362.—(1) The authority having the control of any docks or basins at any port in the British Islands from which emigrant ships are despatched, may, with the approval of a Secretary of State, make byelaws—

(a) for specifying the docks, basins, or other places at which persons arriving by sea at the port for the purpose of emigration, or actually emigrating therefrom, shall be landed and embarked;

(b) for regulating the mode of their landing and embarkation;

(c) for the storing and safe custody of their luggage;

(d) for licensing porters to carry their luggage or otherwise attend upon them; and

(e) for admitting persons to and excluding persons from access to the docks and basins.

(2) The authority may attach a fine not exceeding five pounds to a breach of any such byelaw, and instead of an emigration officer the authority shall sue for and recover the fine.

(3) The authority making a byelaw under this section may, by their officers or servants or by any constable, arrest without warrant any person charged with a breach of the byelaw, and detain him until he can be brought before a justice of the peace, and that justice may try the case in a summary manner.

(4) A byelaw made under this section shall be published in the London Gazette.
