"(such place not being a brothel)" omitted from para. (d). Although these words in brackets occur also in section 2 (4) of the "Criminal Law Amendment Act, 1885 (48 & 49 Vict. c. 69) they appear to afford an unnecessary pro- tection to brothels. The existing section of the Ordinance already departs from the provisions of the Act in that offences under paragraph (a) are excluded from the protection afforded by sub-section (2).
As enacted by No 14 of 1934, s. 2. First proviso omitted as unnecessary and as casting doubt on other sections, e.g. sections 21 (2), 22, 23, 24, 25 and 26. See also clause 2 (e).
