23. Leper unlawfully landed may be returned to the place whence he or she came
Every leper unlawfully landing as aforesaid may be brought before a magistrate who may examine such leper and any witness on oath touching the place from which he or she was brought into Saint Lucia, and may cause the leper to be removed to the place from which he or she was brought in such manner as the Governor General may direct, and the reasonable cost of such inquiry and removal shall be borne and paid by the master or other person in charge of the vessel by which the leper was brought to Saint Lucia, by whose act or default the leper was permitted to land, and such cost may be sued for and recovered before the First District Court as a debt due to the Crown.
