In the Gazetta of Sarday is published text of the Excino Ordinance (Opium) Amondaiont Ordinance of 1882. The bill provides that masters of ships which arrive

in the waters of the Colony and have pre- pared or boiled opium on board in transit to any other place, must-furnish a written declaration to the Harbour Master from

whom he will obtain a permit, but this will. not constitute a permit for the possession of the opium until countersigned and soaled by the Opium Farmer. Pending the receipt of this permit the master of any. vessel having opium on board shall keep a special flag flying. Should the opium have to be transhipped here this must be stated in the declaration to the Harbour Master. On the completion of the transhipment the master will hand over the permit to the Captain of the vessel into which the oplum has been transhipped.
