"party" is used elsewhere in the principal Ordinance in the
sections dealing with appeals. The other deletes the words
"or respondents" because they are not used elsewhere in the
and in any case "respondent" would include "res-
Ordinance, and in any case

Section 100 of the principal Ordinance provided that
a case stated might be amended by the magistrate at any time
before it had been set down for argument before the Full Court.
as it is possible for an appellant to set a case down as soon
as he receives it, this provision might not allow sufficient
time for the opposite party to consider the case and to apply
for amendment if he were so advised. Section 15 of this Ordi-
-nance therefore, amends section 100 so as to give the magi s-
-trate power to amend the case at any time before the commence-
-ment of the hearing by the Full Court. This will give the
opposite party sufficient time to make any necessary applica-
-tion because four clear days notice of the day appointed for
argument must be given to the other side. Section 100 of
the principal Ordinance is also amended so as to require the
transmission, service and setting down for argument of the
amended case just as if it were the original case.

Section 16 amends section 101 of the principal Ordi-
nance so as to require that notice that the case has beeil
set down shall be given to the Crown Solicitor as well as to
the opposite party.
18. Section 103 of the principal Ordinance did not ex-
ressly refer to the case where the party aggrieved wished
to appeal on the ground that there was no evidence on which
the magistrate could convict. Section 17 includes an express
reference to this case in section 103 of the principal Ordi-
-nance,
That will have the effect of applying to such an
appeal the provisions relating to appeals on the ground of
fact.
