Colonial Court of Admiralty or Vice-Admiralty Court, as the case may be, a
statement on oath, specifying so far as possible, and so far as those
particulars are applicable, the particulars set out in the first part of the
Nineteenth Schedule to this Act, and also in the case of the master or other
person his willingness to execute a bond in the form, so far as circumstances
will permit, set out in the second part of that schedule.
