It would have been I think more correct w

have used the words "this Ordinance" in lieu of "this part of

that Ordinance".

The subject matter of the Ordinance (43 of

1909) is the Licensing of Chinese Money Changers and Ordinance 8 of 1887 is a general Ordinance relating to licences but as

special reference was made to Section 3 in relation to money

changers the words "this part of that Ordinance" were used in

the Memorandum whereas strictly the whole Ordinance is exempted

from operation in the New Territories by Ordinance 6 of 1899.

In reply to paragraph 3 of the Secretary'

of State's Despatch there is no later Ordinance on the subject.

23rd. March, 1910.

(sd.) F. A. Hazeland,

Attorney-General.
