The Government Inspector's Office, 1850. Creator: Unknown

The Government Inspector's Office, 1850. British emigrants being checked before leaving for the colonies:..no passenger-ship is allowed to proceed until a medical practitioner appointed by the emigration office of the port shall have inspected the medicine-chest and passengers, and certified that...the passengers are free from contagious disease. All persons who may be discovered to be affected with any infectious disease...are to be re-landed, with those members of their families, if any, who may be dependent on them, or unwilling to be separated from them, together with their clothes and effects. Passengers re-landed are entitled to receive back their passage-money, which may be recovered from the party to whom it was paid, or from the owner, charterer, or master of the ship, by summary process, before two or more justices of the peace. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
