1. That there be on board such ship an efficient apparatus for distilling fresh water from salt water, of the description commonly known either as Normandy’s Patent or Winchester and Gravely’s Patent.

2. That the owners, charterers, or master of such ship, before clearance, lodge with such emigration officer a certificate from the engineer or surveyor of the Board of Trade, or from some other competent person to be named by such emigration officer, declaring that within seven days immediately preceding the date of such certificate, the apparatus has been examined by him and is then in good working condition, and stating the number of imperial gallons of pure fresh water which it is capable of producing in every twenty-four hours; and further, declaring that the apparatus on board is either Normandy’s or Winchester and Gravely’s Patent, as the case may be.

3. That in every case such emigration officer shall be satisfied that the number of gallons of pure water which the apparatus is so certified to be capable of producing, is not less than the whole number of persons about to proceed on the intended voyage of such ship—that is to say, the whole number of cabin passengers, passengers, and crew.

4. That there is rated on the ship’s articles, and that there is on board the ship, some person or persons who, to the satisfaction of the said emigration officer, shall be competent for the proper management and repair of such distilling apparatus.

And, to prevent all doubts on the construction of this Order in Council, it is hereby further ordered, that the terms “passenger ship,” “emigration officer,” “statute adult,” and “master,” shall herein have the same significations as are assigned to them respectively in the said “Passengers Act, 1855.”

And the most Noble the Duke of Newcastle, one of Her Majesty’s Principal Secretaries of State, is to give the necessary directions herein accordingly.
