Report

on an Ordinance intituled an Ordinance to provide for the punishment of Incest.

816

The object of this ordinance is to introduce the provisions

of the Punishment of Incest Act, 1908, which it closely follows.

The only difference of substance is in the age limit in section

2 and this difference is necessitated by the terms of section 6

of the Women and Girls Protection Ordinance, 1897,

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,
