OPPOSED
DR. KOTEWALL FORCES A DIVISION
LIQUORS ÒRDINANCE
Because, he submitted, it is contrary to the spirit of English jurisprudence, the Hon. Dr. R. H. Kotewall, C.M.G., LL.D. (one of the three Chinese members), at yester- day's meeting of the Legislative Council, led the opposition to a piece of proposed legislature.
The second reading of “an Ordin- ance to amend the law relating to intoxicating liquors" had been moved and the Council had gone into Committee (conulating of the whole Council) to consider the Bill claves by clause. The following then occurred:-
the proposed new
Dr. Kotewall,--I beg to move that section 87A be deluted. I submit that this section is contrary to the spirit of English jurisprudence, As I understand it, no person, except as a witness in a properly constituted tribunal, is compelled by law to give informa- tion. According to Halebury, volume 13, page 674, even a witness before such a tribunal "may refusé to answer a question on the ground that the answer may tend to in- criminate him, that is, may tend to expose the witness or the husband or wife of the witness, to any kind of criminal charge or to any kind
of penalty or forfeiture."
Law of Privilege
The proposed section takes no cognisance of this well-known law of privilege extended to witnesses. Very often the man who is asked for information in these matters is the man who is likely in the end to get into trouble. He is here Engineer Company

The Attorney-General, in Intro- ducing the Bill, said:-Though the proposed power is perhaps a little unusual, it has a precedent in the Tobacco Ordinance which has ap parently worked satisfactorily for the last thirteen years. It seems to me that the fact that the power The Company will parade as already exists in another Ordinance strong as possible on Tuesday at is not sufficient reason for its 5.30 p.m. at H.Q. in mufti for M.G. multiplication.

China and Soviet Russia are reported to have reached an agreement, but no official confirmation has yet come from Nanking. In any event the latest developments are report- ed in the "Overland China Mail.”
But there is another war closer to Hong Kong. It is the momentous struggle in Kwangtung, for possession of Canton and mastery of the South. It has already proved a hindrance to trade and will have lasting evil effects if it continues. Business connections in the Old Country will certainly desire to be posted as to developments so as to keep abreast of the times. They will receive an "Overland China Mail" from you with thorough appreciation,
For the "Overland" invariably gives all the news, both "China" and "local." It is the only weekly budget of newn published in Hong Kong which carries illustrations. It explains all the intricacies of things Chinese.
In this week's issue, you can read about the premier social event of the Hong Kong season St. Andrew's Ball; all matters in the Colony-such as in the realm of sports, crime, legislature, trade, etc.—are fully dealt with. Be sure to get your copy. By sending it away you are helping to boost Hong Kong.
