PROPOSED AMENDMENTS IN `THE LAW.

At the next meeting of the Legis lative Council a Bill to amend, the¦ Larceny Ordinance, 1885, will be introduced,

The objects and reasons of the new measure state:

A new section 39 is substituted for the old section 39 of the Larceny Ordinance, 1885, such new section being based upon the language of section 25 of the English Larceny Act, 1018, which includes the offence of burglary at common law as well the previous offence of burglary by statute law.
