Shoaling of Min River Entrance.

THE entrance of the River Min between No. 1 and No. 2 Buoys, and also inside No. 3 Buoy has shoaled considerably since the last survey in October 1906. This will probably be remedied when the S. W. monsoon has set in sufficiently to allow of the washing away of the sand driven in during the N. E. monsoon.

A new survey will be made when the weather permits and the results thereof will be duly published. Meanwhile it is inadvisable for vessels drawing more than 23 feet to enter the port.

Objects and Reasons.

This Bill proposes to effect certain amendments in The Life Insurance Companies Ordinance which was 'passed last year.

That Ordinance has received the careful consideration of the Actuarial Adviser of the Board of Trade and the ameud- ments are based on his suggestions.

Section provides a trust fund in respect of policies issued in the Colony and as it is considered undesirable to create preferential charges or deposits and also as no corresponding provision is contained in the Imperial Acts it is proposed to delete the section.

Section 9 sub-section (3) is regarded as unworkable or inoperative in practice and the amendment is considered preferable and practicable.

Section 24 provides a special test of solvency and various reasons are urged against it and (inter alia) that the "Actuaries" table is obsolete. The section is so amended as to leave it to the Court to determine in view of all the circumstances as to the solvency or insolvency of a Company.

Rules made by the Governor-in-Council under Section 3 of the New Territories (Regulation) Ordinance, 1899, (Ordinance No. 8 of 1899), this 1st day of February, 1909,

FORESTRY LICENCES.

1. Assistant Land Officers may issue and re-issue Private or Village Forestry Licences to private persons or to villages to cultivate pine trees on unoccupied Crown Land in the New Territories. Cultivation of pine trees shall mean resowing whenever trees are felled and sowing trees on land where none have previously been grown.

2. Upon receipt of an application for a Forestry Licence the area applied for shall be marked out and notice shall be posted in an approved form and manner at least 14 days before the licence is issued stating that application for the area defined by marks has been made.

3. After licences have been issued the Licensees shall mark out the land in respect of which they are granted licences clearly at each corner with a board or stone bearing the licence number and shall maintain such marks during the term of their licences.

4. Such licences shall not confer upon the Licensees ownership of the ground nor of its natural products.

5. The Licensees shall not desecrate any existing grave on the land in respect of which they hold licences nor interfere with future burials, and they shall leave a clear space of grass one Cheung in width round every grave on their lots.

6. The holder of a Privat›› Licence shall not interfere with the cutting of grass on the land in respect of which he holds a licence. The holders of a Village Licence are at liberty to cut grass on the land in respect of which they hold a licence but the grass on a Village Forestry Lot shall not be cut by people of other villages without the permission, of the Licensees of that lot.

7. Licensees shall not interfere with persons in pursnit of their lawful avocation passing over the land in respect of which they hold licences.

8. For each licence a fee at the rate of 10 cents per acre per annum shall be charged. The fee shall be paid in advance and the minimum fee will be $1.

 At the end of the first year the licences may be renewed at the reduced rate of 2 cents per acre per annum if it is found on inspection that the plantation is in good order, with the trees on each acre of about the same size and with their branches nearly touching, the lower living branches not removed and the groun i not denuded. Such plantations shall be called "A Plantations". If the plantation is not in a satisfactory condition the renewal will be at the original rate. Such plantations shall be called "B Plantations".

 9. Licensees may fell pine trees in their plantations, but not more than one-fourth of the trees in a lot may be felled in any one year and no Licensee shall fell any wild trees. If in the opinion of the Assistant Land Officer of the District more than one-fourth of the trees in any lot is felled in any one year, he may refuse to re-issue the licence for such plantation.

10. The Goveran-ent reserves the right to withdraw the licence at any time upon payment for the planted trees and of the outstanding part of the fee.

11. The Government shall have the first offer of trees on "A Plantations when the Licensee wishes to dispose of them.

Whereas by the Military Stores (Prohibition of Exportation) Ordinance, 1862, it is enacted that it should be lawful for His Excellency the Governor, by and with the advice of the Executive Council, by Proclamation to be published in the Hongkong Government Gazette or in any Extraordinary Gazette, to prohibit, for such period as should be mentioned in such Proclamation, either to be exported from the Colony of Hongkong, or to be carried coastwise within the said Colony (amongst other things) Arms, Ammunition, Gunpowder, and Military and Naval Stores, and any articles which His Excellency may judge capable of being converted into or made useful in increasing the quantity of Military or Naval Stores, or any or either of such Arms, Ammunition, Gunpowder, Stores, Goods or Articles respect- ively, subject to any permission that may be obtained under Section 3 of the Ordinance:

And whereas, by various Proclamations issued from time to time, such exportation and carriage coastwise were prohibited, and remain prohibited until the 27th day of May, 1909, and that it is expedient to continue such prohibition:

Now, therefore, I, Sir FREDERICK JOHN DEALTRY LUGARD, Knight Commander of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, Companion of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath, Companion of the Distinguished Service Order, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies and Vice-Admiral of the same, by and with the advice of the Executive Council of this Colony, do, by this Proclamation, prohibit for a further period of one year from and including the 28th day of May, 1909, either to be exported from the Colony of Hongkong, or to be carried coastwise within the said Colony, Arms, Ammunition, Gunpowder, and Military and Naval Stores, and any articles which I may judge capable of being converted into or made useful in increasing the quantity of Military or Naval Stores, or any or either of such Arms, Ammunition, Gunpowder, Stores, Goods or Articles respectively, unless this Proclamation shall, in the meantime, be revoked, or unless permission shall have been obtained under Section 3 of the Ordinance above mentioned.

sections to the Principal Ordinance.

Where an application for the grant of Letters Provisional Patent in respect of an invention has been protection. accepted, whether provisionally or absolutely, the Governor may, if he shall consider it expedient so to do, direct that the invention may during the period between the date of such application and the date of the grant of such Letters Patent be used and published in the Colony without prejudice to the Letters Patent to be granted for the invention.

13. Where the owner of an invention which is to be used an 1 published in this Colony states his intention of applying for the grant of Letters Patent for the said invention in the United Kingdom with the intent thereafter to apply for the grant of Letters Patent for the said invention in this Colony, the Governor may, if he shall consider it expedient so to do, direct that the invention may for such reasonable period as he shall think fit be used and pub- lished in the Colony without prejudice to the Letters Patent to be granted for the inven- tion."

349

r

Objects and Reasons.

39

are

Section 2 (a). The words United Kingdom substituted for the word England" here and elsewhere throughout the Ordinance. The alteration is advisable and in section 5 (2)" United Kingdom must be read.

19

Section 2 (b). The practice is to require an office copy of the specification and Letters Patent granted in England. This practice is not in conformity with the Ordinance and it has from time to time been objected to. The new section sanctions this practice, but it allows as an alterna- tive to filing a copy of the Letters Patent that the original Letters Patent should be submitted. These would be returned, as after inspection they are no longer required. A complete specification is also required, as provisional specifications have sometimes been sent in. Complete specification" is defined in the English Act.

Section 2 (c). The words at the end of the existing section 2 (2) have been transferred to sub-section (3) to which they more appropriately belong.

Section 2 (d). The authority here stipulated for, deed of assignment, etc., is by present practice required. It seems advisable to give definite power to demand the pro- duction of an authority.

Section 3. It has proved most inconvenient to fix a date more than two weeks ahead on which Council will meet to consider applications for Letters Patent. The present practice is to give any date subsequent to the date of the second issue of the Gazette.

Section 4. The existing section 4 is somewhat difficult of construction. In the first place there is no apparent reason in the Ordinance why the matter should come at all before the Governor-in-Council, as application under sec- tion 2 of the Principal Ordinance is made to the Governor. Further the Governor-in-Council may "refuse the prayer of the said petition as may appear expedient and for such time or times as may seem fit".

The new section is designed to set out the procedure more clearly, and in sub-section (2) present and future legislation is substituted for the P. D. & T. Acts 1883-8, which are now repealed.

350

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, JUNE 11, 1909.

Section 5. The new section 5 (1) is the existing sec- tion 5 with the addition of the words แ subject to the provisions of sub-sections (2) and (3)" and with the sub- stitution of "such statutes as are now or may hereafter be in force" for the words "statutes now in force ".

Sub-section (2) carries out in a concise form the instruc- tions of the Secretary of State in the final paragraph of his despatch No. 52 of the 17th March, 1909.

Sub-section (3), The Secretary of State in the fourth paragraph of his despatch directs that the Ordinance should be so amended as to lay down clearly the consequences of revocation in England of a patent also registered in Hong- kong, and the procedure to be adopted with regard to the registration of such revocations.

Under the English Act :-

(a.) The Board of Trade if satisfied that the reasonable requirements of the public with respect to a patented invention have not been complied with may refer the matter to the Court, who may grant a compulsory licence or revoke the patent-section 25.

(b.) The Comptroller may revoke patents on certain

grounds-section 26.

(c.) Patents worked outside the United Kingdom

may be revoked -- Section 27.

In Hongkong all revocations, except in the rare cases in which the registered owner may desire to have his own Letters Patent revoked, should be the subject of petition to the Court.

As Hongkong is not a large place there seems no neces- sity to empower the Court to grant compulsory licences, nor is such necessity likely to arise.

Patents my be revoked in England for various causes none of which it is possible, would hold good in this Colony, and it would therefore be manifestly unfair to revoke patents solely on the ground that they have been revoked in England.

The new sub-section gives the Court power to revoke a patent on proof being given that circumstances exist in this Colony in regard to an invention similar to those which lead to the revocation of a patent in England.

Section 8. Froposed sections 12 and 13. If an inven- tion is usel and published without the protection of Letters Patent, whether with or without the consent of the in- ventor, the inventor loses his right to claim Letters Patent.

It happens from time to time-there was a case recently -that a man brings an invention ready for sale in the Hongkong market and applies for Letters Patent here. Owing to some informality the matter has to be referred to England for further documents, and the owner can in the meantime put his goods in the market only at his own risk.

These sections are founded on section 4 of the English Act with modifications rendered necessary by the local circumstances.

Section 12 allows provisional protection in a case e.g. when the papers are not in order.

Section 13 extends provisional protection to an inventor who makes an invention in the Colony and is exposed to the risk of having his invention discovered and copied, and so of losing his rights, during the period necessary for him to apply for and obtain Letters Patent in England and thereafter in Hongkong.

NOTICE is hereby given that on and after the 1st July proximo the Gough Island- "Astraea" Channel will be open during daylight to such vessels as may wish to make use of it, and to assist navigation therein two poles, painted black and carrying triangular shapes, have been erected at the upper end of Gough Island, the one near the channel with the apex of the triangle upwards, and that of the other downwards. These, when kept in line, will indicate the centre of the new channel, which at present is in no part less than 600 feet in width. Three six-feet buoys, painted red, will be placed on the starboard side of the channel for vessels inward bound, and numbered 1, 2 and 3 respectively, commencing from the lower end.

Vessels inward bound should, after having passed the Woosung Inner Bar Signal Station, keep 1 cables from the embankment on the left bank of the river and pass first buoy, moored off Limit Beacon, on the starboard hand and at a distance of 300 feet; con- tinuing up river, pass second buoy on the same hand and at the same distance. When abreast second buoy, follow up the line of leading marks until abreast third buoy, where divert from the line and keep a ship's length from the Conservancy Works on Gough Island until having passed the upper end of such Works, which is marked by a Dolphin Pile sur- mounted by a spherical shape, painted black.

The difference between the depth of water in the new channel and that on the Woosung Inner Ear, as indicated by the signals at the Inner Bar Signal Station, will be shown at the Woosung Lighthouse and from the higher of the two Leading Marks on Gough Island, as under:

When the depth of water in the new channel is more than on the Woosung Inner Bar, symbols as above will be shown on the southern yard-arm, and when less, on the northern yard-arm; if the depth be the same as on the Woosung Inner Bar, no symbols will be shown.

In order to avoid accidents, vessels intending to pass through the new channel must hoist a black ball at the fore truck when abreast the Woosung Lighthouse on vessels inward bound, and when abreast Black Point, or as soon as the signals at the Woosung Inner Bar Signal Station can be seen, on board vessels outward bound.

When dredgers are at work in the new channel, steam vessels should, when approaching them. sound their whistles and slow down, to give the dredgers time to slacken their moorings.

Plans of the new channel, Leading Marks, etc., may be seen at the Harbour Master's Office.

CAUTION.--Captains and/or Pilots are reminded that they must go dead slow when passing the barges engaged in dropping "zinkstuks" in the Ship Channel, and when passing any other Conservancy Works in course of construction.

7. That the Grantee shall not have loose Opium (as defined by the Raw Opium Ordin- ance, 1887), elsewhere than in his boiling establishment, and shall not have in his possession or under his control any Raw Opium other than that covered by a removal permit authorizing the conveyance of such Raw Opium to such establishment.

8. That the breach of any of the provisions of the Raw Opium Ordinance, 1887, or of the Prepared Opium Ordinances, 1891-1909, or of any rules or regulations made thereunder or of any of the above conditions or stipulations shall involve the liability to a forfeiture of the grant and of the security deposited with the Colonial Treasurer.

AND so as that the Grantee, his executors, and administrators, subject to such conditions and stipulations, shall and lawfully may have and enjoy the whole profit, benefit, commodity, and advantage, from time to time, during the said term, coming, growing, accruing and arising by reason of the said privileges, TO HAVE, HOLD, USE, EXERCISE, AND ENJOY the premises hereby granted, subject as aforesaid, together with the power to grant licences as in the said Ordinances provided subject to such conditions as shall from time to time be approved by the Governor-in-Council, and all other powers incident to the said privileges, and all benefit and advantage of the said Ordinances and conditions or any of them, unto the Grantee, his executors, and administrators, for and during and unto the full end and term of three whole years commencing with the First day of March, 1910: PRO- VIDED always and these presents are upon this express condition, that if, at any time during the said term hereby granted, the Grantee, his executors, or administrators, shall not, upon his or their part or behalf, pay the said monthly rent at the time appointed or shall fail to observe, perform, and keep any of the said conditions and stipulations, or any of the pro- visions of these presents, or of the said Ordinances or any of them, then and in any or either of the said cases it shall be lawful for the Governor-in-Council to cancel these presents, and in such case the same shall forthwith cease, determine and be utterly void, save as herein- after provided: PROVIDED always, and it is hereby expressly declared, that the said executors, or administrators shall be and remain liable

to make good to the Governor all losses and expenses incurred by reason of such default in payment or by reason of the non-observance or non-

1-performance of any of the said conditions and stipulations or any of the provisions of these presents or of the said Ordinances, or by reason of any re-sale or re-grant of the said privileges which the Governor-in-Council may thereupon make.

PROVIDED always that in the event of the exportation of Raw Opium from India being so restricted during the term hereby granted, as in the opinion of the Governor-in-Council seriously to affect the business of the Grantee, the onus of proof whereof shall rest on the Grantee, the Governor-in-Council upon the application of the Grantee, may reduce the rent payable under this Grant to such an extent or may modify the terms of this Grant in such other manner as to the Governor-in-Council may seem equitable.

 PROVIDED also that in the event of the exportation of Raw Opium from India being prohibited during the term hereby granted and the Grantee not being able to procure suffi- cient opium for boiling the Grantee may give notice to the Governor-in-Council of his desire to surrender this Grant, and, if in the opinion of the Governor-in-Council such prohibition seriously affects the business of the Grantee, the onus of proof whereof shall rest on the Grantee, the Governor-in-Council may thereupon, or so soon thereafter as he may deem desirable cancel the same. Nothing in the two preceding provisos is to be taken to mean that an alteration in the quantity of opium exported from India is to be accepted as primâ facie evidence that the Farmer is entitled to a reduction of rent or to a modification of the terms of this Grant.

IN WITNESS whereof, I, THE SAID GOVERNOR, have set my Hand and the Seal of the said Colony to these presents on the

The buoys will be moored with the shortest lengths of chain practicable.

Part I provides penalties in respect of malicious damage to Railways and Tramways.

The Principal Ordinance was based on the Imperial Act, 24 and 25 Vict., cap. 97, (the Malicious Injuries to Prop- erty Act, 1861) but omitted these two sections, presum- ably because there were no railways in Hongkong in 1865

to

Part II.-The Trees Preservation Ordinance 1888 makes provision for the levy of a special rate assessed upon vill- ages by whose inhabitants there is sufficient reason believe that trees have been destroyed. It has however proved unsatisfactory in practice for the following reasons:-

(a.) Villages in the New Territories are not assessed for rates and the special rate cannot accordingly be levied upon them until an assessment has been made.

The

(b.) By Order of the Governor-in-Council under the Rating Ordinance 1901 tenements below a rateable value of $20 are not rateable. special rate accordingly can be assessed only upon the few better class houses in a village, the majority of the inhabitants escaping the penalty.

The present measure provides that, when wilful damage is done to Crown property or land in the neighbourhood of a village, all persons who possess land in or near the village shall be liable to a fine.

No. 5 of 1893.

Memorandum.

The primary object of this measure is to transfer from the Justices of the Peace to the Government the control of publican's and adjunct licences.

The existing system, whereby these licences are issued by the Justices, has been proved in practice to be cumbrous by reason of the lengthy procedure attendant under the Principal Ordinance upon the issue of a licence and to be more a matter of form than of utility by reason of the fact that the meetings are attended for the most part only by the presiding Magistrate, the Captain Superintendent of Police and one other official Justice called in to make a

quorum.

The person most competent to judge of the merits of a candidate for a licence and of the suitability of a locality in which it is desired to open licensed premises is the Captain Superintendent of Police, upon whom devolves the duty of ensuring that the business of the licensee is carried on in a proper and orderly manner. It is proposed accordingly to give the Captain Superintendent of Police power to issue all publican's and adjunct licences subject to the right of appeal on the part of an aggrieved party to the Governor-in-Council.

The requirement of the Principal Ordinance that a licensee shall enter into a recognisance is repealed, as any breach of the conditions under which a licence is held can be fully dealt with under sectious 38 and 39 of the Principal Ordinance.

Section 3 of this Ordinance gives the Governor-in- Council power to make such regulations as he may think fit, for the purpose of controlling the business carried on by the holder of a publican's or an adjunct licence.

Section 6 empowers the Governor-in-Council to regulate the standard of quality of all intoxicating liquors sold in the Colony.

Under section 9 the Governor-in-Council is given power to transfer the duty of issuing and renewing licences from the Colonial Secretary to other officers.

It is proposed to place these duties entirely in the hands of the Captain Superintendent of Police who by the nature of his office is the officer best qualified to control the sale of intoxicating liquors.

(i.) A deposit of $30,000, or of Title Deeds, or other approved securities to a like

amount, and

(ii.) An agreement to be executed by him on a form provided by the Treasurer, to the effect that, if he should decline to accept a grant of the Farm on the terms of the tender sent in by him or fail to give the prescribed security for such grant, such deposit or securities shall be forfeited to the Crown.

Particulars of the security offered must be submitted to the Treasurer before the 1st day of November, 1909, for the approval of the Government, and the security shall be in such form as the Treasurer may require. Title- deeds of land in any British Territory may be submitted for approval.

KNOW YE, therefore, that in pursuance of the said agreement and in consideration of the premises and of the payment by the Grantee of the monthly sum of

on the first day of each month, in advance, during the term hereby granted, and in pur- suance of the said Ordinance, I, THE SAID GOVERNOR, by and with the advice of the said Executive Council, have given and granted and by these presents (the form whereof has been determined by me in Council) under the seal of the said Colony for myself and my successors in the Government of the same, DO GIVE AND GRANT unto the Grantee his executors and administrators, the sole privilege of preparing Opium and of selling within the said Colony (including the New Territories) Opium so prepared inclusive of the privilege of collecting dross, and of preparing and dealing in Dross Opium, for and during the term hereinafter expressed, in conformity with, and subject to the Ordinance in that behalf pro- vided, and to the following conditions and stipulations :-

That the Grantee shall have no Raw Opium in his possession except what is reported through the Imports and Exports Office; and, unless the special permission of the Governor to exceed that amount is obtained, shall not draw more than nine hundred chests of Raw Opium in each completed year of the Farm; and that if any prepared opium is imported into the Colony by the Grantee an equivalent deduction shall be made in the number of chests of Raw Opium drawn by the Grantee.

658

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, SEPTEMBER 3, 1909.

3. That the Grantee shall not part with any Opium in the raw state either by sale or otherwise, but only prepared Opium fit for smoking.

4. That the Grantee shall not grant to any person any licence to boil or prepare Opium.

5. That the Grantee shall have only one establishment for boiling and preparing Opium; such establishment to be approved by the Governor.

7. That the Grantee shall not have loose Opium (as defined by the Opium Ordinance, 1909), elsewhere than in his boiling establishment, and shall not have in his possession or under his control any Raw Opium other than that covered by a removal permit authorizing the conveyance of such Raw Opium to such establishment.

8. That the breach of any of the provisions of the Opium Ordinance, 1909, or of any rules or regulations made thereunder or of any of the above conditions or stipulations shall involve the liability to a forfeiture of the grant and of the security deposited with the Colonial Treasurer.

AND so as that the Grantee, his executors, and administrators, subject to such condi- tions and stipulations, shall and lawfully may have and enjoy the whole profit, benefit, com- modity, and advantage, from time to time, during the said term, coming, growing, accruing and arising by reason of the said privileges, TO HAVE, HOLD, USE, EXERCISE, AND ENJOY the premises hereby granted, subject as aforesaid, together with the power to grant licences as in the said Ordinance provided subject to such conditions as shall from time to time be approved by the Governor-in-Council, and all other powers incident to the said privileges, and all benefit and advantage of the said Ordinance and conditions or any of them, unto the Grantee, his executors, and administrators, for and during and unto the full end and term of three whole years commencing with the First day of March, 1910: PRO- VIDED always and these presents are upon this express condition, that if, at any time during the said term hereby granted, the Grantee, his executors, or administrators, shall not, upon his or their part or behalf, pay the said monthly rent at the time appointed or shall fail to observe, perform, and keep any of the said conditions and stipulations, or any of the provisions of these presents, or of the said Ordinance, then and in any or either of the said cases it shall be lawful for the Governor-in-Council to cancel these presents, and in such case the same shall forthwith cease, determine and be utterly void, save as hereinafter provided: PROVIDED always, and it is hereby expressly declared, that the said

his executors, or administrators shall be and remain liable to make good to the Governor all losses and expenses incurred by reason of such default in payment or by reason of the non-observance or non-performance of any of the said conditions and stipula- tions or any of the provisions of these presents or of the said Ordinance, or by reason of any re-sale or re-grant of the said privileges which the Governor-in-Council may thereupon make.

PROVIDED always that in the event of the exportation of Raw Opium from India being so restricted during the term hereby granted, as in the opinion of the Governor-in- Council seriously to affect the business of the Grantee, the onus of proof whereof shall rest on the Grantee, the Governor-in-Council upon the application of the Grantee, may reduce. the rent payable under this Grant to such an extent or may modify the terms of this Grant in such other manner as to the Governor-in-Council may seem equitable.

PROVIDED also that in the event of the exportation of Raw Opium from India being prohibited during the term hereby granted and the Grantee not being able to procure suffi- cient opium for boiling the Grantee may give notice to the Governor-in-Council of his desire to surrender this Grant, and, if in the opinion of the Governor-in-Council such prohibition seriously affects the business of the Grantee, the onus of proof whereof shall rest on the Grantee, the Governor-in-Council may thereupon, or so soon thereafter as he may deem desirable cancel the same. Nothing in the two preceding provisos is to be taken to mean that an alteration in the quantity of opium exported from India is to be accepted as primâ. facie evidence that the Farmer is entitled to a reduction of rent or to a modification of the terms of this Grant.

IN WITNESS whereof, I, THE SAID GOVERNOR, have set my Hand and the Seal of the said Colony to these presents on the

756

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, OCTOBER 1, 1909.

AND WHEREAS it is expedient, with a view to equalizing as far as may be the conditions under which His Majesty's subjects in the British Dominions beyond the Seas shall have a right of Appeal to His Majesty in Council and to promoting uniformity in the practice and procedure in all such Appeals that new provision should be made for Appeals from the said Supreme Court to His Majesty in Council:

AND WHEREAS His Majesty has been pleased by His Instructions under the Royal Sign Manual and Signet bearing even date with this Order to revoke the said Instructions dated the 21st day of January, 1846, so confirmed as aforesaid:

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED by the King's Most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice of His Privy Council, that the Rules hereunder set out shall regulate all Appeals to His Majesty in Council from the said Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies.

1. In these Rules, unless the context otherwise requires :-

66

Appeal" means Appeal to His Majesty in Council ;

"His Majesty" includes His Majesty's heirs and successors ;

Judgment" includes decree, order, sentence or decision;

"Court" mean either the Full Court of the Supreme Court of Hongkong or other the highest Court of Appeal for the time being established in the Colony of Hongkong, or a single Judge of such Supreme Court or Court of Appeal, according as the matter in question is one which, under the Rules and Practice for the time being in force in such Supreme Court or Court of Appeal, properly appertains to the said Full Court or to a single Judge of such Supreme Court or Court of Appeal ;

"Record" means the aggregate of papers relating to an Appeal (including the

pleadings, proceedings, evidence and judgments) proper to be laid befor His Majesty in Council on the hearing of the Appeal ;

66

Registrar" means the Registrar or other proper officer having the

the Records in the Court appealed from;

"Month ""

means calendar month ;

Words in the singular include the plural, and words in the plural include the

singular.

2. Subject to the provisions of these Rules, an Appeal shall lie-

(a) as of right, from any final judgment of the Court, where the matter in dispute on the Appeal amounts to or is of the value of $5,000 or upwards, or where the Appeal involves, directly or indirectly, some claim or question to or respecting property or some civil right amounting to or of the value of $5,000 or upwards; and

(b) at the discretion of the Court, from any other judgment of the Court, whether final or interlocutory, if, in the opinion of the Court, the question involved in the Appeal is one which, by reason of its great general or public im- portance, or otherwise, ought to be submitted to His Majesty in Council for decision.

3. Applications to the Court for leave to appeal shall be made by motion or petition within 14 days from the date of the judgment to be appealed from, and the Applicant shall give the opposite party 7 days' notice of his intended application and such notice may be given at any time during the said period of 14 days.

4. Leave to appeal under Rule 2 shall only be granted by the Court in the first

instance :-

(a) upon condition of the Appellant, within a period to be fixed by the Court, but not exceeding three months from the date of the hearing of the application for leave to appeal, entering into good and suffi- cient security, to the satisfaction of the Court, in a sum not exceeding $5,000, for the due prosecution of the Appeal, and the payment of all such costs as may become payable to the Respondent in the event of the Appellant's not obtaining an order granting him final leave to appeal, or of the Appeal being dismissed for non-prosecution, or of His Majesty in Council ordering the Appellant to pay the Respondent's costs of the Appeal (as the case may be); and

تیم

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, OCTOBER 1, 1909. 757

(b.) upon such other conditions (if any) as to the time or times within which the Appellant shall take the necessary steps for the purpose of procuring the preparation of the Record and the despatch the eof to England as the Court, having regard to all the circumstances of the case, may think it reasonable to impose.

5. Where the judgment appealed from requires the Appellant to pay money or per- form a duty, the Court shall have power, when granting leave to appeal, either to direct that the said judgment shall be carried into execution or that the execution thereof shall be suspended pending the Appeal, as to the Court shall seem just.

In case the Court shall direct the said judgment to be carried into execution, the person in whose favour it was given shall, before the execution thereof, enter into

goo Land suffi- cient security, to the satisfaction of the Court, for the due performance of such Order as His Majesty in Council shall think fit to make thereon, and in case the Court shall direct that the execution of the said judgment shall be suspended pending the Appeal the Appellant shall enter into security to the satisfaction of the Court to the same and like effect as aforesaid,

6. The preparation of the Record shall be subject to the supervision of the 'Court, and the parties may submit any disputed question arising in connection therewith to the decision of the Court, and the Court shall give such dire tions thereon as the justice of the cise may require

7. The Registrar, as well as the parties and their legal Agents, shall endeavour to exclude from the Record all documents (more particularly such as are merely formal) that are not relevant to the subject-matter of the Appeal, and generally to reduce the bulk of the Record as far as practicable, taking special care to avoid the duplication of documents and the unnecessary repetition of headings and other merely formal parts of documents; but the documents omitted to be copied or printed shall be enumerated in a list to be placed after the index or at the end of the Record.

8. Where in the course of the preparation of a Record one party objects to the inclusion of a document on the ground that it is unnecessary or irrelevant, and the other party never- theless insists upon its being included, the Record, as finally printe. (whether in Hongkong or in England), shall, with a view to the subsequent adjustment of the costs of and incidental to such document, indicate in the index of papers, or otherwise, the fact that, and the party by whom, the inclusion of the document was objected to.

9. The Record shall be printed in accordance with the Rules set forth in the Schedule hereto. It may be so printed either in Hongkong or in England.

10. Where the Record is printed in Hongkong the Registrar shall, at the expense of the Appellant, transmit to the Registrar of the Privy Council 40 copies of such Record, one of which copies he shall certify to be correct by signing his name on, or initialling, every eighth page thereof and by affixing thereto the seal, if any, of the Court.

11. Where the Record is to be printed in England, the Registrar shall, at the expense of the Appellant, transmit to the Registrar of the Privy Council one certified copy of such Record, together with an index of all the papers and exhibits in the case. No other certi- fied copies of the Record shall be transmitted to the Agents in England by or on behalf of the parties to the Appeal.

12. Where part of the Record is printed in Hongkong and part is to be printed in England, Rules 10 and 11 shall, as far as practicable, apply to such parts as are printed in Hongkong and such parts as are to be printed in England respectively.

13. The reasons given by the Judge, or any of the Judges, for or against any judgment pronounced in the course of the proceedings out of which the Appeal arises shall by such Judge or Judges be communicated in writing to the Registrar, and shall by him be trans- mitted to the Registrar of the Privy Council at the same time when the Record is trans- mitted.

14. Where there are two or more applications for leave to appeal arising out of the same matter, and the Court is of opinion that it would be for the convenience of the Lords of the Judicial Committee and all parties concerned that the Appeals should be consolidated, the Court may direct the Appeals to be consolidated and grant leave to appeal by a single order.

і

758

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, OCTOBER 1, 1909.

15. An Appellant who has obtained an order granting him conditional leave to appeal may at any time prior to the making of an order granting him final leave to appeal withdraw his Appeal on such terms as to costs and otherwise as the Court may direct.

16. Where an Appellant, having obtained an order granting him conditional leave to appeal, and having complied with the conditions imposed on him by such order, fails there- after to apply with due diligence to the Court for an order granting him final leave to appeal, the Court may, on an application in that behalf made by the Respondent, rescind the order granting conditional leave to appeal, notwithstanding the Appellant's compliance with the conditions imposed by such order, and may give such directions as to the costs of the Appeal and the security entered into by the Appellant as the Court shall think fit, or make such further or other order in the premises as, in the opinion of the Court, the justice of the case requires.

17. On an application for final leave to appeal, the Court may inquire whether notice, or sufficient notice, of the application has been given by the Appellant to all parties concerned, and, if not satisfied as to the notices given, may defer the granting of the final leave to appeal, or may give such other directions in the matter as in the opinion of the Court the justice of the case requires.

18. An Appellant who has obtained final leave to appeal shall prosecute his Appeal in accordance with the Rules for the time being regulating the general practice and procedure in Appeals to His Majesty in Council.

19. Where an Appellant, having obtained final leave to appeal, desires, prior to the despatch of the Record to Eugland, to withdraw his Appeal, the Court may, upon an appli- cation in that behalf made by the Appellant, grant him a certificate to the effect that the Appeal has been withdrawn, and the Appeal shall thereupon be deemed, as from the date of such certificate, to stand dismissed without express Order of His Majesty in Council, and the costs of the Appeal and the security entered into by the Appellant shall be dealt with in such manner as the Court may think fit to direct.

20. Where an Appellant, having obtained final leave to appeal, fails to show due dili- gence in taking all necessary steps for the purpose of procuring the despatch of the Record to England, the Respondent may, after giving the Appellant due notice of his intended appli- cation, apply to the Court for a certificate that the Appeal has not been effectually prosecuted by the Appellant, and if the Court sees fit, to grant such a certificate, the Appeal shall be deemed, as from the date of such certificate, to stand dismissed for non-prosecution without express Order of His Majesty in Council, and the costs of the Appeal and the security entered into by the Appellant shall be dealt with in such manner as the Court may think fit to direct.

21. Where at any time between the order granting final leave to appeal and the despatch of the Record to England the Record becomes defective by reason of the death, or change of status, of a party to the Appeal, the Court may, notwithstanding the order granting final leave to appeal, on an application in that behalf made by any person interested, grant a certificate showing who, in the opinion of the Court, is the proper person to be substituted or entered on the Record in place of, or in addition to, the party who has died or undergone a change of status, and the name of such person shall thereupon be deemed to be so sub- stituted or entered on the Record as aforesaid without express Order of His Majesty in Council.

22. Where the Record subsequently to its despatch to England becomes defective by reason of the death, or change of status, of a party to the Appeal, the Court shall, upon an application in that behalf made by any person interested, cause a certificate to be transmitted to the Registrar of the Privy Council showing who, in the opinion of the Court, is the pro- per person to be substituted, or entered, on the Record, in place of, or in addition to, the party who has died or undergone a change of status.

23. The Case of each party to the Appeal may be printed either in Hongkong or in England, and shall, in either event, be printed in accordance with the Rules set forth in the Schedule hereto, every tenth line thereof being numbered in the margin, and shall be signed by at least one of the Counsel who attends at the hearing of the Appeal, or by the party himself if he conducts his Appeal in person.

!

11

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, OCTOBER 1, 1909. 759

24. The Case shall consist of paragraphs numbered consecutively, and shall state, as concisely as possible, the circumstances out of which the Appeal arises, the contentions to be urged by the party lodging the same, and the reasons of the Appeal. References by page and line to the relevant portions of the Record as printed shall, as far as practicable, be printed in the margin, and care shall be taken to avoid, as far as possible, the reprinting in the Case of long extracts from the Record. The taxing officer, in taxing the costs of the Appeal, shall, either of his own motion or at the instance of the opposite party, inquire into any unnecessary prolixity in the Case, and shall disallow the costs occasioned thereby.

25. Where the Judicial Committee directs a party to bear the costs of an Appeal incurred in Hongkong, snch costs shall be taxed by the proper officer of the Court in accordance with the Rules for the time being regulating taxation in the Court.

26. The Court shall conform with, and execute, any Order which His Majesty in Council may think fit to make on an Appeal from a judgment of the Court in like manner as any original judgment of the Court should or might have been executed.

*

27. Nothing in these Rules contained shall be deemed to interfere with the right of His Majesty, upon the humble Petition of any person aggrieved by any judgment of the Court, to admit his Appeal therefrom upon such conditions as His Majesty in Council shall think fit to impose.

Memorandum.

The law and practice relating to Trade Marks in this Colony is not consistent with the law and practice in force in the United Kingdom. The latter was consolidated in 1905 and is embodied in the Trade Marks Act, 1995, and the Rules made thereunder.

It is considered desirable to introduce that Act and those Rules into the Colony with only such alterations as are necessary, so that our law and practice may be as far as possible uniform with those at home.

The principal alterations that have been made are :-

The substitution of the Governor for the Board of Trade an applicant for registration has the option of appealing from the Registrar either to the Governor or to the Court (Section 9) and in opposed cases an appeal from the Re- gistrar lies either to the Court or by consent of the parties to the Governor (Section 14). A new section (22) has been introduced empower- ing the Registrar to refuse to register a mark if he is satisfied that it conflicts with a mark already registered in any part of the British Dominions from which the goods covered by the mark originate.

A proviso has been added to Section 38 to prevent the removal of a mark from the Register for non-user in Hongkong if the mark is registered and in use in any part of the British Domi- nions (cf. Section 37 of English Act).

A special section (43) has been introduced em- powering the Court to remove a mark from the Register on application made within 7 years from registration and upon proof that the mark conflicts with a mark which was registered in any part of the British Dominions from which the goods covered by the mark originate before the registration of the first mentioned mark in Hongkong.

The offence created by Section 61 is limited to falsely representing a mark as registered in Hongkong which is not so registered (Section. 67 of English Act).

An Ordinance to amend the Chinese Extradition

Ordinance, 1889.

Br it enacted by the Governor of Hongkong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows:-

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Chinese Extra- Short title. dition Amendment Ordinance, 1909.

This amendment is made at the request of the Chief Justice who has pointed out that the provision requiring his attendance at the Executive Council to assist in the consi- deration of a question whether an alleged fugitive criminal should be surrendered might lead to His Honour being placed in an embarrassing situation, as a fugitive whose surrender had been decided upon, might thereafter apply to the Chief Justice for a writ of Habeas Corpus to test the validity of an order for his surrender,

All.

I.

CAUTION WHEN APPROACHING BRITISH PORTS.

(1.) My Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, having taken into consideration the fact that circumstances may arise in which it may be necessary, on account of periodical exercises, manœuvres, or otherwise, to forbid all entrance to the Naval Ports at night, this is to give Notice that on approaching the shores of Great Fritain, or any port of the British Empire, if search lights are observed to be in constant operation, the Naval Ports should be approached with great caution, as it may be apprehended that obstructions may exist outside. or that the entrances may be altogether closed.

(2.) If an entrance to a port is closed, three red vertical lights by night, or three red balls by day, will be exhibited in some conspicuous position, in or near to its approach, and as far as possible notice of this fact will be given by look-out vessels in the offing.

In this case vessels must either proceed to the position marked Anchorage" on the Admiralty charts and anchor there, or keep the sea.

"Examination

II.

EXAMINATION SERVICE.

(1.) In the event of relations becoming strained between this country and any Naval Power, it may become necessary to take special measures to examine vessels desiring to enter the ports or localities in the United Kingdom and His Majesty's Possessions abroad, men- tioned at the end of this Notice.

(2.) In such case, vessels carrying the distinguishing flags or lights mentioned in para- graph (4) will be charged with the duty of examining ships which desire to enter the ports and of allotting positions in which they shall anchor.

(3.) As the institution of the Examination Service at any port will never be publicly advertised, especial care should be taken in approaching the ports, by day or night, at such times of strained relations, to keep a sharp look out for any vessel carrying the above-men- tioned flags or lights, and to be ready to "bring to at once when hailed by her or warned

by the firing of a gun.

""

(4.) By day the distinguishing flags of the Ixamination Steamer will be a special flag (white and red horizontal surrounded by a blue border) and a blue ensign.

Also, three red vertical balls if the port is closed.

By night the steamer will carry:-

(a.) Three red vertical lights if the port is closed.

(b.) Three white vertical lights if the port is open.

The above lights will be carried in addition to the ordinary navigation lights, and will show an unbroken light around the horizon.

864

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, OCTOBER 22, 1909.

(5.) Masters are warned that, before attempting to enter any of these ports when the Examination Service is in force, they must in their own interests strictly obey all instruc tions as to entry given to them by the Examination Steamer. In the absence of any instruc- tions from the Examination Steamer they must proceed to the position marked "Examina- tion Anchorage" on the Admiralty Charts and anchor there.

(6.) In case of fog, Masters of vessels are enjoined to use the utmost care, and the Examination Anchorage itself should be approached with caution.

(7.) The pilots attached to the ports will be acquainted with the regulations to be followed.

QUESTIONS. Mr. HEWETT, pursuant to notice, asked the following questions :-

As it is understood that Mr. A. Carter, Sanitary Surveyor, has been retired from the Government service, will the Honourable the Colonial Secretary inform the Council when this official first received notice as to his being pensioned? Is it not a fact that Mr. Carter was at home on leave for nearly a twelvemonth in the full belief that he was to return to this Colony and that within five weeks of the date of the expiring of his leave (as shown in the Civil Service List) and when he was on the point of leaving England to take up his appointment here he was for the first time informed by the Colonial Office that his services were no longer required?

Will the Government, taking into consideration the fact of Mr. Carter's good service, and that owing to his age he is now no longer eligible for obtaining fresh employment in a Government or municipal office, recommend to the Secretary of State that under the exceptional circumstances of the case Mr. Carter be granted a special pension of say £130 p.a.; or as an alternative an offer of re-employment here on similar conditions to those of his former post?

In the event of the Government being unable to agree to this will His Excellency consent to refer the question as now raised to the Secretary of State?

The Colonial Secretary replied.

Mr. STEWART, pursuant to notice, asked the following question :-

To whom, for what public purpose, and for how long has the plot of Government

ground between the New Law Courts and the Praya been let?

The Director of Public Works replied.

SUBSIDIARY COINAGE.-Mr. STEWART gave notice that he would move the following Resolution at the next meeting of the Council :-

That in the opinion of this Council the issue of a new subsidiary coinage convertible at par would not be successful unless the use of all other subsidiary coins were prohibited in the Colony, and that, in the circumstances, it is undesirable to deal with the matter except as part of a comprehensive scheme of local currency reform.

FINDING.

We find that the British S.S. Tak Hing Official No. 109374 of Hongkong, WILLIAM BISHOP, who holds a certificate of competency as Master No. 017537 London, was Master, sailed from Hongkong at 6 p.m. on 18th October, 1909, on a voyage to Kongmun, West River, with a general cargo of about 40 tons, and about 60 passengers. That at the time she left Hongkong a signal was flying in the Harbour denoting that a typhoon was in the vicinity, within 30 miles of the Colony, and that the indications showed that it was proba- bly approaching the Colony.

That she arrived at Kongmun safely at about 4 a.m. on the 19th and anchored in her usual position, the weather then being clear, with a fresh to strong breeze from N.N.W. At 4 p.m. the wind shifted to N. and freshened and continued to freshen during the evening, the weather becoming very dirty, with hard squalls and rain.

At about 6 p.m. the Tak Hing shifted berth to centre of river, anchoring with the starboard (heaviest) anchor and veering to 60 fathoms of chain. At 11.45 p.m. the port anchor was let go under foot to steady the ship, and another 15 fathoms of chain veered to starboard anchor.

At 12.40 a very hard squall struck the ship, sending her on her beam ends and driving her ashore on the river bank, where she still remains.

We consider that the Master and Mate took all necessary precautions, and behaved in a seamanlike manner. According to the evidence the Chinese crew failed to render any

assistance.

The certificated officers are acquitted from all blame.

Given under our hands at Victoria in the Colony of Hongkong this twenty-six day of November, 1909.

RESOLUTION. Mr. STEWART, pursuant to notice, addressed the Council and moved the following Resolution :--

That in the opinion of this Council the issue of a new subsidiary coinage convertible at par would not be successful unless the use of all other subsidiary coins were prohibited in the Colony, and that, in the circumstances, it is undesirable to deal with the matter except as part of a comprehensive scheme of local cur- rency reform.

Mr. HEWETT addressed the Council and seconded.

Mr. OSBORNE and His Excellency the Governor addressed the Council, and the Resolu- tion was subsequently withdrawn.

QUESTIONS. Mr. STEWART, pursuant to notice, asked the following questions:----

(1.) Is it a fact that, in the original instance, the postponement of the King's Birth- day Celebrations was ordered by the Secretary of State without any previous reference of the matter to, or consultation with, the Government of this Colony?

(2.) If so, will the Government convey to the Secretary of State a respectful intima-

tion that such treatment is resented in the Colony?

(3.) In view of the fact that the well known date of the birthday of His Britannic Majesty was chosen for the obsequies of the late Dowager Empress of China some weeks ago, and that up to last Friday the Secretary of State gave no sign that he considered that the claims of the latter over-rode those of the former in this British Colony, has the Government any information as to the reason for this sudden change of attitude?

The Colonial Secretary replied.

QUESTIONS.-Mr. STEWART, pursuant to notice, asked the following questions :-

Is it necessary to the work on the Post Office that the plot of Government Land between the Law Courts and the Praya should be largely occupied as work- men's dwellings?

How many people are housed nightly in the quarters which the Contractor is allowed to maintain there, and what rent, if any, does he draw from their occupation? Are all the people housed there engaged in work on the Post Office?

And are we to understand that the public may be asked to put up with the nuisance created by the condition of the plot in question for the year or more during which the Post Office will be in course of construction?

The Director of Public Works replied.

CHRISTIAN BURIAL GROUND BILL.-The Attorney General moved the Third reading of the Bill entitled An Ordinance to set apart certain Crown Land to be used as a burial ground for persons professing the Christian Religion.

Clerk of Councils.

Draft Rules proposed to be made by the

Governor-in-Council

under Section 10 of the Steam Boilers Ordinance, 1909, (Ordinance No. 32 of 1909).

Laid before the Legislative Council by Command of His Excellency the Governor, December 2nd, 1909.

1. Inspectors of boilers under Section 3 of the Ordinance shall perform their duties- under the direction of the Government, to whom they are held personally responsible.

2. They shall keep in Forms A and B an Index Register and Dimension Sheet of all Boilers and Prime Movers for which they issue certificates under the operation of the Ordin-

ance.

3. There shall be two kinds of Inspections:-

(A.) A thorough examination every twelve months; for which purpose the boilers must be emptied, cooled, cleaned and flues swept, and, if required by the Inspector, any parts or settings shall be removed for a complete examination of the boilers and main steam pipes connected therewith.

The prime movers to be opened up and working parts exposed.

Provided that, when the prime movers are in charge of certificated engineers, a certificate to the effect that the prime mover has been examined and found in order will be accepted in lieu of the examination by the Inspectors.

(B.) A special examination every fourth year.

4. Inspection A :-

(1.) The examination shall be held every twelve months, the owner giving a week's notice to the Inspector of the time most convenient to the said owner, and in default of such notice the Inspector shall select his own time, giving one week's notice in Form C.

(2.) This examination is to be on every part of the boiler and its fittings including the main steam pipes connected therewith and is also to include the adjustment of safety valves with steam on the boiler. If after giving one week's notice as required in the foregoing paragraph, the boilers are not cool, clean, flues swept, etc. and ready for inspection on the date named according to the requirements of Notice C, or if any request made to remove fittings or settings be not complied with, then the Inspector may prohibit the working of the boilers and shall immediately report the case to the Government.

Provision shall be made for recording results of the Inspection by the Inspectors.

(3.) If the Inspector, after making such examination is satisfied that such boiler and prime mover is in good condition, he shall, on payment by the owner thereof of the pre- scribed fees, forward to the Government a certificate in the form prescribed in the Schedule to the Ordinance and furnish the owner with a duplicate certificate thereof.

(4.) When the boilers are in charge of non-resident certificated engineers, one visit per month shall be made by them, and they must forthwith report in writing the result and date of visit to the Government.

APPENDIX.

(1.) The Inspector shall fix the working pressure for boilers, coming in for examina- tion for the first time, by a series of calculations for the strength of the various parts and according to the workmanship and material.

(2.) When boilers are made throughout of iron, or when boilers have certain parts made of iron, tests of such material need not be asked for.

(3.) When steel has been used in the construction of new boilers the Inspector is to for, and obtain if possible, the steel makers' record of the tests as usually issued with terial for boilers.

(4.) Cylindrical Shells:-

The working pressure of the cylindrical shells of steel boilers may be obtained.

from the following formula :-

C (T-1) E W

re C-19.7 when the longitudinal seams are fitted with double butt straps of equal width and of a thickness at least equal to that obtained from the formula for butt straps.

W=Working pressure, in lbs., per square inch.

The constant (C) is to be used with steel of the minimum strength of 26 tons per square inch and not less than 18 per cent. extension in 8 inches; when a higher tensile strength is guaranteed the constant may be proportionately increased up to the maximum tensile for shell plate, viz., 32 tons per square inch.

(5.) Double Butt Straps:

When all the rows of rivets in the butts are of the same pitch each strap must be at least five-eighths of the thickness of the shell plate and when the pitch of the outer row of rivets is twice that of centre row the thickness of each plate is to be in accordance with the following formula :-

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, DECEMBER 3, 1909.

It is expected that all rivet holes in new steel boilers are drilled in place. In the case of the rivet holes being formed by punching the Inspector must submit the case for the special consideration of the Government.

The pressure of new boilers by calculation will of necessity be affected unless reasonable proof of inspection during construction be produced to the satisfaction of the Government.

(7.) Flat Surfaces:-

The working pressure allowed on the flat surfaces of boilers made from steel plates may be found from the following formula :-

C (c) (T+1) 2 ____

If the diameter of n washers be at least two-thirds the pitch of the stays and the thickness not less than plates they cover the constant may be increased to 195. If doubling strips are fitted of same thickness as the plate they cover and not less in width than two-thirds the pitch of i stays the constant may be increased to 210. If doubling plates cover the whole of the fl surface the constant may be increased to 265.

C-115 when the stays are free from the impact of heat or flame and the stays are fitted with nuts only.

C=75 when the plates are free from the impact of heat or flame and the stays are screwed into the plates and riveted over.

C=80 when the plates are exposed to the impact of heat or flame and steam in contact with the plates and the stays fitted with nuts and washers, the latter being at least three times the diameter of the stay and two-thirds the thickness of the plates they cover.

C-70 when the plates are exposed to the impact of heat or flame and steam in contact with the plates and the stays fitted with nuts only.

C=105 when the plates are exposed to the impact of heat or flame with water in contact with the plates and the stays screwed into the plates and fitted with nuts.

C-70 when the plates are exposed to the impact of heat or flame with water in contact with the plates and the stays screwed into the plates and having the ends riveted over to form substantial heads.

C-40 when the plates are exposed to the impact of heat or flame and steam in contact with the plates with the stay screwed in the plates and having the ends riveted over to form substantial heads.

Dished ends in compression may be calculated by the above formula but S-4,000. When dished ends are of iron S is to be reduced 24 per cent.

Hemispherical ends may be allowed double the working pressure given to a cylinder of the same diameter and thickness, but the ends are to be formed of not less than four pieces.

The dished ends of vertical boilers having an uptake joining crown of firebox and top of boiler, if equal to the required pressure when considered as portions of spheres, will require to be stayed, but the stays may, if of iron, be allowed a pressure of 16,000 lbs. per square inch of nett section and if of steel 20,000 lbs. per square inch of nett section.

(11.) The neutral portions of boiler shells under steam domes will require to be efficiently stiffened or stayed.

(12.) Compensating rings should be fitted round all manhole and handhole openings in boilers equal in section to the portion cut out, such compensating rings not to be less in thickness than the plate they cover.

(13.) Boilers coming in for inspection for the first time should be tested by hydraulic pressure to at least one and three-quarter times and not more than twice the working pressure, ascertained after inspection and calculation.

ed unless Governor

declines.

"12.-(1.) In any case where the Board allows the claim a lease shall be granted within such time as may be convenient, unless the Governor in his discretion declines to grant a lease in which case the claim shall be referred to the Director of Public Works who may negotiate with the claimant in respect of the grant of a lease of other land or lands in lieu of the holding in relation to which the claim is made.

Provided always that in estimating any claim for compensation the Director of Public Works shall take into consideration the condi- tion of a building as regards the security of its structure and its sanitary condition.

(3.) No appeal shall lie from any decision of the Director of Public Works under this section."

Memorandum.

This Bill amends section 12 of the Squatters Ordinance, 1890.

In certain cases squatters' claims have been allowed by the Board but it has been deemed desirable to withhold the grant of Leases until sanitary buildings have been con- structed and it is now proposed to give the Director of Public Works the alternative power of arranging for the grant of new sites in approved positions in exchange for the original holdings.

In the event of the arrangement not being effected the amount of compensation payable to the claimant is to be assessed by the Director of Public Works.

BRITISH TRADE MARKS IN JAPAN.

With reference to previous notices in the Board of Trade Journal on the above subject, the Board of Trade are in receipt, through the Foreign Office, of a memorandum prepared by His Majesty's Commercial Attaché at Yokohama which deals with the question of the proof of knowledge of registration on the part of a defendant in a criminal action for infringe- ment of a trade mark.

""

From this memorandum it would appear that, in the opinion of the Japanese l'atent Bureau, Article 38 of the Criminal Code of Japan, which says "There is exemption from penalty when the accused has not had the intention of committing an infraction, save in cases determined by special provisions of the Law.....

renders it necessary for the plaintiffs in a criminal action for infringement of a trade mark to prove that the defendant had the intention of committing an infraction, or in other words, that he knew that the trade mark which he infringed was registered.

In view of this opinion all owners of registered trade marks in use in Japan are recom- mended to place on their trade marks an indication of registration (such as the words Tōroku Shōhyō, or the Japanese characters meaning Registered Trade Mark) so as to leave no pre- text to infringers.

No. 777. It is hereby notified that LA SOCIÉTÉ COMMERCIALE ET INDUSTRIELLE DE NAPHTE CASPIENNE ET DE LA MER NOIRE has, by assignment, transferred its two trade marks registered on the 29th August, 1890, in respect of Petroleum, in Class 4, to the ASIATIC PETROLEUM COMPANY, LIMITED, of 24 and 28, St. Mary Axe, London, England.

Re-laying of Ice House Street with wood paving. (C.S.O. 1523/1905.)

The Members having discussed the relative merits and prices of other road materials and the somewhat heavy expense entailed by wood paving finally unanimously agreed that this street should be paved with this material as an experiment in such paving, adding that it would be possible when re-constructing to then improve this street by abolition of the gutters and in other ways.

Extension of Peak Tramway to Queen's Road. (C.S.O. 6272/1906.)

The Chairman then stated that he had been asked to "obtain the opinion of the Public Works Committee on the point whether the extension of the Peak Tramway to Queen's Road on trestles along Garden Road is a desirable improvement in the public interest". The Members were unanimously in favour of the extension but, after some considerable discus- sion, they decided that the question of trestles was a difficult matter to come to an opinion about with no plan before them. They stated that the least objectionable form of trestles, if there were no better means of carrying the tram line, should be adopted, but that as regards the form the line should take from the nullah to the Queen's Road, further details. should be supplied before the Public Works Committee be asked to express an opinion as to the desirability, or feasibility, of one system or another.

They did not however think that the vicinity to the Cathedral should prevent the exten- sion of this line by trestles or any other form of supports that might be decided upon.

COCKLE SPIT, APPROACH TO PORT PIRIE.

REFERRING to notices to mariners numbered 23 of 1905 and 4 of 1907, notice is hereby given that a pile beacon, carrying a clock-faced tide gauge, has been erected on the eastern end of Cockle Spit, in 17ft. L.W.S., near the position formerly occupied by the old tide gauge.

The clock faces north-west north, and will be illuminated at night with all possible regularity, but as from its exposed position difficulty may be experienced in attending to its lighting in bad weather, mariners are hereby warned not to trust to its being invariably illuminated under such conditions.

The dial is numbered from 0 to 11, beginning at the top and following round in the same direction as de figures on a clock, and the hand indicates the height above low-water spring tides. 1 ascertain the depth of water available in Port Pirie Creek therefore, the rise indicated on the tide gauge should be increased by 15ft., the least present depth in the creek at L.W.S.
