Forms of documents and instructions as to registry.

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
thereto as circumstances permit; and the Commissioners of Customs may, with
the consent of the Board of Trade, make such alterations in the forms so
prescribed, and also in the forms set out in the first part of the said
schedule, as they may deem requisite.

(2) A registrar shall not be required without the special direction of the
Commissioners of Customs to receive and enter in the register book any bill of
sale, mortgage, or other instrument for the disposal or transfer of any ship
or share, or any interest therein, which is made in any form other than that
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
same, either free of charge, or at such moderate prices as they may direct.

(4) The Commissioners of Customs, with the consent of the Board of Trade, may
also, for carrying into effect this Part of this Act, give such instructions
to their officers as to the manner of making entries in the register book, as
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.
