to
Sections XIX and XX, both inclusive, provide in a special manner for the dealing with Unlicensed Brothels, having regard to the peculiar circumstances of the Colony. I think better provision could not be made. As the declaration on oath was heretofore made by the Registrar General, to be founded on Evidence taken by him in the Court of Justice, it was thought fitting that in this instance it should be made to the Judge of the Court of Summary Jurisdiction, which is a Court of Record.

Sections XXX to XXXIII, both inclusive, probably contain as important provisions as any to be found in the Ordinance, for if outdoor prostitution be not jealously watched, it will be hopeless to expect that disease will be mitigated. Upon this subject, I should be glad to refer to a portion of paragraph 4 of the Report of the first Committee. It is to this effect: "The Committee are of opinion that a very considerable amount of prostitution takes place out of doors and in boats in the Harbour, between females not residing in Licensed houses and the Sailors and Soldiers of Her Majesty's Service and others."
30. Sections XXXIV to XLII, both inclusive, have relation to the establishment and regulation of Hospitals. It is manifest that the provisions will entail considerable expense, but the object to be attained seems worth it.
31. Section XLIII requires no comment.
32.
Sections XLIX to LIII are re-enactments of certain clauses of the "Contagious Diseases Ordinance 1866" (Imperial). It will therefore be unnecessary to make any special comments on them.
33. Section LXII is in substance a re-enactment of Ordinance No. 12 of 1857. So, whilst the two following Sections correspond with Sections XXIII and XIX of the same Ordinance, the residue of the Ordinance under consideration, relating as it does to matters of the appointment of Officers, legal procedure, need not further be noticed.
34. In conclusion, I am of opinion that this Ordinance is calculated to prevent the spreading of Venereal Disease, and if approved by Her Majesty's
