Report on Ordinance No.: . of 191/.
I have examined the accompanying Ordinance, entitled
"An Ordinance to amend the Stamp Duties Management
Ordinance, 1911.

"
and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to the Governor's
Instructions,
These amendments to the Principal Ordinance are introduced at the suggestion of His Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colon- ies who in a despatch dated the 6th. October, 1911, expressed a desire that section 14(1) should be slightly extended in its scope so as to more-closely follow the model of the Imperial Act (54 and 55 Vict.c.38 s.17) and that the meaning of the words "the chief office or one of the head offices" in the second proviso to section 19 should be made more
clear.
