To prove.

We venture to hope that the views we have expressed will throw light on the proposed Ordinance, and we would, with all respect to His Excellency and the Legislative Council, point out that in all legislation affecting the liberty of action of Shipowners it behoves a Government to exercise extreme caution in framing new Laws which in any way tend to press upon or interfere with the interests of Shipping.

We have to express our depreciation.
