REPORT ON ORDINANCE NO.24 OF 1898.
I have examined the accompanying Ordinance, en-
"An Ordinance to amend and consolidate the law
relating to Intoxicating Liquor Licenses",
9
and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not
contrary to the Governor's Instructions.
Annually, in advance.
This Ordinance, while reproducing substantially the provisions of Ordinance No. 21 of 1886, as amended by Ordinance No. 11 of 1894, endeavours to remedy sonie defects and omissions which experience has shown to exist in the law relating to Spirit Licenses.
The Ordinance of 1886 provided no license for the whole- sale sale of Chinese wines and spirits, apparently through inadvertence, nor was any provision made for the sale of Chinese wines. Then, again, no suitable license was pro- vided for Chinese restaurants, while the question as to what were the rights (if any) of auctioneers selling for unlicensed principals or upon unlicensed premises, was left untouched. The question is now decided by the pre- sent Ordinance, and the solution is based on the experience gained in England. A reference to the Acts, 6 George 4 cap. 81 sec. 8, 8 Vist. cap. 15 sec. 6, and 27 and 28 Vict., rap 50 sec. 14, shows the history of the matter in the mother country, and section 34 of this Ordinance mainly topts the English law, with the necessary local modifica-
tions,
