Enclosure 2.

ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE 2 NOV 07

Hongkong,

27th September, 1904.

Report on Ordinance No. 9 of 1904

I have examined the accompanying Ordinance, entitled

An Ordinance to amend the Wild Birds and Game Preservation Ordinance, 1885,

and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to the Governor's Instructions.

The objects of this Ordinance are to make the commencement of the statutory close season for pheasants and partridges coincide with the commencement of the close season as already recognised in game licences, and to prevent the trapping of these birds during the close season, and to avoid the cruelty attendant upon keeping the live birds in confinement. It is intended to exempt from the operation of the Ordinance, under special licence from the Captain Superintendent of Police, the sale of birds as pets by Bird Fanciers.
