word "or" occurs in a similar provision in the Fiji

Ordinance.

It therefore seems quite clear that the word "not" has crept into the Hong Kong Regulations by

mistake and it seems very desirable to trace this mistake

to its source.

Can you assist please?

(The same apparent mistake appears in Hong

Kong Pensions Minute No.24 (page 82 of the 1924

Edition of the General Orders)).

Mr.Paskin,

It was originally "or" in the Hong Kong

Pension Minute

A

see e.g. Minute as published in

Government Notification No.17 of 8 January 1902,

Rule No.23. The offending "not" first appeared in

Minute published in Government Notification No.432

of 16 July 1902 and has been retained ever since.

The Rule in question (including the "not")

has appeared in the Police Force (European) Regulations

from the start (see Hong Kong Government Gazette 1921

page 559, Rule 11)

-

it having been incorporated,

doubtless, from the incorrect version of the Hong

Kong Pension Minute.
