ATTORNEY GENERAL'S CHAMBERS

Hongkong,.. 4th November

.1909

Report on Ordinance No.....33

of 190 9.

I have examined the accompanying Ordinance, entilled

An Ordinance to amend the Widows' and Orphans' Pension Ordinance, 1906.

and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to

the Governor's Instructons

The Ordinance repeals section 19 of the Widows' and Orphans' Pension Ordinance; 1908, which limits the pension of an orphan to one-fourth of the widow's pension in cases where there are less than three children entitled to pension, and to provide that the whole amount of the widow's pension` shall be equally divided among the children of a Fensionable age.”
