Ordinance.
21.
Section 21 of this Ordinance also inserts a
new section based on sections 17 and 18 of the Opium
Ordinance, 1923, Ordinance No. 30 of 1923, to prevent
the improper possession of labels, wrappers or marks
issued by the Superintendent of Imports and Exports,
and to prevent the possession of fraudulent imitations
of such labels wrappers or marks.
22.
Section 22 of this Ordinance effects amendments
in section 89 of Ordinance 9 of 1911, so as to make
it similar to section 59 of the Tobacco Ordinance, 1916,
but with the additional option given to the magistrate
similar to that which is given to him by section 39 (3)
of the Opium Ordinance, 1923, Ordinance No. 30 of 1923, of
imposing, if he thinks fit, a fine not exceeding two
thousand dollars in lieu of a fine not exceeding ten
times the duty. The reason for this latter addition
is that there are many serious offences such as keeping
an illicit still, or manufacturing bogus brandy from
smuggled spirits of wine, in which very little liquor may
be seized.
23. Section 23 of this Ordinance enables the Governor
in Council to make regulations in regard to the
manufacture possession and sale of denatured spirits,
in addition to the other matters enumerated in section
95 of the principal Ordinance.
24.
Sections 24 and 25 of this Ordinance remove all
reference to eating house licences from the Schedules to
the principal Ordinance.
