FORM No. 1.
DISTILLERY LICENCE.
The Liquors Consolidation Ordinance, 1911.
DISTILLERY LICENCE,
In cousideration of the fee of
1 hereby license him to have gallous capacity, at
dollars paid by stills, and to distil spirits
therewith, and to sell such spirits from this date until the
day of
3
191 in quantities of not less than two gallons of one liquor at one time, and not to he consumed on the premises.
Objects and Reasons.
The amendments (a) and (e) introduced into the Prin- cipal Ordinance by clause 2 of this Bill are due to the decision that Part I of the Principal Ordinance shall not be made to apply to any part of the New Territories other than New Kowloon. The Liquor Licences Ordin- ances 1898 and 1909 repealed by the Principal Ordin- ance did not apply to the New Territories (see Ordin- ance No. 34 of 1910 section 4) and it has been found inconvenient to apply the provisions of Part I of the Principal Ordinance thereto. The amendments (b) and (e) of the said clause are introduced because it has been found that the word " woman does not legally cover girls although it was clearly the intention of the framers of the Principal Ordinance and of the Legislative Council which passed it to include girls. The amend- ment (d) corrects a mistake in the Principal Ordin- ance. It re-introduces the provisions of section 32 (1) of Ordinance No. 8 of 1898 which were accidently omitted in the consolidation. The amendments (ƒ) to (r) inclusive are due to the introduction of a more simple set of forms. The amendment (s) is intended to make it clear that the provisions of section 6 of the Principal Ordinance are not meant to apply to those who import solely for export and (t) makes the mean- ing of section 6 (3) of the Principal Ordinance more clear. Clause 4 of the Bill is due to a suggestion by the Editor now engaged on revising the Ordinances to the effect that the term “ King's" warehouses is not quite an accurate description of the General Bonded Warehouses which are used.
