As regards prepared opim the new Ordinance
limits to 6 tasla the amount of the drug which may be sold
at one time,or which any person, other than the Opium
Farmer or his licensees, may have in his possession; and
increases largely the penalty for breaches of the sections
dealing with the import and export of morphine and com-
pounds of opium. It provides that prepared opium seized
with regard to which any breach of sections 35(7), (8),
(9), 36 and 37 (as amended by the B111 enclosed herein)
and sections 76 and 77 of the Principal Ordinance (copy of
which is enclosed for convenience of reference) shall be
forfeited to the Crown.
It increases the penalty for concealing
opium in any ship from a maximum fine of $500 to a maximum
fine of $2,000 or, at the discretion of the Magistrate,to
imprisonment for a period not exceeding 12 months. And it
makes important amendments in sections 76(2), 77 and 78 of
the Principal Ordinance.
5. It is anticipated that these alterations in
the law and in the conditions of the Opium Farmer's con-
trast,will result in a great diminution in smuggling of
opium from Hongkong sources. They aim at limiting the
supply to legitimate requirements and this must, in the
Case of a valuable and easily concealed artiole like opium,
be the surest method of prevention. This consideration
leads me to point out that prepared opium can be obtained
in Haoso and Kwong-chow-wan within easy reach of Hongkong,
and that until the supply in those places is limited to
legitimate local requirements so long is the smuggling of
prepared
