Report on Ordinance No. . .19 ... of 1911 .
I have examined the accompanyiny Ordinance entitled "An Ordinance to autho-
-rise the publication of a Newly Revised Edition of the Statute
Laws of the Colony"
au I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to the Governor's Instructions,
It has been the practice in the Colony to issue a revised edition
of the Ordinances from time to time as the existing stocks became exhausted.
The last Revised Edition was under taken by Sir John Carrington a former
Chief Justice whose edition was authorised by Ordinance No. 12 of 1900.
Sir Francis Piggott the Chief Justice has undertaken to prepare the new
edition which is now called for and this Ordinance is his authority.

Attorney General.
