t

law of England in force on the 5th of April,1843, has

been introduced into llong Kong by the local Legislature

it is contended by the Colonial Office that it is open

to that Legislature to modify or limit any provisions

of English law so introduced; that this power has

been asserted by that Legislature in section 5 of the

Supreme Court Ordinance, 1873, and (quite apart from any such assertion) is included in its general power to

legislate for the peace, order and good government of

the Colony (see Letters Patent of 14th February, 1917,

clause VII and similar provisions in previous Lettera

Patent, and see also, as to the significance of "peace,

order and good government" the Judgment of the Privy Council in Riel v.the Queen L.R.10 App.Cas.at p.678);

that the power to alter the law of England in its

application to the Colony is limited only by the

provisions of the Colonial Lawe Validity Act as to Acts

of Parliament "extending to the Colony";

and that no

Hong Kong Ordinance is void under that Act or otherwise

for repugnancy to the common law of England including

the law relating to the writ of Habeas Corpus.
