Justice's

reasonable criticisms of the
Original Ordinance, Legal adriers are
Satisfied on this score
subyeed to the
points we are raving with the Governor.
One of
our reservations concerns Section 12 of the original Ordinance (see para 5 of The draft Saring despatch); we still do not think the proposed amendments to this. Section entirely meet Justice's criticism that
provision does
away
the requirement that Guilty intent should exist before an offence can be committed. We believe Mr. Allann
Inis
had this found in mind when asking his "P.c.s about the burden of froof". (The Same point arose on Section 30 of the original Ordinance but this is being repealed by the Cumending Bill.) Sif the Governor can hacet
is
on this and the other points we have
5 consider we can properly claim
raised
to have met all reasonable criticisms of
The legulation.
