No. 2 of 1846.
An Ordinance to amend Ordinance No. 6 of 1845, entitled "An Ordinance to repeal Ordinance No. 15 of 1844, for the Establishment of a Supreme Court of Judicature at Hongkong, and to substitute other Provisions in lieu thereof."
WHEREAS it is expedient to amend the said Ordinance No. 6 of 1845, by making provisions for the saving of all proceedings and all suits formerly depending in the Court of Hongkong, the abolition of which Court is effected by the second section of the said ordinance; as also with reference to the fourth section of the said ordinance, by limiting the operation, in this Colony, of the laws of England and the practice of the English Courts to such laws and practice as existed when a local legislature was first conferred on the said Colony: And whereas also it is deemed advisable to reserve to the Legislative Council of the said Island, the power of revising and approving of the rules and orders to be made under the twenty-third section of the said Ordinance No. 6 of 1845, before the same shall become binding; and to repeal the twenty-ninth section of the said ordinance, constituting a local Court of error and appeal:
1. Be it therefore enacted and ordained by His Excellency the Governor of Hongkong with the advice of the Legislative Council thereof, that from and after the passing of this Ordinance, the said twenty-ninth section of Ordinance No. 6 of 1845 shall be, and is hereby repealed.
2. And be it further enacted and ordained, that all proceedings formerly commenced in or adopted under the said former Court of Hongkong, and that all suits and matters (if any) which may have been pending at the date of its abolition, may be continued or revived in the said Supreme Court.
