Any person authorized to grant licences may at any time call upon 

 any licence-holder to produce his register for inspection. 



Every person holding a sportsman's licence shall likewise before leaving

 from which he embarks. 



If any holder of a licence fails to keep his register truly he shall 

 be guilty of an offence against this Ordinance. 



18. The Commissioner may revoke any licence when he is satisfied

 good faith.

22. Any person who, after having killed or captured animals to the 

 number and of the species authorized by his licence, proceeds to hunt,

 accordingly. 



23. Persons in the employment of holders of licences may, without 

 licence, assist such holders of licences in hunting animals, but shall not

In any case of a breach of this Ordinance the licence of every 

 licence-holder concerned in the breach shall be liable to forfeiture, and 

 such licence-holder shall be guilty of an offence.
