(Continued from page 2.) provides that emigrants are to travel no souble and proper conditions

of comfort on the ships on which they are carried. I may be that there are still some portions of the Bill which require amending, and therefore I do not propeso, Sir, to ask the Council to proceed beyond the second reading to-day. A consider- with able portion of the Bill is taken up Pacquer Act, and this is necessary por explaining in detail the relationship which the present Bill bears to the Chinese hips, not so much because it should appear in a local Ordinance, but because it is informative, and gives necessary information to the public as to what is the position of those emigrante under the Chinese Passenger Act. I do not think there is anything more I need say in moving the second reading, except that there are some of the provisions of the

it is. The object of this Bill is briefly. exclusion of the chapter in the old Opium Ordinance dealing with morphine and Compounds of opium it has been necessary to provide in some other way for the Crrangements dealing with these sub- stances, and, Sir, it is proposed, and this Ordinance carries out the proposal, to place in the annals of the Pharmacy laws, morphine and compounds of morphine; There is a defuition which will have to be inserted by resolution of the Excutive and legislative Councils as to what these poisons are. The first thing, therefore, that will have to be done after the passage of this Bill will be to include morphine and compounds of morphine by resolution of the Executive Council in section A of Pharmacy Ordinance, 1908, and subsequently to include by resolution of the Legislative Council Ordinance No. 19 of 1908. The onl❤ prisons at present con- tained in the schedule are coca, a prepara tion of coca, cocaine and various others. The Ordinance itself contains very little besides the mere suggestions which are necessary to carry out the main object, which will be carried out by the resolu

Legislative tions of the Fixecutive and Councils. The Ordinance in itself as it stands is only a detailed Ordinanc insert in the provisions of Ordinance No. 12 1908 certain administrative details which will be necessary when one is deal ing with poisons of this class. The first and most important of these is to give Power for a search without warrant to European police or revenue officers for poisons which there is any reason to suppose are illegally in the possession of any person, The second is with regard to the penalty, and here again the penalty is in very much the same phraseology as is adopted in tho Opium Bill.. Just in the same way as a clause for search with- out warrant is inserted in the Opium Bill, so it is inserted in this Bill, and just

iT

the

Stime way as the penalty has been raised to ten times the market value, so it is here. Lastly. Sir, as in the case of the Onium Bill the market value of the opium is determined by a certificate from the Government Analyst, so is it in this case too, the market value of cornine and morphine, and these only, are determined by certificate from the Government Analyst.

The COLONIAL SECRETARY Seconded, and the Bill was read a second time.

Connell then went the Committee to consider the Bill clauso by clause.

On Clause 4,

Hon. Sir Kai Ho KAI said-I wish to move an amendment to this clause. My objection is the same as I expressed in connection with the Opium Ordinuce.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL-You would like the same amendment inserted?

Hon. Sir Ka Ho. Kar - Slightly different. I propose to amend it in this way Such power should not be giben to! any European policeman below the rank of sergeant, or ene especially appointed by the Superintendent for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this section.
