ATTORNEY GENERAL'S CHAMBERS.

Hongkong!

6th September 19 09..

Report on Ordinance No 23

of 19 09.

I have examined the accompanying Ordinance, entitled

An Ordinance to amend and consolidate the Laws relating

to Opium and its compounds

and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is nos contrary to

the Governor's Instructions

This Ordinance consolidates with some small amendments

previous Ordinances relating to opium and morphia, and puts an

end to the confusion which occasionally arose in the past

from the necessity to refer to several Ordinances for the law on the subject.

The Ordinance will enable tenderers for the Opium Farm to know exactly what the existing law is.
