banishment of a sick poreen against his will from British territory to Chins might in his judg- ment be open to severe criticism, and he thought the point might be met by probibiting the entry of lepers into the Colony and making offendere liable to deportation. Section 14 is to bo repealed and a new section added prohibiting the entry of alien lopers and making them liable to deportation if they enter the Colony.

The COLONIAL TREASURER seconded, and the motion was agreed to.

The COLONIAL SCOBETARY, scoonded, and the Bill was read a first time.

The objects and reasons state that when the Criminal Law Amendment Ordinances were framed in 1865 the English Copeolidation Ordinances of 1851 were copied almost ver. batim. But in connection with offences relating to Railways two sets of sections were omitted, bosaure there were no railways in the Colony, Those two sets of provisions dealt with prac. tically the same sets--putting wood, stones, ete, on the jailway, and other kindred matters, but the oriminal intent in the twe statutos was different-in

The ATTORNEY-GENEZAJ Moved the second reading of the Bill entitled, "An Ordinause to amend The Defoners (Sketching Prevention]. Ordinance, 1895, and to control balivonists and others who have special opportunities for obtaining information respecting the defences esid of the Colony." In doing so

This Bill, Sir, offecte certain amendments in the Defences (Sketching Prevention) Ordinance of 1815 by making the posses sion of sketches, drawings photographs, ste, of auy battery or fortification illegal anless obtained by permission of the Governor in prit ing. The Ordinanco es it stands at present applies to persons taking printe, drawings or plans, but it makes no dannite provision for people found in possession of them. Therefore it is proposed to follow the very common pre- cedent of the law in England by making plans legally obtained an offenes. It gives power to

magistrate to issue search warrants to secure any such drawings or prints which may have been illegally obtained. Clause three of the Bill prohibits trespassing on forifications or nay nasal or military premises. I may state that our Ordinanes No 1 of 1895 is framed generally in accordance with the law in other eastern colonies, This particular clans three is not in the Or dinance of 1895, although it is in the Ordinances of both Ceylon and the Siraite Settlements. It kos therefore been deemed desirable to include it in ours so as to bring it into all fours with the Ordinances prevailing elsewhore. In addi tion to those there is a provision to control balloonists as stated in the memorandum of the Bill. Your Excellency has therefore instrusted me to make provision in the Bill o to control the ascents of balloon and The COLONIAL SECRETARY seconded, and the motioa-was agreed to.

Act it WUA damage to the railway, carriage, olos in the Offences against the Person Act, it was damage endangering the safety of passengers. The provisions of the Former Act were introduced into the Colony by Ordinance No. 10 of 1910; this draft introducas these of the latter Aet, and like No. 10 of 1910 it is made applicable to tramways, I think that now that the New Edition of the Rarised Lane is being prepared serious omissions in the law of the Colony should be remedied; in this caso the object is to bring the law of the Colony into line with the English law on which it is baaed. Provision is made for introducing both the now sections and those of No. 10 of 1910 into their proper position in the Criminal Law Ordinances of 1865. Part II. of No. 10 of 1910, which deals with a different matter, will remataraprakés us a substantive enactment.

WHAT IT bas done for CTBERS it will DO FOR YOU le refreshing and exhilarating effects are a revelation to those who have never tried it Lefore: "WINCARNIS" as a charm all its own, which you cannot fail to appreciate.

The object of this Ordinance is to bring the law of the Colony on the subject of punish- ments into lino with the law of England. It accomplishes this, first, by abolishing minimum penalties, and this gives the Judge the power of dealing leniently with cases which deserve to he so treated. The Ordinance also dous away. with the confusion and redundancy of langungs which now exist in the penalty clauses of the Criminal Low of the Colony, In the English Aots, from which our laws have been copied, there were alternative penalties provided

By Ordinance No. 3 of 1887, penal servitude was abolished, and inprison- wont with hard labour substituted for it. "In the Ordinances as they appear in the Revised Edition, imprisonment with hard labour has been substituted for penal servitude"; but no further chan o was mole, with the result, as in the example "civen in a. 7, that the alternatives bocamo imprisonment with berd labour for not mers thao 14 and not less than 3 years” and "imprisonment with or without hard labour for more than 2 years." This is meaningless, and the Ordinance eliminates the second alternative. Itakould be noted that the penalty of "imprison. mout with or without hard labour" as an after- native to penal servitady has been eliminated in England, but by a different process. The use of examples is based on Indian Ingislation, and dus recognition of it will be made in the new Interpratat on Ordinanco" now being drafted. A further effective change is made by making the penally of imprisonment always subject to the discretionary with or without hard labone" (es it is in foot in the majority of casea) unless any Ordinance expressly provides otherwise.
