PROCLAMATION.

No. 3.

[L.S.] G. WILLIAM DES VEUX.

By His Excellency Sir G. WILLIAM DES VEUX, Knight Commander of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hong- kong and its Dependencies, and Vice-Admiral of the same.

Whereas by Ordinance No. 11 of 1889, intituled The Stone Cutters Island Ordinance, 1889, it is enacted that it should be lawful for the Governor, from time to time by Proclamation in the Gazette, to exempt any portion or portions of the Island, to be defined by such Proclamation, from the operation of the said recited Ordinance.

And whereas in consequence of certain representations made to me, I have determined to exempt from the operation of the said Ordinance the following portions of the Island, namely:--

The Lazaretto-Bounded on the North by the shore line; on the West by a line of poles commencing 82 yards to the West of the Lazaretto Pier and extending 280 yards in a Southerly direction to the Surgeon's house; on the South by a line of poles extending from the Surgeon's house in a North-Easterly direction for 600 yards; on the East by a line of poles extending from the Eastern extremity of the Southern boundary in a North-Westerly direction to the shore line.

The Gunpowder Depôt.-Bounded on the North and South by the shore lines;, on the West by the Western wall of the old Gaol; and on the East by the Military reserve boundary as marked out by boundary stones. Now, therefore, 1, Sir G. WILLIAM DES VEUX, do, by this Proclamation, exempt the said portions of the said Island from the operation of the above recited Ordinance.

By Command,

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN.

FREDERICK STEWART, Colonial Secretary.
