An
I have examined the accompanying Ordinance intituled
Ordinance to amend the Opium Ordinance, 1914, and the Opium Ordi-
nance, 1917,
and 1 am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to the
Governor's Instructions.
2.
Section 2 makes it clear that the tonnage referred to in sec-
tion 46 of the Opium Ordinance, 1914, is net register tonnage.
3.
Section 3 clears up a similar ambiguity in section 49 of the
Opium Ordinance, 1914.
'
Section 4 corrects a drafting error in section 57 of the Opium
Ordinance, 1914. This error was pointed out in paragraph 4 of
4.
