REASON FOR AMENDMENT.

55 and 56.

The provisions of Ordinances No. 25 of 1914 [Trading with the Enemy and No. 28 of 1914 [Alien Enemies (Winding up)] have been revised in order to make them appli- cable to any future war in which His Majesty may be engaged, and No. 25 of 1914 has been rearranged and to some extent simplified.

4. Generally speaking, with the possible exception of the Steam-boilers (now the Boilers) Ordinance, No. 32 of 1909, it may be said that this revision, like the revision of the Ordinances contained in the first volume of the new edition, has not introduced new matter into the law of the Colony but has been confined to the collection of the existing law, the repeal of spent legislation, the correction of obvious errors, the standardization of expression and the removal of incon- sistencies.

5. This Ordinance repeals the previous Law Revision Ordinance, No. 27 of 1937, without prejudice to the amend- ments made by that Ordinance in the Ordinances passed during the year 1901.

August, 1939.
