1884, and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is

not contrary to the Governor's Instructions.

been used. Section 2 of the present Ordinance therefore

repeals it.

section.

4. Under the Ordinance of 1884, persons could be registered

wherever their qualifications were acquired, and the right

to registration did not depend in any way on the standard set
