game - played in

a manner/

similar to the Italian

very game of

"Morra". The Chinese, especially of

the lower orders,

are greatly addicted

to it, and when played for many hours consecutively by six or seven players at night in the neighbourhood of European residences, as is frequently the case, it forms an effectual preventive of sleep. Its prohibition, like that of Street cries, will only

extend to certain districts.

The noisy, offensive, and ___ dangerous trades - provided against by Section ✓ have now

become a

serious annoyance in some

neighbourhoods, and are

found

to

require

an easy and effective remedy than the existing state of the law affords.

It will be observed that

to this class of nuisances, and

the game of "Chai Mur", the remedy

can only be enforced by

Summary Summons taken out in the ordinary way.

Section VI was inserted at the instance of the Acting Chief Justice and seems to afford

a useful safeguard in certain cases.

Section 1 incorporates the Ordinance with that of No. 11 of

1845.

I must point out in conclusion
