ATTORNEY GENERAL'S CHAMBERS,

Hongkong: 12th. March,

....1912.

Report on Ordinance No...z . . of 1912 .

I have examined the accompanying Ordinance entitled

"Am Ordinance to amend the law relating to the Registræ

tion of Births and Deaths."

and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to the Governor's Instructions,

This Ordinance proposes to include principal elerks at Publis

Dispensaries, “shërë infants are taken to be vaccinated, as distrist

registrars as well as the Police Officers in charge of the Pelice Sta-

tions, which are distriet register offices. It is hoped to excourage

vaccination and that mere chinese will register the births of their im

fants then is the case at present owing to the aversion which many

chinese women have te attending at Pelice Stations or any purpose what-

Over.
