ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE 35309

11th Feb: 1902

Report on Ordinance.

No 21 of 1902.

I have examined the accompanying Ordinance, entitled

An Ordinance to further amend The Pawnbrokers Ordinance, No. 3 of 1860,

and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to

the Governor's Instructions.

This is an amending Ordinance providing

Section 3. That all fees shall be payable yearly in advance,

but allowing licensees under certain circumstances to pay

quarterly.

Section 4. Amending the rates of interest.

Section 5. Altering the time at the expiration of which the

goods pawned shall become the property of the lender, and

in the case of the New Territory assimilating it to the

time already prescribed in the neighbouring Chinese province.

Henry Alabaster

Attorney General.
