ment.

9. This Ordinance shall come into operation at the same Commence- time as the Industrial and Reformatory Schools Ordinance, 1932, which it amends.

Objects and Reasons.

1. Section 2 of this Ordinance repeals the definition of "youthful offender" in section 2 of the principal Ordinance and re-enacts it with the substitution of the word "offender" for the word "person".

2. This amendment is made in consequence of suggestions made by the Secretary of State in his despatch of the 29th April, 1933. intimating that His Majesty will not be advised to exercise his power of disallowance in respect of Ordinance No. 6 of 1932.

3. The amendment is intended to make it clear that the children who are dealt with under section 17 of the Juvenile Offenders Ordinance, No. 1 of 1932, who are not charged with any

offence and cannot therefore be regarded as offenders, are excluded from the definition of "youthful offender" in the Industrial and Reformatory Schools Ordin- ance, No. 6 of 1932.

4. Section 3 amends 3 of the principal Ordinance so as to include young persons as well as children.

5. Section 4 substitutes a redrafted sub-section for sub- section 6 (1) of the principal Ordinance so as to provide, as in the case of section 48 of the Children Act, 1908, (8 Ed. 7. c. 67), that the relinquishment of the certificate given to a certified industrial school may be made, in the case of a deceased sole manager, by his executors or administrators.
