V most important provisions Section arms the Registrar General with Magisterial powers which he may exercise unreservedly subject nevertheless to the Appeal mentioned in Section: This provision is new and seems unexceptionable, certainly having regard to the wisdom and discretion of the Officer who now fills that post
I must here call attention to Ordinance No. 8 of 1858 whereby it will be perceived (See Sec. II) that the Registrar General is by virtue of his Office, the Protector of Chinese Inhabitants within this Colony," a circumstance which renders that officer singularly fit to have entrusted to him the working of this Ordinance. Moreover I believe no person has ever been appointed to the Office who is well acquainted with the Chinese language.
21. Sections III, IX and I contemplate the granting of a license in lieu of a mere registration. The provision in Section II giving to the Registrar General power to cancel or suspend a License will tend much not only to the furtherance of the special object of this Ordinance but to the maintenance of general order in Brothels.
22. Section III re-enacts in an improved form Section XXI of the Ordinance of 1857 and the same may be said of Section III in reference to a Section bearing the like number in such Ordinance. Section III will manifestly be very difficult to carry into practice for no reason, but there is no reason why it should not be inserted. Section XIV recommends itself.
24. Section XV may be described as amalgamating the provisions contained in Sections III and I of the Ordinance of 1857
25. Section XII contains some provision which must be in every whole. As under it there must be in every Brothel a responsible person who had a special interest in its character.
Section III by reference to an Ordinance very recently passed in effect enacts that where a fine has been imposed upon a person resident in any house and the Offender cannot be found the fine shall be recovered from the Householder.
Section XVII is a re-enactment of Section XIII of the Ordinance of 1857 with
