Report by the Acting Attorney General
on Ordinance No 20 of 1870.
Attorney General's Office, Hongkong
Hong Kong 12th December 1896.
I have examined the accompanying Ordinance entitled "An Ordinance to provide for compensation being paid toPawnbrokers in certain cases," and am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to the Governor's Instructions.
The object of this Ordinance is to assimilate our local law to that in force in England by empowering the Court, if it thinks fit, to award some compensation.
