Notice of ships carrying petroleum-

8. The owner or master of every ship carrying a cargo, any part of which
consists of petroleum-spirit shall, on entering any harbour within Northern
Ireland, give notice of the nature of the cargo to the harbour authority
having jurisdiction over the harbour, and if such notice is not given, the
owner and master of the ship shall each be guilty of an offence and shall be
liable on summary conviction thereof to a fine not exceeding [#100], or on
conviction thereof on indictment to a fine not exceeding five hundred pounds:

Provided that it shall be a good defence to proceedings for any such offence
to prove that neither the owner nor the master knew the nature of the goods in
respect of which the proceedings are taken, and that neither of them could,
with reasonable diligence, have obtained such knowledge.
