Objects and Reasons.

It has been the practice in the past from time to time to collect, in a Law Revision Ordinance, lists of Ordinances, the provisions of which are regarded as spent ; either because these provisions have been replaced by other like provisions in other Ordinances or because they are no longer applicable to local conditions. An example of such was the Law Revision Ordinance, 1924, (Ordinance No. 5 of 1924) section 56 of which contained a long list. Section 2 of this Ordinance contains a list of Ordinances which it has been decided are no longer required.

Section 3 repeals two sections of the Larceny Ordi- nance, 1865, which ought to have been repealed by Ordinance No. 15 of 1928. It also repeals a section of the Midwives Ordinance, 1910. The corresponding section of the Midwives Act, 1902 was repealed by the Statute Law Revision Act, 1927.

Section 4 corrects minor errors in several Ordi--

nances.
