MESS 22 WR ||

ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE.

Hongkong, 28th March,19/1.

Report on Ordinance No.. 8

...of 19//.

I hace examined the accompanying Ordinance, entitled

An Ordinance to further amend the Pawnbrokers

Ordinances, 1860 and 1902

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

the Governor's Instructions.

--

Ordinance No. 21 of 1902 in this Ordinance called the Amend- -ing Ordinance was passed before the Revised Edition of the laws by Sir J. Carrington was published. It repealed section 15 of Ordinance 3 of 1860, which was then the Principal Ordinance, and substituted a proviso therefor. The proviso does not render in- -telligible the corresponding sections (sections 12 and 16) of No. 1 of 1860 in the Revised Edition.

Sections 2 and 3 of the

Ordinance are accordingly introduced to make the whole intelligible.
