1. WHEREAS it hath been ordered by the Queen's Most Excellent
Majesty, by and with the advice of her Majesty's Privy Council as
follows :—
AT THE COURT AT WINDSOR,
THE 15TH OF JANUARY, 1842.
Present:
THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.
HlS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT.
Lord President.
Lord Privy Seal.
Lord Steward.
Lord Chamberlain.
Earl of Jersey.
Earl of Ripon.
Lord Stanley.

Whereas it is probable that the laws now in force in British India for
preventing the emigration of the inhabitants thereof to her Majesty's
colonial possessions will be shortly repealed so far as regards emigration
to the island of Mauritius, and that such last-mentioned emigration will
be sanctioned by laws to be for that purpose enacted in India, subject to
various provisions to be in such laws made for the protection of such emi-
grants, and for the prevention of abuses: And whereas it is probable that
amongst the provisions so to be made as last aforesaid, will be a provision
for enabling the Governor-General of India to appoint, at ports or places in
India, officers charged with the care, protection, and superintendence of all
persons proposing to emigrate as labourers from India to Mauritius. And
whereas it is probable that provision will be made by law at Mauritius for
defraying from the public revenue of that island the expense of intro-
ducing emigration thither from British India: And whereas it is neces-
sary that effectual provision should be made by law at Mauritius for
regulating any such expenditure, and for the prevention of abuses in the
introduction of emigrants from British India into that island,—it is there-
fore hereby ordered by the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty, by and with
the advice of her Majesty's Privy Council, that in the event of any law
* The operation of this Act was restricted to Calcutta by Act XXI. 1843, but by Act VIII.
1847, it was extended to the port of Madras, and by Act IV. 1852, to the port of Bombay ;
so that the Act is now in force at the three ports as it was when first passed.
