Search for and seizure of explosive substances.

8.(1) Sections seventy-three, seventy-four, seventy-five, eighty-nine, and
ninety-six of the Explosives Act, 1875 (which sections relate to the search
for, seizure, and detention of explosive substances, and the forfeiture
thereof, and the disposal of explosive substances seized or forfeited),shall
apply in like manner as if a crime or forfeiture under this Act were an
offence or forfeiture under the Explosives Act, 1875.

(2) Where the master or owner of any vessel has reasonable cause to suspect
that any dangerous goods or goods of a dangerous nature which, if found, he
would be entitled to throw overboard in pursuance of the Merchant Shipping
Act, 1873, are concealed on board his vessel, he may search any part of such
vessel for such goods, and for the purpose of such search may, if necessary,
break open any box, package, parcel, or receptable on board the vessel, and
such master or owner, if he finds any such dangerous goods or goods of a
dangerous nature, shall be entitled to deal with the same in manner provided
by the said Act, and if he do not find the same, he shall not be subject to
any liability, civil or criminal, if it appears to the tribunal before which
the question of his liability is raised that he had reasonable cause to
suspect that such goods were so concealed as aforesaid.
