Section 8.

The only difference is that in Great Britain the limits of age are 13 and 16 and in Hongkong 12 and 16.

The age in Great Britain is "under 16"; in Hongkong "under 16". In the longkong Ordinance No. 4 of 1897 there are very rigorous sections dealing with Abduction and carbouring of women and girls which are not in the English Act (vide Seca.3, 18,19,20,22,23,24,25 and also Ordinance 34 of 1909, Sec.2)

Substantially the same.
