Sir,

With reference to the second paragraph of 2 your despatch No.404 of 4th October, 1937, regarding

the wording of the new sub-section 8 of section 4A

of the Printers and Publishers Ordinance, 1927, I have

brought to the notice of the Attorney General and that

arrangements have been made to omit the unnecessary

words in the revised edition of the Ordinances of Hong

Kong which is now in preparation.

2. As regards the final paragraph of your

despatch under reference it is assumed that the

Registrar of Newspapers will exercise his discretion

and allow any newspaper which is called upon to make

a deposit a reasonable time in which to find the money

before he suspends its registration.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient, humble servant,

1. A.D. Wathest.
