Explosives Act 1936

Upon the receipt of any such explosives at any Government magazine, licensed magazine, or licensed premises appointed by the Director under section 31 of this Act, the magazine-keeper, or person in charge of the licensed magazine or licensed premises shall give to the master or agent of the master, a receipt describing the packages containing the same, which receipt shall be deemed in law to maintain any lien which the master or owner of the ship or boat may have upon the said explosives therein described for freight or other lawful charges upon the same respectively. The master, owner, or agent of the master or owner shall forthwith give to the

Director notice in writing of any such lien.

Every person to whom any such explosives are consigned shall, within forty-eight hours after the arrival of the ship or boat at the port, deliver to the magazine-keeper or the person in charge of the licensed magazine or licensed premises a full description of the explosives, showing the quantity with the marks and numbers of the packages containing the same, which description the magazine-keeper or the person in charge of the licensed magazine or licensed premises shall enter, together with the name of such person, in a book to be kept for that purpose, and shall thereupon give a certificate of the entry to the said person.

No person shall be entitled to receive any explosives from any

Government magazine unless he produces to the Director or magazine-keeper such certificate, nor unless the storage and any other charges authorised by this

Act have been paid to the magazine-keeper, or other person authorised by the

Director to receive the same.
