The "Gazette" contains the draft of an Ordinance to amend the Merchant Shipping (No. 2) Amend- .ment Ordinance, 1934.. and the Merchant Shipping Ordinance. 1899. as amended in 1935.
Section 5 of the Merchant Ship- ping (No. 2) Amendment Ordin- ance, 1934 repealed the first three sub-sections of section 41.of the principal Ordinance and substitut- ed three new sub-sections. The new sub-section (2) provided that where by or under any of the Mer- chant Shipping. Acts' functions are required to be performed by the Governor, such function may be performed by the Governor or by any public officer nominated for the purpose by him.
Ordinance No. 25 of 1934, is not yet in force, as by section 7 thereof its operation is suspended pending the notification of His Majesty's pleasure thereon.
The object of clause 2 of the draft Bill is to repeal the new sub- section (2) of section 41 of the I principal Ordinance. It will not affect, however, the repeal of the former sub-section 41 cffected by the first paragraph of Section 5 of Ordinance No. 25 of 1934.
