JOHN POPE HENNESSY, C.M.G., Governor and Commander-in-Chief. No. 2 of 1878.
An Ordinance enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, Title.
with the advice of the Legislative Council thereof, to amend Ordinance No. 4 of 1863.
[15th October, 1878.]
HEREAS doubts have arisen as to whether under sections Preamble.
WXI and XII of Ordinance No. 4 of 1863, punishments
directed to be inflicted for breach of regulations or of prison discipline by the Superintendent of the Gaol or the Superintend- ent in conjunction with a Justice of the Peace (as the case may be) can lawfully be carried out after the expiration of the term of imprisonment for which the offender was originally sentenced, and it is desirable to remove such doubts: Be it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-
I. All punishments imposed under the authority of sections XI and XII of Ordinance No. 4 of 1869, shall be valid and effectual to all intents and purposes, notwithstanding the expira- tion of the period for which the offender was originally sentenced to imprisonment by lawful authority, and the Superintendent of any Gaol may lawfully detain any prisoner after the expiration of his original sentence and deal with him, in carrying out the punishment imposed on such offender under the authority of sections XI and XII of Ordinance No. 4 of 1863, in all respects, as if his original sentence had not expired.
Passed the Legislative Council of Hongkong, this 15th day of October, 1878.

HEREAS it is expedient to amend an Ordinance enti- tled the "Markets Ordinance, 1858" by authorising the Governor in Council to grant licences to sell or expose for sale in places other than a public market articles of food for man usually sold or exposed for sale in a public market under the conditions hereinafter expressed: Be it enacted by the Governor of Hong- kong, with the advice of the Legislative Council, thereof as follows:-
I. Notwithstanding anything contained in the "Markets Or- dinance, 1858" or in the "Markets Ordinance, 1867," from and after the coming into operation of this Ordinance, it shall be law- ful for the Governor in Council, from time to time, to grant licen- ces for the sale of articles of food for man usually sold or exposed for sale in a public market elsewhere than in a public market to such persons for such considerations and for such periods as he shall think fit, and it shall be lawful for any person holding such licence to sell or expose for sale such articles as he may be em- powered to sell or expose for sale under such licence during the continuance of such licence.
