Report on Ordinance 3 of 1907.
I have examined the accompanying Ordinonce, entitled
An Ordinance to amend the Criminal Law
certain indecent outrages
40
8 regards
and assaults.
and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to
the Governor's Instructions.
Section 2 of this Ordinance extends to this Colony the provisions of section eleven of the English Criminal Law Amendment Act, 1883. When the various sections of Part I of that Act which is headed Protection of Women and Girls" were considered with a view to their being embodied in our local legislation relating to that subject, section eleven which is out of place in Part I of the English Act was omitted.
Section 3 is simply a reproduction of the second section of the English Criminal Law Amendment Act, 1880.
It
is desirable that both those enactments which have been, for several years, in force in Eugland, should be made applicable to this Colony.
