Enclosure No.1.
Enclosure No.2.
uned
I have the honour to submit for the
signification of His Majesty's pleasure an Ordinance
intituled "An Ordinance to amend the Offences against the
Person Ordinance, 1865" and to enclose herewith the usual
report by the Attorney General thereon. As will be seen
from the Attorney General's report this legislation deals
to some extent with the question of 'Mui Tsai', and in
considering the question of strengthening the provisions
of the existing Female Domestic Service Ordinance, 1923, it
appeared advisable to clarify and amend the law relating to
Offences against the Person, in respect of minors.
