As to the particular mode we be followed. in introducing this registration of part- ners, the opinion of the foreign com. munity would seem to have been divided at the time, some advocating the intro- duction of a new Registration Ordinance, whilst others thought all that was re quired was to extend the provisions of 1865) to all private firms having part- the Companies' Ordienace (No. 1 of
