Objects and Reasons.

1. This Ordinance repeals Ordinances No. 2 of 1900, No. 32 of 1929, and No. 33 of 1931, and re-enacts them with minor amendments and with a new section added which is taken from the Fire Arms Act, 1920. In the First Schedule the forms relating to Export Permits are omitted. Such Per- mits are not issued by the Police under the Arms and Ammuni- tion Ordinances. In the Second Schedule the special ten-dollar licence for retail of sporting arms and ammunition is omitted, only one such licence having been issued. All other retailers have hitherto held the twelve-hundred-dollar licences as im- porters, dealers or vendors. A Third Schedule containing conditions of annual licences of retailers of arms and ammuni- tion has been added.

2. A Table of Correspondence is attached showing the origin of the various sections of this Consolidation Ordinance and also the nature of the amendments.
