63.—(1) The owner or master of every ship carrying any petroleum-spirit or explosive or any substance the importation of which is prohibited or controlled under section 36 shall, on entering any harbour in the State, give notice of the nature of such cargo to the harbour master.
|
|
| |
(3) It shall be a good defence to a charge for a contravention of this section to prove that neither the owner nor the master knew the nature of the goods in respect of which the proceedings are taken, and that neither of them could, with reasonable diligence, have obtained such knowledge.
