Report on an Ordinance entitled

An Ordinance to exempt certain securities on imported

goods from the operation of the Bills of Sale Ordinance,

1886.

202

A

The object of the Ordinance is to introduce into this

Colony the provisions of the Bills of Sale Act, 1890, as

amended by the Bills of Sale Act, 1891,

The Hongkong Bille

of Sale Ordinance, 1886, was modelled on the English statutes

existing at the time of its introduction, and it has been found

desirable to incorporate in it the changes subsequently made

in the law in England by the above Acts.

In my opinion this is an Ordinance to which His Exoellenoy

the Governor may properly assent in the name of His Majesty

and on His behalf.

Attorney General.
