No. 15 OF 1867.

An Ordinance enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the Advice of the Legislative Council thereof, to amend "The Bankruptcy Ordinance, 1864.”

[5th December, 1867.]

Whereas circumstances occasionally arise which render it inexpedient that the Registrar of the Supreme Court should be the Official Assignee as provided by Section VI of "The Bankruptcy Ordinance, 1864" Be it therefore enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the Advice of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-

I. It shall be lawful for the Governor whenever he shall deem it expedient to nominate and appoint some P'erson other than the Registrar of the Supreme Court to be the Official Assignee of the Estate and Effects of a Bankrupt, which said Person shall be the Official Assignee of the Estate and Effects of such Bankrupt; Provided always that nothing herein contained shall protect the Registrar of the Supreme Court from any Action or Suit which may be brought against him for any thing done or omitted to be done previous to the appointment of some Person as aforesaid by the Governor.

II. In citing this Ordinance, it shall be sufficient to use the expression "The Bankruptcy Amendment Ordinance, 1867.”

III. This Ordinance shall commence and take effect on such Day as shall hereafter be fixed by Proclamation under the Hand of the Governor.

Passed the Legislative Council of Hongkong, this 5th Day of December, 1867.

L. D'ALMADA E CASTRO,

Clerk of Councils.
