My Predecessor's departure from the Colony, I am not, of course, in a position to offer any personal opinion on the provisions of this Ordinance, having regard to my late arrival in Hong Kong.

At present, Hawkers are prohibited from uttering cries in that portion of the City which is almost entirely occupied by the English and Foreign residents, while
