Order-in-Council of 1904 as amended by subseqent

Orders-in-Council, including that of 1913 above

referred to, and Article 18 of the order-in-Council

of 1915 reads;-

*Nothing in this Order shall prejudice or affect "the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court over

"ritish Companies other than China Companies

.

and Hongkong China Companies within the mean-

*ing of this order".

The effect of this is I submit, that Article 15

of the urder-in-Council of 1915 must be read as if

Home Companies were excluded from the meaning of

the words "British Companies" used in that Article.

I em.

Eir,

Your obedient servant,
