ATTORNEY GENERAL'S CHAMBERS,

27th September, 1910.
Report on Ordinance No.. 27. ... of 1910.
I have examined the accompanying Ordinonce, entitled
An Ordinance to further amend the Law relating to Dangerous
Goods
and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to the Governor's
[astruction,
650
This Ordina ce amends section 10 of the Dangerous Goods Ordinance, 1873, (Ordinance 1 of 1873) so as to give a more ex- -tended meaning to the "keeping" of dangerous goods, e.g× 1 dynamite.
Section 10 (1) read "dangerous goods to which this Ordinance applies shall not be kept except in pursuance of a licence". The Police authorities complain that the meaning of "kept" is challenged and that it is contended that "possession" of dynamite is not illegal as distinct from "keeping" (which means "storing").
