such amendments of the schedule to Ordinance No. 6 of
1913 should not be scattered throughout various enact-

Presumably the term * revenue officer" in
Ordinance No.8 of 1913 refers to revenue officers under the Liquors Consolidation Ordinance, 1911, as this ap- pears to be the effect of the definition of the term in
the Interpretation Ordinance, 1911. Revenue officers also exist under the Opium Ordinance, 1914, and will probably also exist in the future under the Tobacco Ordinance,
1916. It did not seem, however, necessary to insert any wider definition of revenue officer because in prac- tice the revenue officers under these three Ordinances, 1.e. Ordinance No.9 of 1911, 4 of 1914 and 10 of 1916, will always be the same persons.
Powers of arrest exist under each of the three
Ordinances tast referred to, but the power conferred by Ordinance No.6 of 1913 is in some respects wider than any power conferred by those three Ordinances.
In my opinion this is an Ordinance to which His Execllency the Governor may properly assent in the name of His Majesty and on His behalf.
