Report on an Ordinance entitled
An Ordinance to exempt certain securities on imported
goods from the operation of the Bills of Sale Ordinance,
1886.
202
A
The object of the Ordinance is to introduce into this
Colony the provisions of the Bills of Sale Act, 1890, as
amended by the Bills of Sale Act, 1891,
The Hongkong Bille
of Sale Ordinance, 1886, was modelled on the English statutes
existing at the time of its introduction, and it has been found
desirable to incorporate in it the changes subsequently made
in the law in England by the above Acts.
In my opinion this is an Ordinance to which His Exoellenoy
the Governor may properly assent in the name of His Majesty
and on His behalf.
Attorney General.
