65.(1) The several instruments and documents specified in the second part of
the First Schedule to this Act shall be in the form prescribed by the
Commissioners of Customs, with the consent of the Board of Trade, or as near

for the time being required under this Part of this Act, or which contains any
particulars other than those contained in such form; but the said
Commissioners shall, before altering the forms, give such public notice
thereof as may be necessary in order to prevent inconvenience.

(3) The Commissioners of Customs shall cause the said forms to be supplied to
all registrars under this Act for distribution to persons requiring to use the

to the execution and attestation of powers of attorney, as to any evidence
required for identifying any person, as to the referring to themselves of any
question involving doubt or difficulty, and generally as to any act or thing
to be done in pursuance of this Part of this Act, as they think fit.
