The Attorney-General (Sir Henry

Berkeley) has advised that this could be done by inserting

the word "steerage" between the words "twenty" and "pass"

-engers" in the 4th. line of the definition of a Chinese

Passenger Ship in the Chinese Emigration Ordinance, 1889,

and by repealing subsection (3) of Section 15 of that

Ordinance. The amending Ordinance would of course under

Section II of the Chinese Passenger Act of 1855 have to be

reserved for His Majesty's confirmation.

4.

It has, however, been pointed

out to me that the Regulations which the Legislature of

this Colony can enact by Ordinance under Section II of

that Act scarcely extend to a modification in the local

Ordinance of the definition of a Chinese Passenger Ship

which is embodied in Section I of the Imperial Act. The

Attorney-General is of opinion that they do so extend but

as I am in doubt on this point I refer it for Your Lord-

-ship's decision and at the same time I have the honour to
