4. In section 30A of the Summary Offences Ordiuance, Amendment 1845, the figure “82," is deleted.
of Ordinance No. 1 of
1845, s. 304.
Objects and Reasons.
The object of this Ordinance is firstly to repeal section 70 of the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance, 1903, which authorised the seizure of unmarked meat and which is unnecessary, as much meat may be lawfully sold and consumed in the Colony which does not bear the official mark of the Government slaughter houses; and secondly. to repeal section 82 of the Ordinance as enacted by the amending Ordinance of 1928, (No. 19 of 1928, s. 8) and to substitute two sections therefor based partly on that section and partly on the sections it replaced. These sections deal with the sale, possession, inspection, seizure and destruction of unwholesome food. The reference to section 82 of the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance in section 30A of the Summary Offences Ordinance is deleted because it is not considered necessary and because So far as the power of the penalty has been increased. arrest given by that section is concerned section 27 of the Police Force Ordinance (Ordinance No. 11 of 1900) provides all that is considered necessary.
December, 1930.
