ATTORNEY GENERAL'S CHAMBERS,

Hongkong.. 21st. May,

1912.

Report on Ordinance No.... of 1912.

I have examined the accompanying Ordinance entitled

"An Ordinance to amend the Law Revision Ordinance, 1911. *

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

This Ordinance which has been drafted by the Editer of the

New Revised edition èompletes the schedule of the principal Ordinance. The first volume of the new edition ends with the Ordinances of the year 1899 and the second volume with these of the year 1911. The fact that this amending Ordinance contains in the schedule references to the Ordinances of both these years is explained by the fact that the Mer- chant Shipping Amendment Ordinance 1911 made it necessary to delay the completion of the Revision of the first volume until the second volume was practically complete.
