Report on an Ordinance intitulad
An Ordinance to remove doubts as to the power of the Governor to appoint Deputy Official Receivers and as to the validity of the acts of persons appointed to be Deputy Official Receivers or to act as Deputy of- ficial Receivers or attached to the office of the official Receiver before the commencement of this Ordinance.
+
The object of this Ordinance is to give the
Governor express power to appoint Deputy official
Receivers, to remove doubts as to his power to do so in the past, and to remove doubts as to the validity of the acts of persons appointed to be Deputy Official Receivers, or to act as Deputy official Receivers, or attached for duty to the office of the official Re-
ceiver, in the past.
Appointments have at various times been made in the above terms, but the powers conferred by the Bank- ruptcy Ordinance, 1891, were conferred only on the Official Receiver, and no provision was made in that Ordinance for any Deputy Official Receiver.
In my opinion this is an Ordinance to which His Excellency the Governor may properly assent in the name of His Majesty and on His behalf.
Attorney General,
