1.
I have examined the accompanying Ordinance. intituled an
Ordinance to Provide for and Regulate Industrial and
Reformatory Schools, and I am of opinion that the Ordinance
is one which is not contrary to the Governor's instructions.
This Ordinance was one of the two drafted by the
Committee appointed to report on the measures required for
the institution of Juvenile Courts in Hong Kong.

As stated in the Committee's Report it contains all
the main provisions of the old Reformatory Schools
Ordinance, No. 11 of 1901, which it repeals, and it provides
generally for the institution and regulation of such
establishments.
14. It is closely modelled on the English law and the
Straits Settlements Ordinance No. 47, with only such
amendments as the Committee considered necessary to suit
local conditions.
