Hongkong, 2nd October 1903.
Report on Ordinance No. 10 of 1906.
I have examined the accompanying Ordinance, entitled "An Ordinance to amend the New Territories Land Ordinance 1905" and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to the Governor's Instructions.
The object of this Ordinance is to attach a clear and more comprehensive meaning to the word "land" as used in the New Territories Land Ordinance 1905 and to remove a doubt that at present exists whether rent is included, as was intended, in the word "land" within the meaning of the Ordinance.
