(2) Where any printed or written newspaper or other publication containing
seditious matter is printed, published, or offered for sale within the limits of the
Order by a Company registered in the United Kingdom or in a British possession,
the Court may, after notice to the Company, and on proof of the facts, require the
Company to give security to abstain from such printing, publishing, or offering for
sale in future. If the Company fail to give security, or if the Company is shown to
have again printed, published, or offered for sale such newspaper or other publica¬
tion containing seditious matter after giving such security, the Court may make an
order prohibiting the Company from carrying on business within the limits of the
Order, and may make such other orders as to the Court may seem just. The Court
may also declare all the property of the Company within the limits of the Order to
be forfeited to His Majesty the King, and shall dispose of it, subject to any general
or special directions of the Secretary of State, as it thinks fit.
(3) Matter calculated to excite tumult or disorder, or to excite enmity between
His Majesty’s subjects and the Government of China or the Government of Corea,

Government of Corea and its subjects, shall be deemed to be seditious matter within
the meaning of this Article.

Court.

of the person deported and of the warrant, shall detain him, and shall forthwith
