Report on Ordinance No.
of 190 2.
47......
I have examined the accompanying Ordinance, entitled
The New Territories Titles Ordinance, 1902
J
and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to
the Governor's Instructions.
It is desirable to provide a system of Land Tenure for the New Territories (exclusive of New Kowloon).
In the rest of the Territories there are some quarter of a million holdings often of a very low value.
The transfer of these and their transmission by inherit- ance is governed by custom of patriarchal origin. Society in general in the New Territories is not suited for the in- troduction of English Real Property Law.
Every original holder of land is to be treated as a cus- tomary landholder.
Dealings with customary land by transfer or by way of charge, and its transmission by inheritance are regulated "The by means of a system adapted from that known as Torrens System,”
Provision is made by which a customary landholder de- sirous of obtaining a Crown Lease may do so upon the surrender to the Crown of his customary rights in the land to be leased.
Persons taking up land from the Crown in the New Territories may at their option become customary land- bolders or they may obtain a Crown Lease and conie uuder the general law of the Colony.
