Report on an Ordinance

intituled An Ordinance amend the Dentistry Ordinance, 1914.

Though it is probable that the words which this Ordinance

repeals were inserted in the Principal Ordinance with the object

of restricting the administration of anesthetics by unqualified

persons, yet the fear has been expressed that they might be

interpreted by some registered dental surgeons or exempted persons

as an indirect invitation to administer general anaesthetics, and

that they might afford an undesirable defence to an indictment for

manslaughter.

The Dental Board pressed very strongly for this ementment of

the law.

The effect of the amendment is to assimilate the law of the

Colony to the law at present in force in the United Kingdom on

this point.

In my opinion this/an Ordinance to which His Excellency the

Governor may properly assent in the name of His Majesty and on Hi,
