persons who have neither been adjudicated bankrupt nor had a receiving order made against them. A new Bankruptcy Ordinance, based on the English Bank- ruptcy Acts of 1914 and 1926, is in course of pre- paration, and the offences referred to in that Örd- inance will be confined to persons against whom bankruptcy proceedings are taken. It is therefore necessary to provide elsewhere for the continuance of the general provisions of section 82 (5) (a), (b) and (c) of the present Bankruptcy Ordinance. This is done accordingly by the repeal of the misplaced paragraphs and by the insertion of a new section in the Larceny Ordinance, 1865. Paragraph (d) in the

new section is derived from section 6 of the Bank- ruptcy (Amendment) Act, 1926; but is not limited, as that section is, to the case of persons who have been adjudged bankrupt or in respect of whose estates receiving orders have been made.
