to refer to repeal enactments.

This decision has made it

necessary that sections 9,10 and 11 of Ordinance No.19

of 1911 should be entirely rewritten and reenacted. It will be noticed that blause 2 of this Bill authorises the deletion of the word "miner" from the section of Ordinan- ce No.19 of 1911 which permitted the editer te amke miner grammatical amendments. The werd is one which immediately introduces controversy and the editor has asked that it should be deleted. As has already been stated it is in- tended that all actual amendments will be already autho- rised in one or other of the Ordinances in the Special Revision series and so the retention of the word "minor" becomes unnecessary. The editar does not intend to make any grammatical amendments which will alter the sense or to make any to which in his opinion the word "minor" dees not properly apply, but he would naturally prefer that controversy should be avoided by the deletion of that

word.

Attorney General.
