No. 164.

Hong Kong.

ORDINANCE No. 38 of 1932. (PRISONS).

In exercise of the powers conferred by section 17 of the Prisons Ordinance, 1932, the Governor in Council rescinds paragraph (2) of rule No. 117 of the Prison Rules, amended as appears in Government Notification No. 433 of 1930, and substitutes the following paragraph therefor :-

(2) Every subordinate officer shall be liable to instant dismissal by the Governor in any of the following

cases,

(a) in case of any breach of his duties as such officer

or of any of these rules;

(b) if it appears to the Governor that such officer is in serious pecuniary embarrassment and that such embarrassment impairs the efficiency of such officer.

If upon considering the case of any subordinate officer the Governor is of opinion that the officer does not deserve to be dismissed, but deserves some lesser punishment, he may inflict one or more of the following punishments, that is to say, reduction in rank, forfeiture of seniority, forfeiture of pay, and forfeiture of increments, as seems proper in the circumstances.
