GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

Notice is hereby given that, in view of the approaching Chinese New Year, the Superintend- ent of Police has been authorised to give permission,

under Ordinance 10 of 1872, for Crackers to be

fired under the following restrictions:-

In the Districts West of the Cross Roads

and of Shing-wong Street the firing of Crackers will be permitted from 4 P.M.

on the 21st until 4 P.M. on the 23rd January;

In the Districts East of the Cross Roads and of Shing-wong Street, Crackers

•

may be fired only between the hours

of 4R.M. of the 21st and 9 P.M. of the 22nd January.

The Police will have strict orders to summon or arrest persons firing Crackers in contravention of the foregoing restrictions.

But whilst allowing thus the same liberty as heretofore, His Excellency the Governor desires the Chinese public to take special precautions on this occasion, as the unusual dryness of the weather increases the danger of a conflagration arising in case of careless handling of Crackers.

Colonial Secretary's Office,

C. MAY.

Acting Colonial Secretary.
