bill that has been read a first time

by the Legislative Council entilled

An Ordinance enacted by the Governon

"A Stouchong with the advice of the Lequelative

Conneil thereof, to establish a Spirit

Farm in the Colony and to consolidate

and armend the Ordinances relating

to Distilleries and to the sale of "Spirituous and Fermented Liquors

"(

Mr Rufell, the Acting Attorney

General, has drawn this bill

on the

model of the Spirit Farm Ordinance

争论

of the Straits Settlements. If it

should become law I believe it

will enable me to add frot Sixty to righty thousand Dollars

a year

to the permanent revenue

of the Colony.

It will be

f

some use also

in providing

a more effectual

check on the sale of deleterious

Spirits in Houtkong.

I have the hour to be,

Sir,

Your Most Obedient Humible Servant.
