THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 26TH MAY, 1877.
The 38th section of the English Companies Act of 1867 has been inserted and forms the 37th section of the present Ordi-
nance.
In consequence of this insertion, there has been a re-numbering of the subsequent sections.
In the proviso at the end of section 20th, the following words have been introduced at the beginning of the proviso
" that the amount in which each share is so reduced shall in no case be less than one-fourth of the amount of the original share.”
Section 41st of the Ordinance as originally introduced has been struck out, as there seems to be no reason now why the Ordinance should not be brought into operation upon the day it is passed.
