10. The provisions of this Act shall not extend to immigrants brought
to Tasmania either wholly or partly at the expense of the Colony, nor
to shipwrecked mariners brought to Tasmania without charge by the
master of some other ship than that in which they were wrecked, nor to
her Majesty's land and sea forces.
[Sidenote: Recovery of
penalties.]
11. All penalties incurred under section 9 shall be recovered in a
summary way before any two or more Justices of the Peace in the mode
prescribed by the Magistrates' Summary Procedure Act (19 Vict., No. 8);

Appeals Regulation Act (19 Vict., No. 10).
NEW ZEALAND.
The Imbecile Passengers Act, 1882 (No. 58), is the same as the Tasmania
Act above cited, and need not, therefore, be set out in detail. The
only differences are--
(1.) The word "New Zealand" must be read throughout instead of
"Tasmania."
(2.) In secs. 3 and 5, "fourteen days" must be read for "seven days."
(3.) In sec. 4, after the words "maintenance or support of such
passenger," the words "by or in any public or charitable institution
in New Zealand" must be inserted.
(4.) In sec. 8, instead of the words from "defray" to the end,
the following must be read: "defray the charges incurred in such
maintenance or support, may be recovered on behalf of her Majesty in
the manner provided by the Crown Suits Act, 1881."
(5.) The following must be added as sec. 9:--
All moneys recovered or received under any such bond as aforesaid
shall be paid by the Commissioner to the public or charitable
institution, by or in which any such passenger #/ /# may have been
maintained or supported as aforesaid.
(6.) Instead of sec. 11 read as sec. 12:--
All penalties incurred under sec. 10 (sec. 9 of the Tasmanian Act)
shall be recoverable in a summary way before any two or more Justices
of the Peace.
