By His Excellency Sir WILLIAM ROBINSON, Knight Commander of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies, and Vice-Admiral of the same.

Whereas by Ordinance No. 3 of 1862, intituled An Ordinance to authorise His Excellency the Governor by Proclamation to prohibit the Exportation of Military Stores and other Articles, as amended by Ordinance 3 of 1884 entitled An Ordinance to amend Ordinance 3 of 1862, it is enacted that it should be lawful for His Excellency the Governor, by and with the advice of the Executive Council, by Proclamation to be published in the Hongkong Government Gazette, or in any Extraordinary Gazette to prohibit for such period as should be inentioned in such Proclamation, either to be exported from the Colony of Hongkong, or to be carried coastwise within the said Colony (amongst other things) Arms, Ammunition, Gunpowder and Military and Naval Stores, subject to any permission that may be obtained under the last mentioned Ordinance.

And whereas by Proclamation dated the 1st day of October, 1891, such exportation and carriage coastwise were prohibited for a period of Six months from the date thereof, and whereas I have determined, with the advice of the Executive Council of this Colony, that it is expedient to continue and extend such prohibition for the period hereinafter mentioned:

Now, therefore, I, Sir WILLIAM ROBINSON, by and with the advice of the Executive Council of this Colony, do by this Proclamation prohibit for a further period of Six months from the 1st day of April, 1892, either to be exported froin the Colony of Hongkong, or to be carried coastwise within the said Colony, Arms, Ammunition, Gunpowder, and Naval and Military Stores, unless this Procla- mation shall in the meantime be revoked, or unless permission shall have been obtained under Ordi.
