERY,
Clerk of the Executive Council.
