The section was I understand intended to impose an additional

check on the unlawful sale of liquor by unlicensed persons

but the section was found to be an undue interference with the

through trade of the port and the Government therefore pro-

posed to repeal it but the Government intends to introduce

legislation to prevent breaches of the Licensing Ordinance

by unlicensed importers, e.g., importers on commission.

Section 4 exempts from duty liquors imported for use at

Government House.

The section was introduced by an un-official member.
