of

any kind whatever, other than mathematical tables. The slightest infringement of this regulation will subject the offender to all the penalties of a failure, and he will not be allowed to present himself for re- examination for a period of three months.

A candidate who uses his own mathematical tables of instruments without first obtaining the permission of the Ex- aminer will be subject to the same penalty.

96. Injury to books, instruments, &c.-If a candi- date defaces, blots, writes in, or otherwise injures any book or form or damages any instrument belonging to the Hong Kong Government, his papers will be retained until he has replaced the damaged book, document or instrument.
