For
In noting up in the schedule to the Stamp Ordinance, 1921,
the amendments made by section 6 of thie Ordinance it will he
found that in some cases the sign "Do." will, in the octavo forme
of the Ordinances, give a wrong meaning unless it is read without
reference to the insertions made by this Ordinance.
example, the sign "Do." in the fourth column of Heading Wo. 15
will still refer to the word "Overeabosted" and not to the word
"Adhesive" and should be altered accordingly to "Overembossed."
It might be supposed that these formal alterations ought to have
been made by this bill. The reason why this has not been done
is that, as it happens, no such alterations are necessary in the
official copy of the
Ordinance, which is in foolscap form, and
in which the paging of the schedule is different from that in
the octavo form of the Ordinance.
The octavo form of the
Ordinances is the form in which they appear in the annual volume.
The lines of the sections are of the same length in both forma
of the Ordinances.
The copy of the Ordinance deposited in
the Registry of the Supreme Court is here described as the official
copy in reliance on the provisions of section 10 of the Interpre-
tation Ordinance, 1911. It would of course have been better
if the sign "Do." had not been used in the principal Ordinance
at all.

In my opinion this is an Ordinance to which His Excellency
the Governor may properly assent in the name of His Majesty and
on His behalf.
