REGULATION OF PAWNBROKERS.

INTEREST CHARGEABLE BY

CHINESE MOON.

GOVERNOR'S POWERS,

The Government Gazette contains: the draft of an Ordinance to amend the law relating to pawn- brokers. An interesting change is introduced in the definition

of "month" by which Chinese moons are substituted for the English calendar month, and interest is payable by the Chinese moon.

·Section 3 is entirely new, and enables H.E. the Governor to make regulations for the better carry- ing out of the provisions of the Ordinance. Among the powers so defined are regulations for pre- scribing and altering the maximum rates of interest to be charged by pawnbrokers; and for prescribing and limiting the number of 'pawnbrokers shops that may be allowed in any area.

Section 11 which confers power and

to inspect goods pledged pawnbrokers' books is made more clastic by substituting the words "police officer not below the rank for the previous of sergeant," language, "inspector of police." and by empowering the Inspector General of Police to give general authority to a constable to inspect pawnbrokers' books in general. In practice a limited power to search the books of specified pawnbrokers only has been found inadequate.

By section 21 of Ordinance No. 1 of 1860 the court or magistrate is empowered to make an order for the restoration to the owner of an article which has bean stolen and pawned, or unlawfully pawn- ed, on payment of the whole or part of the loan, or without payment. As the law stands at present, if an order has been made which is adverse to the owner it can be

at wholly disregarded, by him. least in cases where it has not been made on his application, and in spite of the order he can still sue for the return of the article- without payment to the pawn- broker. It seems desirable, how ever, that, if an order is made, it should be final. Section 28 of this Ordinance accordingly pro- vides that an order of this kind shall be a bar to any other remedy, for the recovery of the article. It is, however, provided that both the owner and the pawnbroker must be given an opportunity of being heard,
