This Ordinance approx

Ine to require amendments.

Provision should be made

in sect. 4 for the exclusion

of Sunday in the computation

of time, and I have to point out

and suggest to you

at once

to you the expediency

of providing for it

by adding to the said

section the words "unless

the last day shall happen

to fall on a Sunday in

which case the time shall

be reckoned exclusively

of it".

As the English rule of Court, in which a

provision is made for the last day happening to fall on a Sunday, Good Friday, or days of public fast or thanksgiving, I adopted

the same. And it will be for you to consider whether in making necessary

amendments to which

I have referred, it will not be well to make provision for these days also, as within English rules of Court, in order to assimilate the

matter as to

computation of time to those of England.

I take this opportunity

of expressing the regret with

which I have learnt of the

illness of Mr. James Hale,

the Attorney General of Hong Kong.
