Hongkong,
29th October, 1904.
Report on Ordinance No. 14 of 1904.
I have examined the accompanying Ordinance, entitled
An Ordinance to give effect to Article VIII of
the Brussels Sugar Convention, 1902
and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to
the Governor's Instructions.
The purpose of this measure is to give effect in the Colony to Article VIII of the Brussels Sugar Convention, 1902, by empowering the Governor-in-Council to make such regulations as he shall deem necessary for the said purpose, and by prohibiting the importation of bounty-fed sugar.

Attorney General.
