(b) the words "except as provided by section 46 of the Bankruptcy Ordinance, 1931" have been substituted for the words "except as provided by the Bankruptcy Acts, 1883 and 1890." The Act of 1913 referred to sections 145 and 146 of the Act of 1883, and to section 12 of the Act of 1890. The local section is section 46 of the 1931 Ordinance which is based on section 41 of the Act of 1914.

(c) the words "or purchaser" have been added after "bailiff or other officer" at the end at the suggestion of the Incorporated Law Society of Hong Kong. As the editor of Chitty's Statutes (Vol. 17, p. 590, note ()) points out, if the claimant can recover the goods from the purchaser the provision in the earlier part of the section that the purchaser of the goods shall acquire a good title is of no avail.

May, 1933.

C. G. ALABASTER,

Attorney General.
