any Amendment which may be desirable in the Hong Kong Bankruptcy Ordinance, he should obtain information from the Straits for Amending Ordinance.

It is referred to the Report for 1892, a copy of the Report in Bankruptcy Ordinance about to be introduced in that Colony.

Some hints may be derived from this for the guide of the Hong Kong law, although Lord Ripon does not wish to imply that the Hong Kong Law on the subject should necessarily be made in all respects similar to that at the Straits.

Nicolle's Report that such interest is allowed.
