(ii) by the substitution of the words "two dollars" for the words "twenty-five cents" in section 569 (3).

Objects and Reasons.

1. Section 2 adds a new section 42B to the Code of Civil Procedure. It corresponds with necessary adaptations (such as "Registrar'' for "Senior Master" and "Taxing Master" and "Bailiff" for "Official Process Server') with Order XI, Rule 13 of the Supreme Court in England. Section 42A of the Code, corresponding to Order XI rules 9 and 10, applies only to service of process for foreign courts in countries with which no Civil Procedure Convention has been concluded. Provision for cases where documents to be served emanate from a country with which there is such a Convention is made in England by Order XI, Rule 13. Conventions extended to Hong Kong have been made between the United Kingdom, Austria, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, France, Germany, Norway, Spain, and Sweden. Other Conventions which will probably be similarly extended have been made with Italy, Portugal and Poland. In

it becomes necessary to make pro- consequence vision in the Code of Civil Procedure for such cases.

2. Section 3 of this Ordinance makes, in sections 440. 441, 442 and 569 of the Code, small amendments which appear necessary in consequence of the amendment of section 439 by Ordinance No. 32 of 1931.
