9. Clause 5 of this Bill repeals certain words in section 2 of the Peace Preservation Ordinance, 1886, restricting the power of appointment of special constables to occasions on which a tumult, riot or felony has taken place or is immediately apprehended, and substitutes a general power of appointment of special constables at any time upon the authorization of the Governor, thereby bringing the local law into line with the English law, as amended by the Special Constables Acts, 1914, (4 & 5 Geo. 5, c. 61) and 1923 (13 & 14 Geo. 5, c. 11).
