Title.
Preamble,
Statement of Objects and Reasons.
The Ordinance No. 13 of 1867, hereby repealed, applied to this Colony the provisions of the Imperial Naval Stores Act of 1887:- and among them the sections which made it a misdemeanour, punishable by a year's imprisonment, for any person to receive, possess, keep, sell, or deliver without authority (proof of which authority lay upon the accused), any stores bearing the Queen's mark.
The Act of 1867 was repealed in 1869 and re-enacted without the sections above referred to; and as the naval authorities are now in the habit of selling old stores without obliterating the marks, and the purchasers are liable to the penalties of the above sections, it is necessary to assimilate the Colonial Law to the Imperial Act of 1869.
No other change is made in the repealed Ordinance, beyond a few verbal alterations, and omitting the prohibition to search for stores within a hundred yards of the boundary wall of the Mint.
JOHN BRAMSTON, Attorney General,
Hongkong, 28th June, 1875.
An Ordinance enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice of the Legislative Council thereof, to provide for the Devolution of the Site of St. Paul's College, and to provide means for altering the Statutes of the said College.
