All the ships employed in this service will be under the provisions of the Passenger Act.

9. It is to be distinctly understood that, notwithstanding applications may have been granted at money order Post Offices, the Immigration Officers aforesaid are empowered to object to any of the emigrants so nominated being sent out, either from unsuitability of occupation or from any other cause;

and the Agent-General in London will have power to refuse passages where the intending emigrants are in ill-health, or in any way unfitted, according to his judgment, to undertake the voyage.
