Whereas by Ordinance No. 3 of 1862, intituled An Ordinance to authorise His Excellency the Governor by Proclamation to prohibit the Exportation of Military Stores and other Articles, as amended by Ordinance 3 of 1884, entitled “An Ordinance to amend Ordinance 3 of 1862," it is enacted that it should be lawful for His Excellency the Governor, by and with the advice of the Executive Council, by Proclamation to be published in the Hongkong Government Gazette, or in any Extraordinary Gazette, to prohibit, for such period as should be mentioned in such Proclamation, either to be exported from the Colony of Hongkong, or to be carried coastwise within the said Colony (amongst other things) Arms, Ammunition, Gunpowder, and Military and Naval Stores, subject to any permission that may be obtained under the last mentioned Ordinance.
And whereas in consequence of certain representations that have been made to me by the Govern- ment of the Empire of China, and for other reasons I have determined, with the advice of the Executive Council of this Colony, to prohibit such exportation for the period hereinafter mentioned: Now, therefore, I, Major-General GEORGE DIGBY BARKER, by and with the advice of the Executive Council of this Colony, do, by this Proclamation, for a period of six months from the date thereof, prohibit, either to be exported from the Colony of Hongkong, or to be carried coastwise within the said Colony, Arms, Ammunition, Gunpowder, and Naval and Military Stores; unless this Proclamation shall be in the meantime revoked, or unless permission shall have been obtained under Ordinance 3 of 1884.
By Command,
