"where" at the beginning of the subclauses

would be preferable.

Suitability of the word "books" is doubtful

in subclause (2).

The word "such" in second line of

subclause (2) is superfluous,

This alternative draft is suggested:

"The Governor in Council may, in is discretion,

order that any exempted society or registered

society be dissolved where he is satisfied that

any such society is being used for purposes

prejudicial to or incompatible with peace, welfare

or good order in the Colony”.

Add the words "and the registration thereof,

if it is a registered society, shall be cancelled".

The words "of the society" should be added
