Ordinance.

21.

Section 21 of this Ordinance also inserts a

new section based on sections 17 and 18 of the Opium

Ordinance, 1923, Ordinance No. 30 of 1923, to prevent

the improper possession of labels, wrappers or marks

issued by the Superintendent of Imports and Exports,

and to prevent the possession of fraudulent imitations

of such labels wrappers or marks.

Section 22 of this Ordinance effects amendments

in section 89 of Ordinance 9 of 1911, so as to make

it similar to section 59 of the Tobacco Ordinance, 1916,

but with the additional option given to the magistrate

similar to that which is given to him by section 39 (3)

of the Opium Ordinance, 1923, Ordinance No. 30 of 1923, of

imposing, if he thinks fit, a fine not exceeding two

thousand dollars in lieu of a fine not exceeding ten

times the duty. The reason for this latter addition

is that there are many serious offences such as keeping

an illicit still, or manufacturing bogus brandy from

smuggled spirits of wine, in which very little liquor may

be seized.

23. Section 23 of this Ordinance enables the Governor

in Council to make regulations in regard to the

manufacture possession and sale of denatured spirits,

in addition to the other matters enumerated in section

95 of the principal Ordinance.

Sections 24 and 25 of this Ordinance remove all

the principal Ordinance.
