Enclosure 2 in No. 30.
A REPORT ON AN ORDINANCE ENTITLED " THE Game Ordinance, 1913.”
1. A draft of this Ordinance has been submitted to the Secretary of State, and in despatch, No. 34, of the 20th of January, 1913, he approved its enactment subject to certain observations.
2. Paragraph 3 of that despatch observes that no general prohibition of the hunting, killing, or capturing of the animals enumerated in the fourth Schedule appears to have been inserted in the Ordinance, and suggests that the insertion of a clause containing such a general prohibition is desirable. It is, however, submitted that, inasmuch as all the animals enumerated in the fourth Schedule are included in the third Schedule, such a general prohibition is, in fact, included in Section four, and that the difficulty will be met if it is made abundantly clear in the Ordinance that no animal can be inserted in the fourth Schedule unless included in the third. This has been done by amendments to Section fourteen and the fourth Schedule and in the form of the third Schedule, which has been entirely re-written by His Excel- lency the Governor.
3. The other amendments suggested in the above-quoted despatch have been effected.
4. In addition a clause has been added to Section five on the lines of Section six (2) of the East Africa Game Ordinance, 1909; and the fee prescribed in Section twenty-one for a licence to kill a second elephant has been doubled, the fees now being Rs. 150 for the first elephant and Rs. 300 for the second, or Rs. 450 for two.
5. In my opinion this Ordinance may properly be enacted by His Excellency the Governor.
