The Statutes in this Part were for the most part specially extended to Hongkong by Order in Council under the powers contained in the Acts for so extending them to the Colonies. The Statutes selected are printed in full, following the Orders in Council, for convenience of reference.

The Colonial Prisoners Removal Acts are an exception, as they are in the category of Statutes which apply without the intervention of an Order in Council. They are however printed on account of their importance, and placed in this Part because the Forms under the Act of 1884 were made by Order in Council.

The Copyright Act, 1911, which was extended by Proclamation under the powers contained in the Act, is also printed on account of its importance and because its provisions replace those of the enactments relating to copyright in the Colony which were repealed by the Copyright Repeal Ordinance, 1912, (No. 24 of 1912).
