In the case of any contravention of this Law or of the licence by the holder of a licence or by any attorney, agent or employee of such holder, the Governor may call upon the holder of the licence to show cause within a time specified why his licence should not be revoked; and should he fail to comply with such order within the time specified, or should the cause shown be inadequate in the opinion of the Governor, the Governor may, by notice in the Gazette, (a copy of which notice shall be forwarded to the last known address of the holder) summarily revoke such licence and thereupon all privileges and rights conferred thereby or enjoyed thereunder, shall as from the date specified in the notice of such revocation, cease and the deposit may be declared forfeited to the Crown by the Governor:
always that such revocation shall not in any way affect the liability of any person in respect of a breach of this Law committed by him before such revocation.
