ATTORNEY GENERAL'S CHAMBERS,
Hongkong.....Anti.Senta.he1917.
REPORT ON ORDINANCE No...20...................of, 191 7.
I have examined the accompanying Ordinance intituled
An Ordinance to amend the Special Police Reserve Ordinance, 1914, and to remove doubts as to the effect of the proclama- tion made under section 10 of the said Ordinance on the third day of September, 1915
and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to the
Governor's Instructions.
The principal objects of this Ordinance are as follows:-
(a) To alter the technical title of the Special Police
Reserve force to the title which is in general use, 1.e., the Hongkong Police Reserve.
(b) To provide for the punishment of inor breaches of
discipline by mambers of the Hongkong Police Reserve
in a way which will not involve the publicity of pro- ceedings before a magistrate and which will be more
in accordance with the procedure in the case of other
police and military organisations.
