The question whether certain Regulations made under the Order of 189... would or would not be ultra vires appears to me now to be an academic question because the Ordinance expressly enables these particular regulations to be made.

With the exception of the two Unofficial Members of that Council it was unanimously advised that the Government should not recommend the alterations contemplated by the Petitioners.
