BEHRING SEA AWARD ACT 1894 - SECT 2

Provisions as to ship's papers.

2.(1) Where an officer seizes, under this Act, a ship's certificate of
registry, he shall either retain the certificate and give a provisional
certificate in lieu thereof, or return the certificate with an indorsement of
the grounds on which it was seized, and in either case shall direct the ship,
by an addition to the provisional certificate or to the indorsement, to
proceed forthwith to a specified port, being a port where there is a British
court having authority to adjudicate in the matter, and if this direction is
not complied with, the owner and master of the ship shall, without prejudice
to any other liability, each be liable to a fine not exceeding one hundred
pounds.

(2) Where in pursuance of this section a provisional certificate is given to a
ship, or the ship's cerificate is indorsed, any officer of customs in Her
Majesty's dominions or British consular officer may detain the ship until
satisfactory security is given for her appearance in any legal proceedings
which may be taken against her in pursuance of this Act.
