REASON FOR AMENDMENT.
Laichikok and Stanley Prisons having been appointed houses of detention by G.N.'s 540 of 19.8.32 and 954 of 4.12.36, the provision by Ordinance of such houses has become unnecessary and sections 3 and 4 of the Ordinance are amended and combined accordingly.
These amendments are made for conformity with No.
4 of 1889, s. 3 (1), as amended by No. 14 of 1936.
Sections 63 and 64 of the Ordinance are now un- necessary. See No. 21 of 1922, s. 15, and No. 32 of 1935, s. 63.
The words by the verdict repealed by this amendment are surplusage (R. v. Ettridge 2 Cr. App. R. 62).
Section 80 is now unnecessary.
s. 66 (3).
See No. 32 of 1935,
The provisions of the more recent 7 Edw. 7, c. 17, s. 1 (2) & (8) and s. 6, are substituted for the provisions of the earlier 50 & 51 Viet. c. 25, ss. 1 & 2.
The regulations and tables contained in the Schedule to this Ordinance have been transferred under the powers contained in No. 51 of 1936 to the volume of Regulations corresponding to the first volume of the Ordinances. Consequential amendments have been made in the Ordinance relating to this transfer and the other amend- ments noted in this paragraph are mainly verbal.
This amendment is consequential on the amendment.
of section 5 of the Ordinance by No. 27 of 1930.
The provisions of the later 15 & 16 Geo. 5, c. 49,
s. 44, are substituted for the earlier provisions. of 36 & 37 Vict. c. 66, ss. 25 (10) & 25 (11).
This amendment is designed to bring the local prac-
tice into line with the current English practice.
The words deleted by this amendment have never been acted on and are in fact unnecessary in local circumstances.
A new sub-section (1) is added to section 362 of the Ordinance to make it clear that all questions relating to taxation are subject to review by the court.
Section 594 of the Ordinance is repealed as unneces- sary and misleading in that it apparently ex- cludes decisions in summary jurisdiction.
A summons book in the form prescribed by s. 626 of the Ordinance has never been kept: other records which are kept are sufficient and the section is therefore repealed as unnecessary.
