The
In the enclosed Return the last case mentioned is one that came before two Magistrates, the Honourable NG Chor and myself, and will shew the class of craft employed. Offender was convicted and his cargo and vessel were ordered to be forfeited---Sub-section 14, Section 38 of Ordinance 8 of 1879. The owner of the Opium appealed to the Supreme Court against this decision, and the Magistrates' finding was reversed, as the vessel was not held to be a "Junk or seagoing vessel and therefore did not come within the meaning of
the Ordinance,
1877.
