26. Section 12 of the new Ordinance provides a general maximum penalty of $1,000 or six months imprisonment. This is the penalty under sections 4 and 18 of Ordinance No. 4 of 1886, except that in those two cases the imprisonment must be without hard labour while here it may be with or without hard labour.
27. Section 13 of the new Ordinance repeals Ordinance No. 4 of 1886.
28. Section 14 suspends the commencement of the Ordinance. This is inserted in order to give time for preparation of the regis- ters and to give time for newspapers to register and for the keepers of printing presses to apply for licences.
11th April, 1927.
J. H. KEMP,
Attorney General.
