Section 10 effects an amendment which the regulations pub- lished on the 24th February, 1922, purported, with doubtful
validity, to effect. It is arguable that the amendment was
not absolutely necessary, because section 23 of Ordinance No.8
of 1921 provides that a voluntrat lisposition inter vivoce is
to be charged as if it were a conveyance on sale, and Ordinance
No. 21 of 1921 made the duty on conveyances for ale $1 for
every $100. It was, however, desirable to correct the former
misleading heading No. 44, especially as it was arguable that
the duty on voluntary dispositions inter vivos was really gov-
erned by that heading and not by section 23 of Ordinance No. 8
of 1921.

In my opinion this is an Ordinance to which His Excellency
the Officer Administering the Government may properly assent in
the name of His Majesty and on His behalf.
Attorney General.
