REPORT ON ORDINANCE No

of 1933.

62807/29
1.
I have examined the accompanying Ordinance, intituled an Ordinance to amend further the Supreme Court Ordinance, 1873, and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not
contrary to the Governor's instructions.
2.
This Ordinance repeals sections 9, 10 and 11 of the principal Ordinance, No. 3 of 1873, as amended by Ordinance
No.1 of 1929, and re-enacts them in a redrafted form which
clarifies the procedure and effect of the appointment of
permanent and temporary judges of the Supreme Court.
3.
In the new section 9 the old sub-sections (2) and (3)
as amended in 1929 are redrafted and consolidated as sub-
section (2).
4. In the new sub-section 10 (1) the words "In case the office of the Chief Justice or of any Puisne Judge" are
substituted for the words "In case the office of any judge in the permanent service of the Colony", and correspondingly alterations have been made in sub-section 10 (2).
