THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 5TH SEPTEMBER, 1874.
Statement of objects and reasons.
This Ordinance is introduced under directions from the Secretary of State, in order to correct two verbal errors in No. 3 of 1874, in sections III and V (10), and to restore to schedule E, the regulations rumbered II, III and the latter part of VIII. These form part of the schedule to the Chinese Pas- sengers Act of 1855, and were, therefore, omitted from the consolidation, but it is thought better to include everything in one Ordinance.
Ordinance No. 3 of 1874 is repealed, and this Ordinance substituted. The only difference between the two being the foregoing additions and corrections; a verbal alteration in section VI (11), and the omission of the suspending clause by direction of the Secretary of State.
