The ATTORNEY-GENERAL proposed the insertion of a new clause which should be numbered 10. It was as follows:-

"It shall be lawful for the Governor at any time and from time to time by pro- clamation published in the Gazette to order that the operation of this Ordinance or any part of this Ordinance shall he suspended from such day and for such period as the Governor shall in such proclamation deter- mine, and it shall further be lawful for the Governor in like manner, and at any time and from time to time to rescind or vary auy such order."

Clause 10 was thereafter amended to read as follows:-

This Ordinance shall come into opera- tion on the 10th day of December, 1912, but if at the expiration of seven days after the date of the coming into opera- tion of this Ordinance or at the expiration of a like period after the date of the coming into operation of any order rescinding the suspension of the operation of this Ordinance issued under provisions of section 10 of this Ordinance, any stato of boycotting or condition of boycotting which may be in existence at the date of the coming into operation of the Ordin ante or of any such order as aforesaid has no entirely ceased and abated it shall be lawful for the Governor-in-Council to declare by Proclamation published in the Gazette that the provisions of section 9 of this Ordinance shall operate trospectively and shall be deemed to have been in force as from such date as may by the said Proclamation be determined and upon the publication of such Pro- clamation the provisions of section 9 of this Ordinance shall be us from such date so determined in such Proclamation of full legal force and effect. For the purpose of this section the expressions state of boycotting" and "condition of boycotting" shall mean any such state or condition of affairs as may in the opinion of the Governor-in-Council be regarded as a state of boycotting or condition of boycotting.
