Objects and Reasons.
The objects of this Bill are twofold.
First-To repeal section 45 of Ordinance No. 8 of 1860 relating to the Probate Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court. That section provides for the payment of the net amount of intestates' estate from $100 and opwards to the Colonial Treasurer and for the keeping of accounts by him, &c. As a matter of practice the section has been constantly ignored and for a period of about 20 years, tho accounts of these estates have been regulated by departamental instruc- tions. These instructions have worked well in practice and are deemed satisfactory. They are, however, incon- sistent with the provisions of section 45. The necessity for the repeal is therefore obvious.
Secondly--To amend scheduled to Ordinanco No. 1 of 1883 relating to distraints for rent. By that schedule a fee of 25 cents per day is allowed for a watchmon in charge of a house or premises under distraint. The fee is found too small to secure the services of a respectable Chinaman. It is therefore proposed to raise it to 50 cents per day and by amending the Ordinance to legalize the change.
