The following is the decision of the Court of Marine Inquiry held at Fremantle before the Resident Magistrate (Mr. E. P. Dowley), Captain John H. Foxworthy, and Captain John McConnachy, Assessors, into the circumstances attending the damage sustained by the S.S. Colne by stranding on the Inner Rip Shoal in King's Sound, in the Vicinity of Derby, on the 17th September, 1910, Official No. 89469, gross 1,480, net 958 tons, registered in Adelaide and owned by the Adelaide Steamship Company,

Ltd.

G. J. SINCLAIR, Secretary.

Finding of the Court.

The Court finds that the S.S. Colac left the jetty in King Sound on the 17th Septem- ber, 1910, to proceed to sea, at a time when the tide had been on the ebb for about two hours, and about one hour after the vessel took ground and suffered serious damage thereby.

   The Master of the S.S. Colae committed an error of judgment in leaving the jetty at Derby to proceed on his voyage at a time when the tide was two hours on the ebb.

6

Having committed that error of judgment he was subsequently guilty of laxity in navigating the vessel, inasmuch as that when she took the ground she was considerably to the Westward of the course she was supposed to follow, also in not making any allowance for any possible Westward set of the ebbing tide, which he ought to have known would cause the vessel to come into shoal water; and also knowing that there was shoal water at each side of a narrow passage he was endeavouring to get through, that he did not take all possibie precautions, such as heaving the lead, to see that he was in that passage.

  The Certificate of the Master, Walter John Snadden, No. 574, is therefore suspended for two months from 17th September, 1910.

Magistrate.

THE NAVIGATION ACT, 1904.

Harbour and Light Department,

FREMANTLE, 28th November, 1910.

The following Report and Finding of the Chief Harbour Master into the circumstances attending the loss of the schooner "Hugh Norman," in the vicinity of Cervantes Island, on or about the 28th October, 1910, has been approved by the Hon. the Colonial Secretary.

G. J. SINCLAIR,

Secretary.

The Under Treasurer.

I beg to report, for the information of the Hon. the Minister, having held a Preliminary Inquiry, on the 15th inst., into the circumstances attending the reported total loss of the schooner "Hugh Norman," in the vicinity of Cervantes Island, on or about the 28th Octo- ber, 1910.

The schooner "Hugh Norman" is a pearling vessel owned by Messrs. Robinson and Norman, of Broome, and registered in Fremantle, official number 125030.

After taking the evidence of the crew, T. E. Anderson the survivor, D. McDonald who deserted at Fremantle, Mr. A. E. Brown, the builder of the vessel and agent for the owners; Captain R. E. Arundel, the Underwriters' Surveyor; J. F. Morrison, Shipping Inspector to the Department; H. J. Clark, Assistant Wharf Manager, I have to report that the schooner "Hugh Norman"

       was recently built at Fremantle, and was on her maiden trip to Broome to enter into the Pearl Fishing industry.

The vessel was in charge of Captain W. Dundee, a duly qualified Master Mariner, and who has had a most extensive experience of the coast, more particularly in taking vessels of this description from Fremantle to Broome.

The day before the vessel sailed, viz., the 20th October, the Master was under the influence of intoxicating liquor, in consequence of which the vessel was detained.

On the morning of the 21st, the Master was sober, and the vessel was fully manned and equipped, having as crew McDonald, an experienced sailorman, and Anderson, with a fair knowledge of seamanship, and being in every respect seaworthy to the satisfaction of the Surveyor, who granted an Insurance Certificate. I might here mention that a casual search was made by the agent for any liquor, and about one-third of a bottle only was found.

The vessel left Victoria Quay about 10 a.m., and in beating out of the river by some means got foul of the North Mole wharf; here the seaman McDonald slipped ashore (deserted), alleging that he did so because he noticed that the foremast was sprung by coming into contact with the wharf. His action was not noticed by those on shore, but the agent seeing the boat in difficulties went to her assistance in a launch and towed him clear of the Mole.

     The vessel was handled in a seamanlike manner, Captain Dundee setting a N.N.W. course when the launch let him go, and as far as could be seen by those in the launch the lugger had not sustained any damage by being in contact with the jetty.

From the sworn evidence given by Anderson, the survivor, it appears that after setting the course the Master went below and immediately gave way to drink, having two or three bottles of whisky hidden on board, and when this was consumed he drank two bottles of methylated spirits, with the result that from that date he was not accountable for his actions, and not in a fit state to navigate the vessel.

At 6 p.m. on the 21st October (day of sailing) the foremast went over the side, and though the Master came on deck at 8 p.m., he did not attempt to clear the wreckage, which was left trailing over the side till he again came on deck on the 23rd, at 8 a.m., when it was taken in, and a jury sail rigged with a staysail to the mainmast. Up to this time the man Anderson had been continuously at the helm; he then went below; shortly after, on hearing a sail flapping, he again came on deck, and found the jurysail had carried away, and the Master lying asleep at the helm. At 2 p.m. Anderson succeeded in wakening the Master, who then altered the vessel's course to S.E. and went below. Land was sighted at about midnight and reported to the Master, and at about 2 a.m. on the 24th the vessel struck a reef about five miles from the shore. The Master then came on deck, but appeared stupefied, and the man got the boat out, but in doing so she filled and parted her painter.

The Master then ordered Anderson to swim for the boat, and when he refused because he saw sharks in the water, he attempted to put him over the side. Anderson then went below, and the Master followed and attacked him, and in the struggle bit his finger severely. The Master then appears to have calmed down and succumbed to the effects of the methylated spirits.

The Master remained below till the evening of the 26th, when he came on deck and assisted to bale out the vessel. During this time she continued to bump over the reefs, and to make water, getting nearer to shore.

He then

    At about 9 p.m. on the 27th, Anderson was awakened from a sleep on deck by hearing a splash, and in looking over the side he saw the Master swimming for the shore. fell off to sleep and did not wake up till the next afternoon, the 28th, when on seeing the wind coming in from the shore, thus likely to drive the vessel to sea, he took a lifebuoy and swam ashore. The land was then about a mile distant. On reaching shore he endeavoured to find Captain Dundee, but could find no trace of him. After resting till the following day, Anderson followed a cart track for five days without food, when he arrived at the homestead of Mr. Leslie Brown, completely exhausted from his privations and most trying experience, where he was received with great hospitality and kindness.

The beach in the vicinity has since been well patrolled by the police, but no trace of the vessel or Captain Dundee could be found.

After careful consideration of the evidence I find:-

(a.) The pearling schooner "Hugh Norman," owned by Messrs. Robinson & Norman, of Broome, registered in Fremantle, official number 125030, was lost on a voyage from Fremantle to Broome.

(b.) That when leaving Fremantle the vessel was well equipped and in very respect

seaworthy.

(c.) That the loss of the vessel was occasioned by the misconduct of the Master, to wit, drunkenness and neglect of duty and navigation through excessive indulgence in intoxicating liquor.

(d.) That as the Master (Captain William Dundee) lost his life in a vain attempt

to swim ashore, no further action can be taken in matter.

Juice

Memorandum.

The development of Aviation since the Principal Ordin- was passed has rendered it necessary to introduce legislation with a view to controlling ascents in balloons and acroplanes in a fortress such as Hongkong, for with- out such control the purposes of the Ordinance would be nullified. Opportunity has been taken to bring the Ordin- ance into line in some other details with the law existing in other Eastern British Colonies.

NINETY-FIRST

REPORT OF THE COURT OF DIRECTORS

TO THE

ORDINARY HALF-YEARLY GENERAL MEETING

OF

SHAREHOLDERS

TO BE HELD

AT THE CITY HALL, HONGKONG,

ON

Saturday, the 25th February, 1911, AT NOON.

To the Proprietors of the

HONGKONG & SHANGHAI BANKING CORPORATION.

GENTLEMEN,

     The Directors have now to submit to you a General Statement of the affairs of the Bank, and Balance Sheet for the half-year ending 31st December, 1910.

    The net profits for that perio?, including $2,029,390.83, balance brought forward from last account, after paying all charges, deduct- ing interest paid and due, and making provi- sion for bad and doubtful accounts, amount to $5,249,606.46.

      The Directors recommend the transfer of $250,000 from the Profit and Loss Account to credit of the Silver Reserve Fund, which Fund will then stand at $16,250,000.

After making this Transfer and deducting Remuneration to Directors there remains for appropriation $4,984,606.46, out of which the Directors recommend the payment of a Divid- end of Two Pounds Sterling per Share, viz. : £240,000 and a Bonus of Five Shillings Sterl- ing per Share, viz.: £30,000 amounting in all to £270,000 which at 1/10, the rate of the day, will absorb $2,945,454.55.

     The Balance $2,039,151.91 to be carried to New Profit and Loss Account.

STERLING RESERVE FUND.

     The holding of £1,200,000 2 Consols has been written down to 79. This was effected by the purchase at about par of £15,000 Other Sterling Securities, making our holding under this heading £340 000 written down to £287,400. The cost of this adjustment was met out of the earnings of the half-year.

DIRECTORS.

1 This Ordinance may be cited as "The Harbour of Refuge Amendment Ordinance, 1911," and shall be read and construed as one with the Harbour of Refuge Ordin- ance, 1909, hereinafter called the Principal Ordinance.

2. Sub-section (1) of section 12 of the Principal Ordin- ance is hereby amended as follows :-

Such Judge shall hear any evidence which either the Director of Public Works or the claimant may wish to tender and, if so desired, hear counsel or solicitors on behalf of the Crown and the claimant and such Judge shall deter- mine the amount of compensation, if any, to be paid to any such claimant for any such injurious affecting as is described in sub section (1) of this section and may award costs in his discre- tion either for or against the Crown or for or against any parties claiming compensation, such costs in case of difference to be settled by the Registrar of the Supreme Court.

and

77

Objects and Reasons.

The Harbour of Refuge Ordinance, 1909, provides that claims for compensation by reason of injury to property from its access to the sea being interfered with by the works authorised shall be in the absolute discretion of the Governor.

His Excellency deems it irregular that such quasi judi- cial power should be placed upon him, who has sanctioned each step taken by the Executive, and when the facts are in dispute and evidence is to be tendered in respect of them it should be the function of a Judicial officer and not the Head of the Executive to decide the question.

The Bill amends the Ordinance by delegating to one of the Judges of the Supreme Court the power of deciding the amount of compensation under the terms of the Ordin- ance to be awarded when a claimant is dissatisfied with the compensation proposed to be awarded by the Governor, and invests in such Judge the necessary powers for the purpose of investigating any such claim.'

Objects and Reasons.

When the Criminal Law Amendment Ordinances were framed in 1865 the English Consolidation Ordinances of 1861 were copied almost verbatim. But in connection with offences relating to Railways two sets of sections were omitted, because there were no railways in the Colony. These two sets of provisions dealt with practically the same acts-putting wood, stones, etc., on the railway, and other kindred matters, but the criminal intent in the two statutes was different -in the Malicious Damage Act it was damage to the railway, carriages, etc. in the Offences against the Person Act, it was damage endangering the safety of pas- sengers. The provisions of the former Act were introduced into the Colony by Ordinance No. 10 of 1910; this draft introduces those of the latter Act, and like No. 10 of 1910 it is made applicable to tramways.

I think that now that the New Edition of the Revised Laws is being prepared serions omissions in the law of the Colony should be remedied; in this case the object is to bring the law of the Colony into line with the English law on which it is based. Provision is made for introducing both the new sections and those of No. 10 of 1910 into their proper position in the Criminal Law Or- dinances of 1865.

Part II of No. 10 of 1910, which deals with a different matter, will remain as a substantive enactment.

4 of 1875, in section 9, the words from "or to imprisonment" to the end of the section.

Objects and Reasons.

The object of this Ordinance is to bring the law of the Colony on the subject of punishments into line with the law of England. It accomplishes this first, by abolishing minimum penalties, and thus gives the Julge the power of dealing leniently with cases which deserve to be so treated.

The Ordinance also does away with the confusion and redundancy of language which now exist in the penalty clauses of the Criminal Laws of the Colony. In the English Acts, from which our laws have been copied, there were alternative penalties provided of penal servitude for a maximum and minimum term (which was usually three years), and imprisonment with or without hard labour for not more than two years. The Criminal Law Ordinances, as originally passed, followed this form of alternative pen- alty. By Ordinance No. 3 of 1887, penal servitude was abolished, and imprisonment with hard labour substituted for it. In the Ordinances as they appear in the Revised Edition, "imprisonment with hard labour" has been sub- stituted for "penal servitude"; but no further change was made, with the result, as in the "example" given in s. 7, that the alternatives became "imprisonment with hard labour for not more than 14 and not less than 3 years and

imprisonment with or without hard labour for not more than 2 years". This is meaningless and the Or- dinance eliminates the second alternative. It should be noted that the penalty of "imprisonment with or without hard labour" as an alternative to penal servitude has been eliminated in England, but by a different process.

46

The use of "examples" is based on Indian legislation, "Inter- and due recognition of it will be made in the new pretation Ordinance" now being drafted.

A further effective change is made by making the pen- alty of imprisonment always subject to the discretionary "with or without hard labour" (as it is in fact in the majority of cases) unless any Ordinance expressly provides otherwise. This is made to apply to future enactments, and will make the drafting of Ordinances uniform.

139

The superfluous words "at the discretion of the Court"

on conviction thereof " are eliminated.

and "

The result of these changes so far as mere revision is concerned will be to reduce the bulk of the criminal laws of 1865, by at least one-third. But the more important result will be to let each offence clearly appear, and to condense the penalty clauses as much as possible, leaving them to be governed by the general principles laid down by this Ordinance.

The schedule makes corresponding alterations in the other Criminal Ordinances. The changes effected in Part 11 are in Ordinances where the penalty is in this form-" impri- sonment with hard labour for three years, or imprisonment with or without hard labour for not more than two years In these cases the "three years is not an absolute penalty because there is an alternative, and therefore the alteration is warranted.

Solitary confinement is a prison disciplinary measure and it is unusual for it to be put within the province of the Court to impose it as part of the original sentence; it is therefore proposed to delete the words "with or with- out solitary confinement" wherever they occur. This has been done with the concurrence of the Police and Prison authorities.

The schedule carries the amendments down to the stage at which the Revision Manuscript has at present arrived. In due course, as the Revision proceeds, legislation will be introduced adding other Ordinances to the different Parts of the schedule.

Three other clauses have been introduced, sections 10, 11 and 12, which deal with old, cumbersome, and out of date expressions, substituting therefor modern formulas.

It is not proposed that the Ordinance should come into force until the Council has sanctioned the New Edition as the authoritative version of the Ordinances of the Colony,

HARBOUR NOTIFICATION.

No. 5 of 1911.

NOTICE is hereby given that the Superintendent of Customs and the Consular Body have agreed to the following Regulation for the prevention of the introduction of plague- infected rats-to be added to the Sanitary Regulations for the l'orts of Shanghai and Woosung, and to be given effect to from this date:---

(A) Vessels from plague-infected ports after being admitted to pratique shall not be allowed to lie alongside wharves but must anchor in the stream and discharge and ship cargo by means of cargo boats, using rat guards on the lines by which the cargo boats are made fast, and they shall work cargo by daylight only, under the supervision of inspectors appointed by the Port Sanitary Authorities. Provided, however, that any vessel for which is presented a certificate signed by the Harbour Master or other duly qualified Port Health Authority at the port concerned, certifying that such vessel has been thoroughly fumigated in all parts, may be allowed to load and discharge at a wharf under the following conditions:

1.--that the work of loading and discharging shall go on between the hours of

sunrise and sunset only;

2.-that at sunset loading and discharging shall cease; all cargo ports and hatchways shall be closed, and gang-way planks between the vessel and the wharf withdrawn ;

3.-that all ropes, etc., used for securing the vessel to a wharf or pontoon shall have rat guards, of a pattern approved by the Harbour Master, efficiently fixed thereto;

4.-that a sufficient number of floating fenders shall be placed between the vessel and the wharf, to keep her at least four feet clear of the wharf- fender ropes to be made fast to the wharf and not to the vessel.

163

On every arrival from an infected port a new certificate of fumigation must be presented in order to obtain the privileges of discharging at a wharf. Such fumi- gation in order to qualify vessels for this privilege must have taken place (1) at Shanghai immediately before departure for an infected port, (2) at the infected port during the vessel's last visit there, or (3) at Shanghai, after arrival from an infected port and before discharge of cargo begins.

(B) No packages of cargo showing signs of having given shalter to rats or of having been attacked by them shall be allowed to leave the vessel until after being opened in a place where escaping rats can be destroyed and having their contents dis- infected.

Objects and Reasons,

The object of section 23 was evilently to give summary powers to the Captain Superintendent and Deputy Superin- tendent of Police. The latter part of the section was practically unnecessary as almost every ease that could arise muder it could be dealt with under section 22. Section 22 is amended by transferring the effect of the latter part of section 23 (1) to it and making the sentence uniform. The Captala Superintendent of Police no longer desires to have the power to award imprisonment. These powers have consequently been abolished and he has been given a power, which he desires, to impose small fines on sergeants or constables for breaches of descipline or neglect of duty,

Objects and Reasons.

A revision of the laws in order to be satisfactory must be accompanied by a complete Interpretation and Common Form Ordinance, which should not only lay down certain guiding principles governing the language used in legisla tion and the forms of certain sections which are recurrent, but must also apply them to existing Ordinances.

The main criticism which I have to make on the existing Interpretation Ordinance, No. 8 of 1897, is that it divides legislation into two classes, that passed prior to the date of its coming into force, and that passed afterwards. This follows the English Interpretation Act of 1889; but there was a definite reason for doing this at home. That Act is a piece of legislation simply, and acts as a guide to the Courts in interpreting existing legislation, and a guide to the Parliamentary draftsman in his future work. The greatest care was required in dealing with the enormous bulk of the English statutes; but the reasons which guided the draftsman of our Ordinance and induced him to split it up into "Existing Interpretations ", "Existing Rules of Construction", "New Iuterpretations", and "New Rules of Construction" is not always very apparent, and has in one case caused serious difficulty, leading to No. 20 of 1908 being passed. It is most bewildering, and diminishes the practi- cal utility of the Ordinance. But directly Revision is taken in hand these sub-divisions become worse than useless, and unmanageable. It must be borne in mind that the English statutes have never been systematically "revised". A good deal has been done by means of "Statute Law Revi-

186

sion Acts", but it is intermittent, and fragmentary, and it is admitted that it is lamentably incomplete. I have it on the best authority that there are certain obstructionists in this matter who do all in their power to prevent even the Law Revision Commission from further using their pruning knife on the Statute Book. Therefore the sixteen or twenty volumes known as the "Statutes Revised ", although pub- lished By authority", are no more than an edition of the statutes which give the results of (1) amending legislation generally, and (ii) of the Statuto Law Revision Acts so far as they go, which is not every far.

But in dealing with the laws of a Colony, first, the bulk of legislation which has to be pruned is inconsiderable com- pared with the English Statute Book, and therefore the revision can be complete. Secondly, and consequently, the necessity for the sub-division of the Interpretation Ordin- ance, which follows that of the English Act, into the heads above indicated, does not exist, and there is no reason why the principles of interpretation which it lays down should not be applied by a Law Revision Ordinance to existing legislation, and thus uniformity throughout the whole of the laws can be obtained. A simple example will make this clear.

By section 34 of the existing Interpretation Ordinance it is provided that where an Ordinance "coufers a power, then, unless the contrary intention appears, the power may be exercised from time to time as occasion requires". The object of this is to render unnecessary the words "from time to time" in future legislation, in connexion, for example, with the power to make rules under any Ordinance. Now, to show how useless the Ordinance has been, owing to the fact probably that it is unsystematic, this simple principle is often forgotten. The provision applies to Ordinances passed after 1897, yet I open Volume II at random, and I find in the Rating Ordinance of 1901, the words "from time to time" used in section 39 and section 40, where they are clearly unnecessary.

The reason for limiting the rule to future legislation is hard to discover. It is a rule of common sense, and one probably which the Courts would have devised for them- selves.

The same remark applies to practically all the simple rules of construction. Therefore in this proposed Ordin- ance I have made them general, and they will be acted on by means of general provisions embodied in a Law Revi- sion Ordinance which authorises the deletion of useless expressions from existing legislation, and which will in due course be presented to Council.

The new Ordinance is therefore the old one recast, the sections grouped in a way more convenient for reference, and new ones added, which are for the most part based on those I introduced in an Ordinance I prepared in Mauritius in connexion with a similar revision of the laws of that Colony. Its twofold objects will be fulfilled-the Judges and Magistrates will apply it with greater case in interpret- ing the laws: the Law Officer's staff will act upon it to the lightening of their work, and thereby greatly facilitate the comprehension of the Council in legislating, and the public in understanding the legislation.

Two new principles which have been introduced which may be specially referred to :--

References to Imperial Acts in Colonial Ordinances (s. 15).-This is a most important provision which meets a difficulty often arising; e.g., references in existing legisla tion, say, to the old Merchant Shipping Acts, are useless, but there is no power without such a section to refer to the corresponding sections of the Acts of 1894.

I had to introduce a special Ordinance in Mauritius to deal with this case.

The effect of disallowance (s. 17).--Unless there is such a clause as this the consequences of disallowance, which are often very far-reaching, are little understood. This section was approved by the Secretary of State in the Mauritius Ordinance.

A BILL

EXTITLED

An Ordinance to further amend the Pawnbrokers

Ordinances, 1860 and 1902.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as "The Pawnbrokers Amendment Ordinance, 1911"; and it shall be read and construed as one with the Lawnbrokers Ordinance, 1860, hereinafter called "the Principal Ordinance" as amended by the Pawnbrokers Amendment Ordinance, 1902, herein- after called "the Amending Ordinance".

2. In section 12 of the Principal Ordinance, instead of the words,

"if made within three months from the day of

making the loan "

in the second and third lines thereof, there shall be read the words,

"if made within eight months, or in the case of goods pawned in any part of the New Territories other than New Kowloon if made within twelve months, from the day of making the loan".

3. Section 16 of the Principal Ordinance and section 6 of the Amending Ordinance are hereby repealed and replaced of Ordinance by the following:

1 of 1860

and section

6 of Or-

dinance No. 21 of 1902 and substitution

therefor.

Repeal of portion of section 4 of Ordinance No. 21 of 1902 and substitution therefor.

16. Subject to the provisions hereinbefore con- tained, goods pawned as aforesaid shall, from and after the expiration of the periods mentioned in section 12 if the same are redeemed, be- come the property of the lender or his repre- sentatives absolutely: Provided nevertheless that if at the expiration of such periods respect- ively the borrower is desirous of continuing the loan for a further period not exceeding the eight months, or the twelve months, referred to in section 12, as the ease may be, he shall be at liberty to do so on paying the interest then dne. In such case a new ticket shall be issued and a new entry made in the General Book,"

Objects ond Reasons.

Ordinance No. 21 of 1902 in this Bill called the Amend- ing Ordinance was passed before the Revised Edition was published. It repealed section 16 of Ordinance 3 of 1850, which was then the Principal Ordinance, and substituted a proviso therefor. The proviso does not render intelligible the corresponding sections (sections 12 and 16) of No. 1 of 1860, the Principal Ordinance, in the Revised Edition. Clauses 2 and 3 of the Bill are accordingly introduced to make the whole intelligible. Clause 4 of the Bill converts the interest tables from the basis of taels-a mere weight of silver to dollars-the currency of the Colony.

HARBOUR NOTIFICATION.

No. 6 of 1911.

REFERRING to Harbour Notifications Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of 1911, concerning precau- tions against the introduction of Plague, Notice is hereby given that the following further measures and modifications have been sanctioned by the Superintendent of Customs and the Treaty Power Consuls, and are now published for general information :-

1. Dairen.-Official reports having been received from Dairen, showing that that port is at present free from Plague, and that the strictest measures are taken against its introduction there, the declaration of infection as regards that port is with- drawn; considering however, its close proximity to the Plague-infected Area, of which it is an outlet, the precautions taken in the case of vessels from Dairen cannot be completely relaxed, but the following modified procedure is adopted :-

Vessels from Dairen bringing no passengers, or for whose passengers certi- ficates from the Dairen Authorities are presented, showing that they have been detained for at least five days under supervision of the Sanitary Officers of that Port and are free from disease on embarkatiou, and amongst whose passengers no disease is found on arrival at the quarantine station at Woosung, shall be admitted to pratique after inspection by the Port Health Officer, without further detention in quarantine. Such vessels shall still however, be subject to the regulations imposed on vessels from Plague-infected Ports with regard to dis- charge and shipment of cargo, fumigation, and other precautions against the landing of rats.

2. Tientsin and Chinwangtao.

Vessels coming from Tientsin (including Tong Ku) and Chinwangtao, will be subject to the same proc dure laid down for vessels from Dairen, with the pro- vision that certificates concerning the detention under supervision of passengers must be endorsed as satisfactory by the Commissioner of Customs at those places and that the Master of each vessel shall give a certificate, concerning his Officers and Crew, that none of them has, while at these ports, gone into a Plague- infected Section. Vessels not complying with these regulations will be subjected to detention in quarantine as if from a Plague-infected Port.

Special regulations

as to extra high pressure.

prescribe.

Extra High Pressure.

38.-(1.) This regulation shall have effect in the case of a supply at extra high pressure and shall be in addition to and not in substitution for the obligations imposed by the foregoing regulations.

(2.) An extra high pressure main shall not be brought into use unless, after it has been placed in position and before it is used for the purposes of supply, the insula- tion of every part thereof has withstood the continuous application, during half-an-hour, of pressure exceeding the maximum pressure to which it is intended to be sub- jected in use, that is to say, in the case of every electric line to be used for a pressure not exceeding 10,000

X

A

223

volts twice the said maximum pressure, and in the case of a line to be used for a pressure exceeding 10,000 volts, a pressure exceeding the said maximum pressure by 10,000 volts and the company shall record the results of the tests of each main or section of a main.

(3.) Every extra high pressure main shall be protected by a suitable fuse or automatic circuit-breaker, but in the case of a concentric main that fuse or circuit-breaker shall not be inserted in any external conductor thereof which is connected with earth.

(4.) In every case where an extra high pressure supply is transformed or converted to a reduced pressure, some suitable automatic and quick-acting means shall be provided to protect the reduced pressure circuits from any accidental contact with or leakage from the extra high pressure system, either within or without the trans- forming or converting apparatus.

(5.) All metal conduits, pipes, or casings containing any extra high pressure electric line shall be efficiently connected with earth, and shall be so jointed and con- nected across all street boxes and other openings so as to make good electrical connection throughout their whole length.

(6.) Every portion of any extra high pressure electric line placed above the surface of the ground, otherwise than in a sub-station, or in any subway not in the sole occupation of the company, shall be completely enclosed either in a tube of highly insulated material embedded in brickwork, masonry, or cement concrete, or in strong metal casing efficiently connected with earth.

(7.) Where extra high pressure mains for three-phase supply consist of insulated conductors laid together, pro- vision shall be made to ensure that neither the ground nor any neighbouring or electric line or conductor can become charged by leakage from any such main.

Where this provision is made by a copper strip under a lead sheath, that strip shall be not less than sixteen- thousandths of an inch in thickness, and where it is made by steel wires outside a lead sheath, each of those wires shall be not less than one-tenth of an inch in dia- meter.

Where the mains are enclosed in a lead sheath, that sheath shall be not less than one-tenth of an inch in thickness, and shall be permanently and efficiently con- nected with earth.

(8.) Extra high pressure mains for single phase supply and all cables connected therewith shall consist either of two concentric conductors or of separate conductors. Where concentric conductors are used the insulation shall be maintained efficiently throughout except that the outer conductor shall be connected with earth at one point, and where separate conductors are used, provision shall be made as in the case of mains for three-phase supply to ensure that neither the ground nor any neigh- bouring electric line or conductor can become charged by leakage.

(9.) An extra high pressure electric line shall not be brought into use for the supply of energy before it has been completely laid, properly jointed, examined, and tested, or until it is in the sole charge of the company, and every such line shall during its use be in the sole charge of the company.

(10.) Extra high pressure mains shall not pass through the same street box with other mains, unless they are enclosed in strong metal casing; and street boxes con- taining extra high pressure mains shall not contain pipes for water, gas, or other service, or electric mains belonging to another undertaking, provided that any such street box may contain telephone wires belonging to the company.

(11.) Sub-stations supplied at extra high pressure shall be established in suitable places and shall be in the sole occupation of the company.

Penalties for default.

224

(12.) Sub-stations constructed below the surface of any street after the date of these regulations to which an extra high pressure is to be given shall not contain switches or other apparatus than transformers.

(13.) The transforming apparatus at any sub-station supplied at extra high pressure shall be so arranged that there shall be no danger of any mains connected therewith being charged to any pressure beyond the limits of pressure for which those mains are intended.

(14.) In delivering the energy to a sub-station at extra high pressure the company shall exercise all due precautions so as to avoid risk of causing fire on the premises.

(15.) All extra high pressure electric lines and appar- atus placed in a sub-station shall be highly insulated and thoroughly protected against injury to the insulation or access of moisture, and any metal forming part of the electric circuit shall not unless efficiently connected with earth be exposed so that it can be inadvertently touched. All such lines shall be so fixed and protected as to pre- vent the possibility of electrical discharge to any adjacent metallic substance.

(16.) The Director of Public Works shall be entitled to enter at all times any of the generating or sub-stations of the company supplying or supplied at an extra high pressure, and to make any such examination and tests of the mains, machines, transformers, or other apparatus in use in those stations, as may appear to him necessary, and the company shall afford all due facilities for any such examination and tests.

(17.) Where any extra high pressure circuit is con- nected with earth, the connection shall be made at one point only, namely, at the generating station, sub-station or transformer, and the insulation of the circuit shall except at that point be efficiently maintained throughout.

(18.) The neutral point of the star winding of each distinct three-phase circuit, used for extra high pressure, may be connected with earth, or may be insulated. If connected with earth through a resistance, that resistance shall be sufficiently low to ensure that the fuse or auto- matic circuit-breaker in the mains shall act.

If the neutral point is not connected with earth, a separate electrostatic voltmeter placed in a conspicuous position in the generating station shall be connected between each distinct circuit and earth; and if the indi- cations of the voltmeters show that the insulation of any of the circuits is faulty, immediate steps shall be taken to restore the insulation.

Penalties.

39. If the company make default in complying with any of the preceding regulations, they shall on summary conviction before a Police Magistrate be liable to a pen- alty not exceeding one hundred dollars for every such default, and in the case of a continuing offence to a further penalty not exceeding one hundred dollars for each day during which the offence continues.

The recovery of a penalty under these regulations shall not affect the liability of the company to make compensation in respect of any damage or injury which may be caused by reason of the default.

Objects and Reasons.

No legislation on the subject of the supply of electricity has hitherto been enacted and, as there are companies both in the City of Victoria and in Kowloon which carry on operation on a somewhat extensive scale and transmit currents of considerable strength or pressure, it has been considered advisable in the interests of the public to introduce a Bill for their regulation.

The Bill and accompanying Regulations have been based largely on the Acts and Board of Trade Regula- tions in force in England. Some modifications have however been made as it is considered that some of the home regulations are too stringent for application in their entirety to places which are not so fully developed as home cities.

2. Signals are to be given by the steam-whistle or siren long lines signify long blasts, and short lines short blasts.

256

  3.-Steamers following the ice-breaker have to repeat the sound signals one after the other separately in the order in which they are following the ice-breaker.

4.- All steamers following the ice-breaker have to be always ready to go full speed

astern.

  5.--If the ice-breaker is followed by several steamers, and the distance between the hindmost steamers and the ice-breaker is so great that the sound signals of those steamers cannot be heard by the ice-breaker, then those aforesaid steamers, instead of giving the sound signal No. 6, have to hoist in daytime a red ball, and at night a red light, and to keep the signal up until the ice-breaker has come to their assistance.

  6.--Steamers stopping in the channel made by the ice-breaker have, during fog or snow, to give the signal No. 3, as well as ring the bell.

  7.-Each steamer following the ice-breaker has to be ready to take a tow-rope; and when in tow the steamer has to take all precautions to let go the tow-rope at the first com-

mand of the ice-breaker,

  8.--Steamers being towed are not to go ahead with their engines without a special order; but they must be always ready to go astern in case the ice-breaker gets stuck in heavy ice.

  9.-If a steamer following the ice breaker in the ice gets some damage or a leak, she has to hoist the International Code" signal N.C. This signal and the sound signals have to be repeated by all steamers situated between the ice-breaker and the damaged steamer. As soon as the ice-breaker notices the signal and hoists the answering pennant, the steamers, excepting the damaged one, have to take down their signals. This steamer has at the same time to prepare everything as far as possible to get into readiness to take the hose of the ice- breaker on board and into that compartment or hold which has to be pumped out first.

  10.-In case the captain of the steamer to which the assistance is brought does not follow the instructions given to him, the commander of the ice-breaker has the right to refuse any assistance until his orders are followed out.

11. The Ministry (Board) of Commerce is not responsible for any damage the steamers receive during the time they are assisted by the ice-breaker.

Memorandum.

The present partnership law, codified in Ordinance No. 1 of 1897, is habitually evaded by respectable and responsible members of the Chinese mercantile community because it runs counter to the essential characteristics of Chinese partnerships. In deciding a case under that Ordinance the Chief Justice said (3 H.K.L.R. 170):--" This is an Ordin- ance passed in 1897 by the local Legislature, and I can only hold, there being no reference from end to end to Chinese customs, that it was the deliberate intention to ignore the Chinese customs of partnership. Whether this was wise or unwise is not for me to say. But I must point out to the Government the extreme danger of reproducing English legislation bodily into the Colonial Statute Book without at least considering the question how it may effect the customs of the large body of Chinese who are legislated for."

The chief characteristics of the present partnership law are the unlimited liability of each partner for the debts of the firm, the dissolution of the partnership upon the death or bankruptcy of any partner, and the limit to the number of partners.

The chief characteristics of a Chinese Partnership are :--

(1.) Each partner is liable to pay out of his priv

property only such proportion of a partnership debt as his share bears to the total of the shares of all the partners. But the partnership as a whole may be sued for the whole debt. (2.) Partnerships do not come to an end on the death of a partner, but the deceased partner's sons are admitted as partners and their father's share is sometimes divided between them and some- times remains intact under the father's tong name, the interest being divided among the

onss.

(3.) Firms may take shares in other firms and there is no limit to the number of persons who may become partners.

+

1

273

(4.) Shares are frequently held in tong names, names invented by the individual partner for the pur- pose of holding property and, not infrequently, also for the purpose of concealing his identity from the general public.

(5.) Before a dividend is paid out of profits interest on capital, usually at the rate of 10% per annum, is paid to the partners who have subscribed it. (6.) Many firms have, in addition to the partners subscribing capital, a hung kú or red share- holder, a person, usually the promoter or mana- ger, who is given a share though he subscribes no capital. He gets no interest on capital but he shares with the partners the sm plus profit. after interest on capital has been paid. He is not, moreover, liable for the debts of the firm. The objection to the recognition of the first of these characteristics is that unless the unpaid creditor of an insol- vent firm can find and sue every single partner of the debtor firm he cannot hope to be paid in full. But this is not a fatal objection as his position is better than that of the ereditor of an insolvent limite i company who cannot reach the private property of individual shareholders at all.

As to the second characteristic. There seems no reason why the death of a partner should destroy the partnership. In fact in the case of limited partnerships registered under the Imperial Act 7 Ed. VII chap. 21 the death of a limited- partner does not dissolve the partnership. But the death of a partner would result of course, in a change in the pro- portionate interests of the remaining partners in the firm, and the value of the share of the dead partner would have to be paid to his personal representatives. It would be undesirable, if only for fiscal reasons, to recognise the right of sons to take their deceased father's share without taking out Letters of Administration.

As to the third characteristic. There is prin â fuere no reason why a firm should not hold a share in another firm. This can be done subject to one limitation under the present partnership law (see Warner v. Smith 32 L. J. Ch. 573). The limitation is that imposed by section 4 of the Com- panies Ordinance No. 1 of 1865 which provides that no partnership consisting of more than twenty persons may be formed for the purpose of carrying on any business that has for its object the acquisition of gain unless it is registered as a company. A firm is not, like a body corporate, a single entity. It is merely a convenient name for describ- ing a number of individuals who are associated together.. So if firms are allowedin discriminately to take shares in other firms the number of partners in the latter firms would often exceed twenty. The difficulty can be got over by providing that where a firm is registered as a partner it is to be regarded for the purposes of the Ordinance as one person, and by providing that only one of its members should be allowed to interfere in the management of the partnership in which the firm has taken a share.

With regard to the fourth characteristic. It is undesir- able that individuals should hide their identity under tong names. It is submitted that a Chinese partner should be registered either in the first name he receives after birth or in the name he receives when he reaches manhood's estate. A tong name may be registered in addition.

The last two characteristics are typically Chinese and to ignore them in a Bill intended, as far as possible, to give effect to Chinese customs would be measurably to defeat the object of the Bill.

The accompanying Bill embodies the views expre-sed in this memorandam. Registration is voluntary but partners who do not register are subjet to the unlimited liability of the present partnership law. The principles of the new Bill are essentially different from the principles of the Limited Partnership Act 1507 which limits the liability of sleeping partners and which, some day, it may be necessary to introduce into the Colony; but as far as it has been practicable to do so the Bill is modelied on that Act.

A BILL

ENTITLED

An Ordinance to further amend the Summary

Offences Ordinance, 1845.

BE 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 Summary and construc- Offences Amendment Ordinance, 1911," and it shall be read and construed as one with the Summary Offences Ordinance 1845, hereinafter called "the Principal Or- dinance", and the Ordinances amending the same.

Repeals sec- tion 11 of

Ordinance

No. 1 of 1845

and substi-

tutes another section therefor.

Penalties for violation of Sections 9 and 10.

2. Section 11 of the Principal Ordinance is hereby repealed and there shall be substituted the following:-

1.-(1.) Every person who violates, disobeys, or fails to comply with any of the provisions of section 9 shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding fifty dollars, besides the expenses of the removal of the building or thing oc- cupied or erected.

(2) Every person who violates, disobeys, or fails to comply with any of the provisions of section 10 shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding five dollars."

Objects and Reasons.

Section 9 of the Principal Ordinance in the Revised Edition was taken from section 20 of Ordinance No. 8 of 1858 and by section 28 of that Ordinance offenders against section 20 were liable to a penalty of fifty dollars besides the expenses of re noval. In the Revised Edition the penalty was, evidently by mistake, changed to five dollars only. This Bill corrects the mistake.

HONGKONG, 28th April, 1911.

C. W. BECKWITH, Commander, R.N.,

Harbour Master, &c.

CAUTION.

   As Submarines will be constantly exercised in the vicinity of this Port and in view of the difficulty that passing vessels have in observing these Boats, a large Square Red Flag will be displayed from the vessel in company with the Submarines (usually a Destroyer or Gunboat) and this Flag will be flown whenever Submarines are practising in the Waters of the Colony or those adjacent to it.

   The vessel flying the Red Flag should be given a berth of at least one mile. When, however, this from any reason cannot be given, the vessel flying the Red Flag must be ap- proached at a slow speed and a good look out kept for Submarines, until the approaching ship can be warned by word of mouth of the danger zone.

NOTICES TO MARINERS.

CAUTION.

  All junks and other Chinese craft are warned against crossing or passing close to any Submarine Boat when under weigh as these Submarines have a large part of their hull sub- merged so to avoid collision which would be fatal to any junk colliding. A safe distance from them must be kept.

MASTERS of vessels and others are hereby informed that a report has been received from the Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Australia that the master of the S.S.

HARBOUR NOTIFICATION.

No. 3 of 1911.

  NOTICE is hereby given that the following further measures and modifications, concern- ing precautions against the introduction of plague, have been sanctioned and are now pub- lished for general information :-

  1. Dairen.--Official reports having been received from Dairen, showing that that port is at present free from Plague, and that the strictest measures are taken against its introduc- tion there, the declaration of infection with regard to that port is withdrawn; considering however, its close proximity to the Plague-infected Area, of which it is an outlet, the pre- cautions taken in the case of vessels from Dairen cannot be completely relaxed, but the following modified procedure is adopted :-

  Vessels from Dairen bringing no passengers, or for whose passengers certificates from the Dairen Authorities are presented, showing that they have been detained for at least five days under supervision of the Sanitary Officers of that l'ort and are free from disease on embarkation, and amongst whose passengers no disease is found on arrival at the quarantine anchorage at Amoy, shall be admitted to pratique after inspection by the Port Health Officer, without further detention in quarantine. Such vessels shall still, however, be subject to the regulations imposed on vessels from Plague-infected Ports with regard to discharge and shipment of cargo, fumigation, and other precautions against the landing of rats.

  Tientsin and Chinirangtao.--Vessels coming from Tientsin (including Tong Ku) and Chinwangtao will be subject to the same procedure laid down for vessels from Dairen, with the provision that certificates concerning the detention under supervision of passengers must be endorsed as satisfactory by the Commissioner of Customs at those places and that the Master of each vessel shall give a certificate, concerning his Officers and Crew, that none of them has, while at these ports, gone into a Plague-infected Section. Vessels not complying with these regulations will be subjected to detention in quarantine as if from a Plague-infected Port.

tion :

  1. Port Arthur.-Vessels from Port Arthur are put on the same status as vessels from Dairen with regard to detention in quarantine and other precautions against the introduction of Plague (Harbour Notification No. 3).

2. Newchwang and Antung.---Vessels from Newchwang and Antung are given the same status as vessels from Tientsin and Chinwangtao (Harbour Notification No. 3).

  3. Chefoo.-Vessels from Chefoo which bring no passengers, or which bring only first class passengers having certificates issued by the Port Health Officer and endorsed by the Commissioner of Customs at that Port, that they have not been exposed to possible plague infection for five days before embarkation at Chefoo, and whose Officers and Crew have not been on shore at that Port, as certified by the written declaration of their Commanders, may be admitted to pratique without detention in quarantine, after inspection by the Port Health Officer at the Quarantiue Anchorage of Amoy. Such vessels shall still be subject to the regulations imposed on vessels from plague-infected Ports with regard to the precautions against the landing of rats. (Harbour Notification No. 2.)

LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.

 No. S. 110.-The following Bills were read a first time at a Meeting of the Council held on the 11th May, 1911 :--

A BILL

ENTITLED

An Ordinance to authorise the publication of a Newly Revised Edition of the Revised Edition of the Statute Laws of the Colony prepared in virtue of Ordinance No. 12 of 1900.

WHEREAS Owing to the great number of Amending and Consolidating Ordinances which have been passed since the publication of the Revised Edition of the Laws of the Colony by Sir John Carrington, Kt., late Chief Justice of Hongkong, that Edition is in need of revision, and it is expedient to authorise the publication of a Newly Revised Edition of the Laws of the Colony :

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

66

1. This Ordinance may be cited as The Statute Laws (New Revised Edition) Ordinance, 1911 ".

2. In this Ordinance----

Revised Edition" means the Revised Edition of the Laws of Hongkong prepared by His Honour Sir John Carrington, Knight, C.M.G., late Chief Justice of the Colony, and authorised to be used by proclamation of the Governor, dated 20th July, 1904, made in virtue of Ordin- auce No. 12 of 1900.

"New Revised Edition means the newly Revised Edition of the Laws of Hongkong authorised by this Or-

dinance.

3(1.) His Honour Sir Francis Taylor Piggott, Knight, Chief Justice of Hongkong, hereinafter called the Editor, is hereby authorised to prepare a new and revised edition of the Ordinances of the Colony, including those contained in the Revised Edition, to make the necessary arrangements for publishing the same, and for the supply of copies to the Government, and the reprinting of the Edition in case of need, as the Governor shall approve.

(2.) In case the said Sir Francis Taylor Piggott is unable from any cause to complete the New Revised Edi- tion the Governor may appoint some other fit and proper person or persons to complete the work, subject to such equitable arrangements as may be agreed upon between the Governor and the said Sir Francis Taylor Piggott, or his representatives, or failing such agreement, as the At- torney General shall determine.

4. In the preparation of the New Revised Edition the Elitor shall have the following powers :-

(¿.) to omit-

(a.) all Ordinances or parts of Ordinances which have been repealed;

(b.) all introductory words of enactment : (c.) prefatory words to short titles,

(d.) headings of sub-divisions of Ordinances which in the opinion of the Editor are not necessary to the proper interpretation of the Ordinances, so long as they are not headings or titles of Parts, where an Ordinance is divided into Parts, in which case such omis- sion shall not be made, nor shall any alteration in such headings or titles be made, unless they are included in the Ordinances mentioned in section 6 (4);

(.) to insert in their proper place in the Ordinances amended all provisions of amending Ordinances as indicated in such Ordinances, as if the said amended Ordinances had been ordered to be printed as amended in such amending Or- dinances; and further, where all the amend- ments made by such amending Ordinances are so inserted as aforesaid so that the object of such Ordinances has been effected, to treat the remainder of such Ordinances as exhausted, and to omit the same.

(iii) to correct typographical errors, and to revise the punctuation where in the opinion of the Editor such revision is necessary ;

(ie.) to do all such things relating to form and method which may be necessary for the per- fecting of the New Revised Edition.

5. The numbering of the Ordinances contained in the Revised Edition, and of the sections of such Ordinances, shall be preserved, unless by special authority of the Governor a new numbering of the sections of any Ordin- ance is considered advisable, when such new numbering shall be included in one of the Ordinances referred to in section 6 (4).

The numbering of the Ordinances passed since 1901, and of the sections of such Ordinances, shall in nowise be altered.

6. (1.) All omissions and amendments in the language of the Ordinances comprised in the New Revised Edition, including those referred to in the preceding sections, which do not affect the matter and substance of the pro- visions thereof shall be collected by the Editor and sub- mitted to the Legislative Council in the form of one or more "Law Revision" and "Law Amendinent " Or- dinances respectively; provided that where such omissions or amendments are sufficiently material, although they do not affect the spirit and meaning of the provisions amended, the authority of the Governor shall be first obtained.

(2.) Where any omission or amendment is in the opi- nion of the Editor sufficiently important and does not come within the preceding sub-section, an Ordinance shall be submitted to the Legislative Council, and if such Ordin- ance is passed the authority to make such omissions and amendments shall be the coming into force of such Or- dinance.

(3.) The following omissions shall be held to be includ- ed in sub-section (1)

:

(a.) parts of Ordinances which have expired or have

become spent or have lost their effect;

(b) repealing sections, and tables and lists of repealed enactments, in schedules or other-

wise;

(c.) preambles, or parts of preambles, to Ordinan- ces which in the opinion of the Editor no longer serve any useful purpose ;

(d.) introductory words of enactment in any part of an Ordinance, which in the opinion of the Editor are no longer required;

(e.) sections prescribing the date when, or the method by which, any Ordinance, or any part of any Ordinance, is to come into force, where the omission in the opinion of the Editor can be conveniently made; provided that in all cases a note shall be inserted at the commence- ment of all Ordinances of the date of their commencement, and where any special method of bringing an Ordinance into operation has been prescribed, of the method and date by and at which the Ordinance has been brought into operation.

(4.) Where entire Ordinances have expired, or have be- come spent, or have lost their effect, or where it is con- sidered, subject always to the authority of the Governor being obtained, advisable to repeal entire Ordinances, or a considerable part of any Ordinance, such repeals shall

308

be embodied in a special Ordinance "for promoting the General Revision of the Law", to be submitted to the Legislative Council, in which the reason for each such repeal shall be succinctly stated in a special preamble.

(5.) The Editor shall be at liberty to recast the marginal notes of the sections of all Ordinances included in the New Revised Edition where in his opinion it is necessary for greater clearness; and he shall introduce into the margin such references to the 46

Law Revision", the "Law Amendment" and the "General Revision" Ordinances above referred to as he may consider advisable.

7-(1.) The New Revised Edition shall be comprised in two Volumes, and shall include all the Ordinances in force down to the end of the year 1911, together with all the Ordinances passed in the year 1911 as, having* regard to the exigencies of printing, can conveniently be included. All the Ordinances of the year 1911, which cannot be so conveniently included shall be collected and printed with the necessary references, as an Appendix, to be included in the third Volume hereafter referred to, which however shall for all purposes be considered to form part of the New Revised Edition.

(2.) The Editor shall prepare and issue as part of his undertaking:-

(.) a chronological table of all the Ordinances of the Colony, including those which have been repealed, or which were not included in the Revised Edition; provided that he may for such purpose adopt the Chronological Table prepared for the Revised Edition by Sir John Carrington;

(b.) a full and complete index to the subject matter of all Ordinances contained in the New Revised Edition:

(c.) a collection of Orders issued by the Sovereign in His Privy Council relating to or affecting the Colony, in so far as it may be practicable; (d.) such Tables of references to the aforesaid or other matters as he may consider necessary for perfecting the New Revised Edition of the Laws of Hongkong;

all which things, together with the Appendix of the Or- dinances passed in 1911 above referred to, shall be included in a third Volume, and the three Volumes to- gether shall form one series entitled "The Laws of Hongkong".

8(1.) Each Volume of the series before it is issued shall, by general order of the Governor in that behalf, be impressed on the title page thereof with the seal of the Colony.

(2.) On some convenient day after the issue and pub- lication of the Second Volume, and after the passing of the Ordinances referred to in section 6 (4), the New Revised Edition shall be laid before the Legislative Coun- cil for approval, and such approval, if given, shall be notified, by proclamation of the Governor.

9.-(1.) Ordinance No. 16 of 1886 (the Statute Law Revision Ordinance 1887) is repealed.

(2.) A copy of all Ordinances passed after the coming into force of this Ordinance, certified under the hand of the Governor and the seal of the Colony shall, as soon as conveniently may be after they have been passed by the Legislative Council, be transmitted by the Clerk of the Councils to the Registrar of the Supreme Court, for re- cord; and such copies shall be deemed to be the originals thereof, and may be proved in any Court or judicial pro- ceeding by certified copies thereof, or, by order of a Judge, by the production thereof by the Registrar. Subject only to the foregoing provision any Ordinance passed after the the commencement of this Ordinance shall be sufficiently proved by the production of a copy of the Gazette con- taining the print of such Ordinance as passed by the Legislative Council, or a copy thereof purporting to be printed by the Government Printer at or about the time of the passing thereof.

1

11

(3.) The provisions of the preceding sub-section shall apply to all proclamations issued and to all rules, orders, regulations, or by-laws heretofore or hereafter made, in virtue of any Ordinance, now in force or hereafter to be passed.

(4.) The Registrar shall carefully preserve and file all such Ordinances, proclamations, rules, orders, regulations, or by-laws so transmitted to him.

(5.) Any person shall be entitled to inspect such Or- dinances and other documents aforesaid during the office hours of the Registry on payment of twenty-five cents for each inspection not exceeding three hours and to take copies or extracts therefrom for certification by the Re- gistrar, on payment of twenty-five cents per folio of Seventy-five words for each copy or extract

10.--(1.) Ordinance No. 12 of 1900 (The Statute Law (Revised Edition) Ordinance, 1900) is repealed.

(2.) The Revised Edition, so far as Ordinances con- tained in it are concerned, is hereby declared to have been the true and only version of those Ordinances, all va- riances between such Ordinances as printed therein and the sealed copies thereof deposited in the Registry under Or dinance No. 1 of 1887, and anything in Ordinance No. 1 of 1887, to the contrary notwithstanding; and in so far as there are such variances the Ordinances as contained in such sealed copies are to be taken to be and to have been repealed by Ordinance No. 12 of 1900.

ne time

(3.) This section shall come into force at the same as the New Revised Edition.

11. From and after the date of the proclamation re- ferred to in section 6 (4), the Revised Edition shall cease to be the sole and only proper statute book of the Colony up to the date of the latest of the Ordinances contained therein, and subject only to the provisions of section 9, it shall be lawful to use the New Revised Edition in all Courts of Jus- tice and for all purposes whatsoever as being the authorised statute book of the Colony in regard to all Ordinances passed by the Legislative Council up to the end of the year 1911; Provided that nothing in this section shall affect the operation of any Ordinance which may be passed, before the issue of such proclamation, for the repeal, alteration or amendment of any carlier Ordinance after such Ordinance has been printed in the New Revised Edition.

12. Where in any enactment or in any document of whatever kind, reference is made to an Ordinance which is affected by or under the operation of this Ordinance, such reference shall, where necessary and practicable, be deemed to extend and apply to the corresponding enact- ment as contained the New Revised Edition.

dence which satisfies the Court that the interest charged in respect of the sum actually lent is excessive, or that the amounts charged for expenses, inquiries, fines, bonus, premium, renewals, or any other charges, are excessive, and that, in either case, the transaction is harsh and unconscionable, or is otherwise such that a Court of Equity would give relief, the Court may re- open the transaction, and take an account between the money-lender and the person sued, and may, notwith- standing any statement or settlement of account or any agreement purporting to close previous dealings and create a new obligation, re-open any account already taken between them, and relieve the person sued from payment of any sum in excess of the sum adjudged by the Court to be fairly due in respect of such principal, interest, and charges as the Court, having regard to the risk and all the circumstances, may adjudge to be reasonable; and if any such excess has been paid, or allowed in account, by the debtor, may order the cre- ditor to repay it; and may set aside either wholly or in part, or revise, or alter, any security given or agree- ment made in respect of money lent by the money-lender, and if the money-lender has parted with the security may order him to indemnify the borrower or other person sued.

(2.) Any Court in which proceedings might be taken for the recovery of money lent by a money-lender shall have and may at the instance of the borrower or surety or other person liable, exercise the like powers as may be exercised under this section, where proceedings are taken for the recovery of money lent, and the Court shall have power, notwithstanding any provision or agreement to the contrary, to entertain any application under this Ordinance by the borrower or surety or other person liable, notwithstanding that the time for repayment of the loan, or any instalment thereof, may not have arrived.

(3.) On any application relating to the admission or amount of a proof by a money-lender in any bank- ruptcy proceedings, the Court may exercise the like powers as may be exercised under this section when proceedings are taken for the recovery of money.

(4.) The foregoing provisions of this section shall apply to any transaction which, whatever its form may be, is substantially one of money-lending by a money- lender.

(5.) Nothing in the foregoing provisions of this section shall affect the rights of any bond fide assignee or holder for value without notice.

(6.) Nothing in this section shall be construed as derogating from the existing powers or jurisdiction of any Court.

LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.

No. S. 117. The following Bill was read a first time at a Meeting of the Council held on the 18th May, 1911 :-

A BILL

ENTITLED

Short title.

Amends Ordinance No of 1872.

An Ordinance to amend the Foreign Offenders

Detention Ordinance, 1872.

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

66

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Foreign Offend- ers Detention Amendment Ordinance, 1911".

2. The Foreign Offenders Detention Ordinance, 1872, is hereby amended as follows :---

(a.) in the preamble by the deletion of the words

to their respective countries

:

(5.) in section 3 thereof by the deletion of th

words to his own country ";

(c.) in section 5 thereof by the deletion of the word "and at the end of sub-section (3) and by the repeal of sub-section (4) :

(d.) by the deletion of section 6 and by the sub- stitution of the following: "The Magistrate shall commit the offender to gaol, there to await the order of the Governor."

Objects and Reasons.

Ordinance No. 1 of 1872 permits the Governor to warrant the temporary detention of subjects of Foreign Governments who, having been accused or convicted of crimes committed in China, are brought within the Colony in course of transmission to their own country for trial or punishment. Owing to the growth of consular jurisdic- tion such persons are tried in their Consular Courts in China more often than in their own country and as it is as important to detain prisoners being transmitted East as it is to detain prisoners being transmitted West the amend- ments are made in the preamble aud in section 3 of the principal Ordinauce.

Moreover as the principal Ordinance is not an extradi- tion Ordinance but an Ordinance which authorises the detention of prisoners already in lawful custody when, in course of transmission, they are brought to the Colony, sub-section (4) of section 5 which is based on extradition precedents seems unnecessary and His Honour the Chief Justice who is now engaged in the revision of the Ordin- ances has advised its repeal.

The amendment to section 6 is consequential on the amendment to section 5.

The inscription on the seal of the Registrar of Trade Marks does not tally with the inscription required by section 3 of the Principal Ordinance, the amendment validates the existing seal and authorises its future use. Section 12 (2) of the Principal Ordinance does not appear in the Imperial Act and as it deals with proce- dure it has been transferred to the rules relating to pro- cedure made under the Principal Ordinance.

BE 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 Patents Amendment Ordinance, 1911," and shall be read and construed as one with the Patents Ordinance, 1892, and the Patents Amendment Ordinance, 1909, hereinafter called "the Amending Ordinance" and this Ordinance and the said Ordinances may hereafter be cited as "the Patents Ordinances, 1892 to 1911".

2. Section 4 of the Amending Ordinance is hereby amended as follows:

In sub-section (1) by the substitution of the words "Governor-in-Council" for the word

section 5 of Ordinance

1909.

(a.) In sub-section (1) by the substitution of No. 22 of

(.) By the repeal of sub-section (2). (c.)

4. Section 6 of the Amending Ordinance is hereby Amends amended by the deletion of all the words after the section 6 of

In section 12 by the substitution of the words No. 22 of

Governor-in-Council for the word "Go- 1909. vernor throughout the said section.

སུཾ

7 of Ordin-

6. Sections 3 and 7 of the Amending Ordinance are Repeals hereby repealed and the words thereby deleted from sections 3 and sections 3 and 8 of the Principal Ordinance are hereby ance No. restored.

Objects and Reasons.

These amendments in the Patents Ordinances are undertaken in consequence of instructions received from His Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies. The 13th August, 1909, was the date of the passing of Ordinance No. 22 of 1909 but as that was an amending Ordinance to be read and construed with Ordinance No. 2 of 1892 the use of the words "under the provisions of such statutes as are now in force in the United Kingdom" were confusing as it was intended to include the Imperial Act of 1907. The first proviso is inserted because His Majesty's Secretary of State after consultation with the Board of Trade has decided that patents in Crown Colonies should not necessarily he revocable as a result of revocation in the United Kingdom. The second proviso is adapted to the needs of the Colony. The English Act enforces the manu- facture of patented articles in England. The Colony is a centre of Colonial Trade but few articles are manu- factured here; and to revoke the local patents on articles manufactured in the Empire, which are not also manufactured locally, would be to destroy the value of local patents and to sacrifice the spirit of the Imperial Act to its letter.

  No. S. 139.-The following Bill was read a first time at a Meeting of the Council held on the 8th June, 1911 :-

Short title.

Amends sec- tion 4 of Or- dinance No. 7 of 1909.

A BILL

ENTITLED

An Ordinance to amend the Larceny (Amend-

ment) Ordinance, 1909.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Larceny (Amendment) Ordinance, 1911.

2. Section 4 of the Larceny (Amendment) Ordinance, 1909, is hereby amended by the deletion after the words for any term not exceeding of the word "two" and the substitution therefor of the word ** seven

Objects and Reasons,

Section 4 of Ordinance No. 7 of 1909 was intended to bring into force in this Colony certain provisions in the Imperial Larceny Act of 1901" (see Hongkong Hansard, 1909, page 27). The Imperial Act imposes penal servitude for a term not exceeding seven years or imprisonment with or without hard labour for a term not exceeding two years. It is the practice in this Colony to substitute imprisonment with or without hard labour for penal servitude, but to make the term equal in duration to the term of penal servitude, when the provisions of Imperial penal statutes are introduced into the Colony. The departure from this practice was not pointed out when the Ordinance, which this Bill amends, was before the Council in 1909 and was evi- dently due to an oversight in drafting because the punishment provided by Section 62 of Ördinance No. 5 of 1865, replaced by Section 4 of Ordinance No. 7 of 1909, was seven years hard labour and because Sections 64, 65, 67, 68, 69, 70 and 71 of Ordinance No. 5 of 1865 which are not referred to in Ordinance No. 7 of 1909 (and which were not referred to when the Bill was before the Council) are thereby affected to the extent of cutting down the punishment from seven

years to two.

This Bill is therefore intended to correct what was evidently a mistake.

To Owners, Agents, and Masters of Vessels, and others concerned.

Gentlemen-Owing to the influx into the Philippine Islands of persons from Amoy and other plague infected communities in the vicinity of Hongkong, it has been found neces- sary to impose certain restrictions upon vessels proceeding from the port of Hongkong to the Philippine Islands.

   Hereafter, these vessels will be required to call at the Mariveles Quarantine Station and land all steerage passengers and all other persons who ordinarily travel in the steerage.

Passengers landed at Mariveles will be subjected to a quarantiue detention of seven days, dating from the time of completing the disinfection at Hongkong.

The passengers will be bathed and all their effects disinfected under the supervision of a representative of this Service at Hongkong, as heretofore.

**

The quarantine will be strictly enforced against persons who ordinarily travel in the steerage", and purchase saloon passage for the purpose of avoiding detention.

Vessels from non-infected ports, calling en route at Hongkong, will not be required to call at Mariveles, provide:

1. That no liberty has been given the passengers in Hongkong.

2. That no steerage passengers or persons who ordinarily travel in the steerage,

are embarked at Hongkong.

LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.

  No. S. 167.-The following Bills were read a first time at a Meeting of the Council held on the 6th July, 1911 :---

A BILL

Short title.

Amends Ordinance No. 2 of 1897.

ENTITLED

An Ordinance to amend the Probates Ordinance.

1897.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Probates Amendment Ordinance. 1911.

2. The Probates Ordinance, 1897, is hereby amended as follows:

(a.) In the definition of "Estate" in section 2 thereof by the addition after the words "of of the words and includes

such person

property passing on the death of such person".

(5.) After the definition of " Matters and causes testamentary in section 2 thereof by the insertion of the following definition :-

"Next of kin includes persons entitled to any share in the estate of a deceased person.

(e.) In section 14 (2) thereof by the insertion

of the words "or any Japanese subject after the word " America and by the insertion of the words or Japan, as the case may be," after the words" the said United States ".

Objects and Reasons,

The amendments (a) and (b) together with an amendment which is being made by the Stamp Amend- ment Bill, 1911, in the Stamp (Amendment) Ordinance, 1909, are introduced to prevent doubts arising with regard to the Chinese law of inheritance, as it has been suggested, though not proved, in a recent case (Li Chok Hung e. Li Pui Choi) that the French principle of "le mort saisit le rif" is recognised as a portion of the law of China, and that consequently unless probate duty is collected, as estate duty is in England, since the Finance Act 1894, on property passing on death, it cannot be collected at all, because, it is contended, the decased leaves no estate.

The amendment (e) is an amendment consequential on the Convention between the United Kingdom and Japan signed and ratified at Tokio in 1900.

14. Section 51 of the Companies Ordinance, 1865, is Repeals repealed.

Objects and Reasons.

The proviso to section 8 (2) of the Principal Ordinance (Ordinance No. 16 of 1991) is introduced to enable trans- fers of shares, bills of exchange and promissory notes to be stamped after execution in cases of sudden departure from the Colony or other like cases, The words deleted by section 3 relate to a duty which has been obsolete singə Ordinance No. 38 of 1902 was passed. Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 and 10 are based on the Imperial Stamp Act 1891 to the corresponding sections of which reference is made in the marginal notes. Section 11 brings the local practice into line with the practice i troduced into England by the Finance Act 1894 which makes the duty payable on the value at the date of death and not on the value at the time of the grant of probate. The words "passing on death" are also introduced to prevent doubts arising with regard to the Chinese law of inheritance, as it has been sug- gested, though not proved, in a recent case (Li Chok Hung e. Li Pui Choi) that the French principle of "le Mort saisit le rif" is recognised as a portion of the law of China, and that consequently unless pr bate duty is collected on the property passing on death it cannot be collected at all, because it is contended. the decensed leaves ne estate. The amendment affected by section 20 is intended to make the rates of interest uniform throughout the Colony. Sub-sections (1) and (2) of section B are in- troduced to remove doubts and sub-section (3) is already law by virtue of section 51 of Ordinance No. 1 of 1835 but it has been found convement to introduce it into the Stamp Ordinance.

Objects and Reasons.

This Bill is based mainly on the Imperial Stamp Duties Management Act 1891 (54 and 55 Vict. c. 38) to the cor- responding sections of which reference is made in the margin. The licence insisted on by section 3 is however only required in the case of unused stamps. Section 7 replaces section 13 of Ordinance No. 16 of 1901. Section 10 is based mainly on the Stamp Duties Management Act 1891 but certain of its sub-sections, namely, sub-sections (5) and (10) are taken from the Stamp Act 1891 and sub- sections (8) and (9) are a combination of sub-sections of the Stamp Duties Management Act with sub-sections of section 27 of Ordinance No. 16 of 1901. In section 13 of the Stamp Duties Management Act the maximum punish- mout is fourteen years penal servitude. In section 9 of the Stamp Act the penalty is a fine of £50 in addition to any other penalty to which the offender may be liable. The maximum penalty under section 27 of Ordinance No. 16 of 1901 is two years hard labour.

No. 5 of 1895,

A BILL

ENTITLED

An Ordinance to amend the Private Vehicles

Licensing Ordinance, 1895.

Be 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 Private Vehicles Amendment Ordinance, 1911.

2. The following amendments shall be made in Or- dinance No. 5 of 1895:-

(i.) In the title the words "the licensing of

are repealed.

(ii.) In section 1 the word "

the word "licensing

licensing is

(iii.) In section 2 the words " In this Ordinance Private Vehicle includes and the definition of "License" are repealed; and the remainder of the section shall be sub- section (1) of the section, with the follow- ing words added after the word "exempt

shall be licensed in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance ". (iv.) The following sub-sections shall be added

to section 2:

"(2.) The licence shall be taken out by the owner, and shall be issued by such officer as the Governor shall appoint.

(3.) The grant and issue of the licence shall be in the discretion of the officer aforesaid; but any person aggrieved by the refusal of a licence may appeal to the Governor who may direct the licence to be issued."

(v.) Sections 3 and 5 are repealed.

(vi.) Section 4 shall be renumbered section 3.

and shall be as follows:--

The Governor-in-Council may make regulations----

(1.) for the issue of licences, the forms thereof, the fees to be paid therefor, and all other matters connected therewith;

(2.) for the regulation of all vehicles mentioned in section 2, including those which are exempted from being licensed." (vii.) Section 6 shall be renumbered section 4,

and shall be as follows:

The following shall be deemed to be offences in respect of licences required by this Ordinance :

(1.) using any vehicle for which a licence is required without having a licence; (2.) any breach of the conditions of a licence;

(3.) furnishing untrue particulars in obtaining or in respect of any licence;

(4.) using or attempting to use, or allowing any person to use or attempt to use, a licence for a vehicle in respect of which such licence was not granted ;

(5.) using or attempting to use any other document as a licence."

(viii.) Sections 7, 8 and 9 shall be re-numbered

sections 5, 6 and 7 respectively.

Ghjeets and Reasons.

This Ordinance is introduced to render Ordinance No. 5 of 1895 more intelligible, serious errors having been discovered during the course of the Revision of the Laws. This Ordinance deals with traffic as well as licences: the word licensing" has therefore been deleted from the title. No new principle is introduced.

Section 4 is based on section 16 of the Imperial Post Office Act 1908 and on section 31 of the Singapore Ordinance. The importation of lottery tickets is al- ready prohibited by regulations. Section 5 is based on section 9 of the Imperial Act and section 25 of the Singapore Ordinace, section 6 on section 18 of the Imperial Act and section 36 of the Singapore Ordin- ance, section 7 on section 10 of the Imperial Act, sec- tion & on section 64 of the Imperial Act, section 9 on section 61 of the Imperial Act, section 10 on section 63 of the Imperial Act with additions to cover the cases of gum, dyes and other injurious substances, and section 11 on section 67 of the Imperial Act.

LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.

No. S. 208.-The following Bills were read a first time at a Meeting of the Council held on the 10th August, 1911 :-

A BILL

Short title.

Further amends section

13 (1) of Ordinance No. 1 of 1897.

ENTITLED

An Ordinance to further amend the Protection

of Women and Girls Ordinance, 1897.

Be 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 Protection of Women and Girls Amendment Ordinance, 1911,

2. The Protection of Women and Girls Ordinance 1897, as amended by subsequent Ordinances, is hereby further amended in sub-section (1) of section 13 thereof by the deletion of the words he may order the Occupier or keeper to discontinue such use of it; and if such order is not complied with within such time as the Magistrate may by his order direct, the Magistrate may impose and by the substitution therefor of the words he shall erder the occupier or keeper to discontinue such use of it ; and if such order is not complied with within such time, not exceeding one week, as the Magistrate may by his order direct, the Magistrate shall impose".

Objects and Reasons.

This Bill by changing a "may into a "shall limits a Magistrate's discretion so that in future when he is satisfied, on complaint being made by the Captain Superin- tendent of Police or by the Registrar General that a house is used as a lodging-house for prostitutes or disorderly per- sons OT as a brothel he must punish. His discretion however as to the amount of the fine is not interfered with. Where the complaint does not come from the Captain Superintendent of Police or from the Registrar General proceedings are taken under another Ordinance (No. 1 of 1894) in which case the Magistrate's general discretion is not affected by this Bill.

Objects and Reasons,

The

Clause 2 authorises a verbal alteration which does not affect the legal meaning. Clause 3 amends section 4 of the Principal Ordinance which is in the following terms: "In all cases in respect to which no provision is made by this Code, the Rules of Practice for the time being in force in the Supreme Court in England shall be deemed to be in force in the Court, subject to their applicability and with such modifications as the circumstances may require." principal object of the amendment is to give the Legislative Council a greater measure of control than they have at present over the introduction into the Code (which is a legislative patchwork of the English Practice and the old repealed Hongkong Code) of new English rules of procedure. Clause 4 carries out the evident intention of section 36, not effected owing to an error in drafting. Companies registered in Great Britain are foreigu so far as Hongkong is concerned and are dealt with by section 37, and companies like the Basel Mission (see Ördinance No. 2 of 1896) are clearly intended to be governed by the procedure under section 36. Clause 5 substitutes procedure by summons for procedure by motion in applications to set aside writs and thereby saves costs. Clause 6 authorises the deletion of munecessary words without effecting a change in the law. Clause 7 gives the word "estate` the meaning assigned to it by the

!

501

Probates Bill, 1911, and by the Stamp Bill, 1911.

Clause 8 is necessary because it is not intended that the word "statute" shall include Ordinance. It did so under section 16 of Ordinance No. 8 of 1897 (the old Interpretation Ordinance) which is being repealed by the Interpretation Bill now before the Council. Clause 9 repeals a section which was founded on the old Chancery practice of verify- ing pleadings by oath and which is obsolete. Clause 10 repeals the third sub-section of section 135 which is con- tradictory to section 700 and substitutes a useful sub-section. Clause 11 repeals three sections the purport of which is already contained in the Evidence Ordinance, 1889. Clause 12 modifies the language of section 347 so as to bring the law into conformity with the actual practice of the Court, which is a convenient practice. Clause 13 makes a slight amendment in section 349 with a view to checking frivolous applications. Clause 14 repeals a sub-section which is no longer necessary since legal tender was established in the Colony. Clause 15 states clearly what the existing practice is as to orders for "immediate execution", an expression which was left rather vague in the Principal Ordinance. Clause 16 repeals a section which is considered contra- dictory to section 394 and which is not to be found in the English Practice. Clause 17 is intended to make the presence of debtors in custody in Court or Chambers unnecessary in purely formal cases and to facilitate their discharge in cases where there is no opposition thereto, Clause 18 makes a verbal alteration in accordance with the practice. Section 479 required "the filing of a state- ment of claim and the service thereof on the Crown Soli- citor", which is a self contradictory requirement. Clause 19 repeals a transitory section of the Code, the effect of which has expired. Clause 20 makes provision for the discharge of sureties, the discharge of the defendant being already provided for. Clause 21 repeals a sub- section the effect of which is spent. Clause 22 re- peals a merely declaratory section, which is deemed fluous. Cause 23 is consequential. Clause 24 adds a super- proviso to section 624 declaratory of the existing practice both at home and in the Colony. Clause 25 makes a grammatical correction in section 627. Clause 26 repeals a section which has never been and is never likely to be acted upon.

Clauses 27 and 28 make additions, based on the English Practice, to section 42 which is not at present complete and the latter part of Clause 28 introduces por- tions of the said practice which the Government has been instructed to introduce by the Secretary of State in the despatch dated the 8th May, 1911.

An Ordinance to further amend the Opium Or-

Be 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 Opium Amend- ment Ordinance, 1911.

2. The Opium Ordinance, 1909, as amended by the Opium Amendment Ordinance, 1910, and by the Opium Amendment (No. 2) Ordinance, 1910, is hereby further amended by the repeal of section 3 thereof and by the ances Nos. 11 substitution therefor of the following section :

3.

(1.) No person shali import, or aid or abet in the importation, into the Colony or into the waters thereof, any raw opium the importation of which into China shall have been notified in the Gazette as being illegal.

(2.) The provisions of sub-section (1) of this section shall not apply to opium imported by or for the use of the Opium Farmer with the written con- sent of the Colonial Secretary previously ob- tained, and further shall not apply to opium brought into the Colony or into the waters thereof on any steamship under a through Bill of Lading to some place to which such opiam may by the laws of such place be lawfully imported provided that such opium shall not be removed from such steamship whilst in the waters of the Colony,

(3.) No person shall import, or aid or abet in the importation, into the Colony or into the waters thereof any loose opium.

3. The reference in seetiou 8 (I) of the Opium Ordin- ance, 1909, to section 3 thereof shall be deemed to be a reference to the new section 3 substituted by this Ordit.-

tion B.

Comment

H.

4. This Ordinance shall come into operation on the day of

1911.

Objects and Reasons,

Since the new agreement regarding the importation of opium into China limits the importation to chests bearing a certificate that they have been sold in India for the China market, there is no longer any legitimate market for uncer- tified opium exported from Hongkong. The opinn dealers. fear lest imports of uncertified opium should be made into this Colony with a view to smuggling into China thereby interfering with the legitimate and much restricted trade in certified chests. This Ordinance has, therefore, been introduced to meet the new circumstances, Opina required by the Opium Farmer can be imported under permit and opium in transit under a through Bill of Lading is not inter- fered with.

Ordinance No. 2 of 1887.

Objects and Rensons.

The object of the bill is to provide means of controlling the numerous clubs and societies which have come into existence in Hongkong during the last few years.

Some of these societies have been used in the past for the purpose of bringing illegal pressure to bear on persons other than members and it is feared that in the present state of affairs such occurrences may be repeated and dis- orders fomented and it is desired to give the Government. opportunities of obtaining full particulars about these societies and of suppressing them where necessary. hoped also that the Ordinance will be useful in giving the Registrar a stronger position if guidance or advice appear to be called for.

It is

The Ordinance will also enable control to be exercised more effectively over working men's clubs such as those which were responsible for the riots in 1894.

The Trial and Unlawful Societies Ordinance, 1887, is repealed, as all its effective provisions are included in the present bill.

The bill is framed on the same lines as the Ordinance in-

force in the Straits Settlements. It is necessary to include all clubs and societies but in practice a very large number will be permanently exempted from registration.

Fees.

Objects and Reasons.

Clause 2 of the Bill relieves steam trawlers and other mechanically propelled fishing vessels from some of the requirements of the Principal Ordinance with regard to the certificates of competency of their officers. Clause 3, on the analogy of section 9 of Ordinance No. 10 of 1887, which deals with veehicles on land, provides a fitting punishment ($50 fine or two months imprison- ment with or without hard labour) for persons who hire boats and refuse to pay for them. Clause 4 requires all junks within the waters of the Colony to be licensed. Formerly liceusing was not compulsory and could only be effected under sub-sections (14), (15) and (16) of section 39 of the Principal Ordinance which is repealed by the Bill. Formerly also section 39 of the Principal Ordinance dealt with junks and section 40 with boats, lighters, hulks, etc. The new section 39 contains all that it is desirable to retain of both sections. The terms "vessel", "ship" and "junk are defined in see- tion 2 of the Principal Ordinance. In the new Table T the fees for fishing licences remain as before but the fees for trading licences are increased because the special permit is done away with except under exceptional circumstances. Licences in future are to be supplied in book form and so form a permanent history of the vessels in respect of which they are issued. In the new Table U there is but little change. In accordance with the terms of the new section 39 of the Ordinance, Revenue Officers are given powers similar to those possessed already by Police and Harbour Department Officers and persons on board vessels stopped and searched are required to give information as to the ownership of the vessel.

Objects and Reasons.

The amendments (a) and (e) introduced into the Prin- cipal Ordinance by clause 2 of this Bill are due to the decision that Part I of the Principal Ordinance shall not be made to apply to any part of the New Territories other than New Kowloon. The Liquor Licences Ordin- ances 1898 and 1909 rej ealed by the Principal Ordin- ance did not apply to the New Territories (see Ordin- ance No. 34 of 1910 section 4) and it has been fonnd inconvenient to apply the provisions of Part I of the Principal Ordinance thereto. The amendments (b) and (e) of the said clause are introduced because it has been found that the word "woman does not legally cover girls although it was clearly the intention of the framers of the Principal Ordinance and of the Legislative Council which passed it to include girls. The amend- ment (d) corrects a mistake in the Principal Ordin- ance. It re-introduces the provisions of section 32 (1) of Ordinance No. 8 of 1898 which were accidently omitted in the consolidation. The amendments (ƒ) to (r) inclusive are due to the introduction of a more simple set of forms. The amendment (s) is intended to make it clear that the provisions of section 6 of the Principal Ordinance are not meant to apply to those who import solely for export and (t) makes the mean- ing of section 6 (3) of the Principal Ordinance more clear. Clause 4 of the Bill is due to a suggestion by the Editor now engaged on revising the Ordinances to the effect that the term "King's" warehouses is not quite an accurate description of the General Bonded Warehouses which are used.

25. The Triad and Unlawful Societies Ordinance, 1887, Repeal of is hereby repealed.

Ordinance No. 2 of 1887.

Objects and Reasons,

The object of the bill is to provide means of controlling the numerous clubs and societies which have come into existence in Hongkong during the last few years.

Some of these societies have been used in the past for the purpose of bringing illegal pressure to bear on persons other than members and it is feared that in the present state of affairs such occurrences may be repeated and dis- orders fomented and it is desired to give the Government opportunities of obtaining full particulars about these societies and of suppressing them where necessary. hoped also that the Ordinance will be useful in giving the Registrar a stronger position if guidance or advice appear to be called for.

It is

The Ordinance will also enable control to be exercised more effectively over working men's clubs such as those which were responsible for the riots in 1894.

The Trial and Unlawful Societies Ordinance, 1887, is repealed, as all its effective provisions are included in the present bill.

The bill is framed on the same lines as the Ordinance in

force in the Straits Settlements. It is necessary to include all clubs and societies but in practice a very large number will be permanently exempted from registration.

Any animal which may be found at large without any Impounding person having the charge thereof and which may in the stray animal. opinion of any police officer appear to have been lost or to 10 & 11 be doing damage may be seized and impounded by such police officer in any convenient place and may be detained therein until the owner thereof shall have paid to the Cap- tain Superintendent of Police the reasonable expenses of impounding and keeping such animal together with the pound fee.

3. The Governor-in-Council may make regulations fix- Pound fees. ing the pound fees for animals generally or for any parti- cular classes of animal. Provided however that if no such regulations shail have been made, or if the animal im- pounded does not fall within any class in respect of which a pound fee shall have been fixed, the pound shall be one dollar.

4.-(1). If the said expenses and pound fee be not paid Power to sell within three days after such impounping notice of the in- impounded tention to sell the animal shall be published in the Ga-

zette.

(2). If the expenses of impounding and keeping the animal and of the publication in the Gazette and the pound fee are not paid within seven days after the said publica- tion it shall be lawful for the Captain Superintendent of Police to cause the animal to be sold either by private treaty or by public auction as he may think fit and the purchaser thereof shall acquire a good title. If the animal should prove uusaleable or if in the opinion of the Captain Superintendent of Police it should be unsaleable it may be destroyed or otherwise disposed of as he may direct.

(3).

These amendments to the Principal Ordinance are intro- duced at the suggestion of His Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies who in a despatch dated the 6th October, 1911, expressed a desire that, section 14 (1) should be slightly extended in its scope so as to more closely follow the model of the Imperial Act (54 and 55 Vict. c. 38 s. 17) and that the meaning of the words " the chief office or one of the head offices in the second proviso to section 19 should be made more clear.

A BILL

ENTITLED

An Ordinance to further amend the University

Ordinance, 1911.

BE 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 University Short title, Further Amendment Ordinance, 1911.

2. The University Ordinance, 1911, as amended by the Amends University Amendment Ordinance. 1911, is hereby further Ordinance amended as follows:

No. 10 of 1911 as amended by

(a.) in sub-section (7) of section 4 thereof by the Ordinance

deletion of the words "proper authority" and No. 17 of by the substitution therefor of the words "Di- 1911. rector of Education to permit the University Professors and Lecturers or any of them ".

(b.) by the repeal of sub-section (1) of section 4 thereof and by the substitution therefor of the following sub-section :--

(11.) To enter inte arrangements under which the Examiners of the London University, or of any other University, may act as External Examiners for any degree or distinction of the Univer- sity of Hongkong with the power of reporting on the examination papers of candidates and of veto over the passing of any candidate who does not reach the standard, both in separ- ate subjects and collectively, which may be required for corresponding examinations by the London Univer- sity, or by any such other University as the case may be. Provided always that the curricu a for the University of Hongkong shall be worked out and arranged by the University of Hong- kong and that all examination papers shall be read and marked in the first instance by members of the Univer- sity of Hongkong teaching staff."

(c.) by renumbering sub-section (20) of section 4 thereof as sub-section (21) and by inserting after sub-section (19) of the said section the following sub-section :--

"(20.) To make provision for the establish- ment of a University printing press and for the publication of boks and other matter by the University."

(d.) By adding at the end of section 8 thereof the words "The Vice-Chancellor shall be the chief administrative officer of the University and shall have such powers and duties as the Council · shall assign to him."

(e.) By the repeal of paragraph No. 4 of Statute 8 in the Second Schedule thereto and by the sub- stitution therefor of the following paragraph:-

"4. To appoint Professors, Lecturers, and other academic officers of the University and also External Examiners, provided that when the Senate is constituted no appointment shall be made without due consideration of the claims of any can- didate who may be recommended by it."

920

(1.) By the repeal of paragraph No. 3 of Statute 10 in the Second Schedule thereto and by the substitution therefor of the following para- graph:-

3. To recommend, for appointment by the Council, Professors Lecturers, and other academic officers of the Univer- sity and also, after report from the Board of Faculty or Boards of Fa- culties concerned, External Exam- iners."

Objects and Reasons.

The Secretary of State has expressed a desire that the University Ordinances of 1911 should be amended in the light of certain criticisms which have been passed on them by the Board of Education and has meantime refrained from tendering any advice to His Majesty in respect of the said Ordinances. The Board of Education are desirous that the employment of the University of London Exam- iners in collaboration with the members of the teaching staff of the Hongkong University should not imply that the degrees of the Hongkong University will be given on the same examination papers as those which are set to the external stulents of the University of London, as, if this were done, the syllabuses of the London external examina- tions would simply become the curricula of the Hongkong University and all freedom and initiative on the part of the latter institution would be destroyed. They suggest there- fore that the Hongkong curricula should be worked out by the Hongkong University and that the London University should be asked to accept the curricula as broadly equiva- lout to that required for a London deg: ec. The University of London should then, they think, be requested to appoint one of their own examiners in each subject to act as the external examiners for the Hongkong examinations with the power of veto over the passing of any candidate who does not reach the standard required of a London student and with instructions to assure themselves that the stand- ard of the examination both in the separate subjects and collectively is the same as that for a London degree in the particular Faculty concerned. The external examiners would make reports accordingly both to the University of Hongkong and to the University of London, but the ex- amination papers should all be read and marked in the first instance by members of the Hongkong teaching staff, the papers thus marked being then sent with the report to the London Examiners. The Board of Education also think that it is important that the Hongkong University should have the power to set up a printing press and publish hoo is if it desires. They consider that section 4 (7) of the Principal Ordinance gives the Unive sity the power of examining and inspeeting schools independently of the Government and suggest that the sub-section should be modified with a view to safeguarding the position of the Education Department of the Colony in this respect though they see no reason why the Government should not employ such University Professors and Lecturers as they think desirable for the purpose of inspecting and examining schools.

The Board consider that it is of great importauce that the position of the Vice-Chancellor should be placed beyond all reas ›uable doubt and suggest the addition of a clause to the effect that the Vice-Chancellor is the chief admin- istrative officer of the University and shall have such powers and duties as the Council shall assign to him. The Board of Education have also suggested the modification of the Statutes of the University, which is effected by this Bill, in order to avoid a possible cause of friction between the Council and the Senate.

(b) in sub-section (4) thereof by the deletion of the word "on" in the last line thereof and by the substitution therefor of the word " upon and further by the deletion of the word fronts and by the substitution therefor of the word

abuts".

*

(e) by renumbering sub-section (5) thereof as

(d) by inserting after sub-section (4) thereof the

following new sub-section:-

"(5.) No building which does not fall within the provisions of sub-sections (1), (2), (3) or (4) of this section shall be erected or re- erected or raised to a height exceeding such height as the Building Authority may authorise."

4. Section 189 of the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance 1903 i hereby repealed and there shall be substituted therefor the following sections:-

939

"188 A. In the event of any building being here- Height of

after erected or re-erected on a corner site so buildings on as to abut upon more than one street the height corner sites. of such building shall be regulated by the wider of such streets so far as it abuts or will abut upon such wider street and also so far as it abuts or will abut upon the narrower of such streets to a distance of forty feet from the wider street.

letermina- tion of height of buildings.

189.-(1.) Wherever it is possible to do so the height Method of

of any building shall be determined by measur- ing on the line of the wall abutting upon a street, from the level of such street, the full vertical height allowed by the foregoing sec- tions. Such full vertical height shall also be measured from the level of such street on the line of the nearest main wall opposite to the wall abutting on the street. From the points thus determined on the two walls lines shall be drawn at angles of thirty degrees with the horizontal, and any part of the building (except any chimney or party wali, or any ornamental tower, turret, or other architectural feature or decoration, or any parapet not exceeding three feet in height) falling outside such lines shall be deemed illegal. Provided always that in the case of any existing building which exceeds in height one and a halt times the width of the street upon which it abuts, the structure of the roof, or any part thereof, shall not be so altered or added to that any portion of such structure will fall outside lines drawn at angles of thirty degrees with the horizontal from points determined by measuring a full vertical height equal to one and a half times the width of such street on the lines of the main walls in the manner described in this sub-section.

(2.) In the event of the street on which a build- ing abuts not being level throughout the extent of such building, the height shall be measured from the central point of the external face of the wall abutting on such street.

(3.) In any case which does not fall within the foregoing provisions the height of the build- ing shall be determined in such manner as the Building Authority may direct."

Objects and Reasons.

Clause 2 is introduced in order more effectually to carry out the intention of the Legislature which was to confine the electors of the two elected members of the Sanitary Board to those who are special or common jurors and to those who would be jurors but for the nature of their avocations or for age or infirmity. In the clause as now drafted this intention is carried out save that persons holding offices of emolument under the Crown and Military officers are omitted as they and their views are amply represented by the official and appointed members of the Board.

Clauses 3 and 4 are intended to remove doubts which have arisen in consequence of the use of the word "fronts" in section 188 and of the word "abuts" in section 189 and also to make it clear how the height of a corner building abutting on streets of different widths is to be determined.

tious :-

49.

(2.) A copy of this Ordinance and of all Ordinances passed after the commencement of this Ordin- ance, certified under the hand of the Governor and the seal of the Colony shall, as soon as conveniently may be after they have been passed by the Legislativ Council and assented to by the Governor, be transmitted by the Clerk of Councils to the Registrar of the Supreme Court, who shall carefully pre- serve them for record together with the col- lection of Ordinances of the Colony from the commencement thereof down to and inclusive of Ordinance No. 20 of 1886 and the sealed copies of all the Ordinances subse- quent to Ordinance No. 30 of 1886 already preserved in the Registry.

(2.) This section shall come into force at the same time as the proclamation referred to in section 8.

1900 from date of pro-

clamation of New Revised Edition.

Edition.

11. From and after the date of such proclamation the Validity and New Revised Edition shall be deemed to be, operation of and shall be, without any question, in all New Revised Courts of Justice and for all other purposes whatsoever the sole and only proper Statute Book of the Colony up to the date of the latest of the Ordinances contained therein. From and after the said date in so far as there may be variances between the Ordin- ances contained in the New Revised Edi- tion and the Ordinances contained in the Revised Edition or between the New Revised Edition and the originals preserved by the Registrar of the Supreme Court of Ördin- ances passed during the period between the commencement of the year 1902 and the end of the year of 1911 the Ordinances contained in the Revised Edition and the Ordinances passed during the said period shall be deemed to have been amended by and such variations shall be deemed to have been authorised by this Ordinance :

Provided that nothing in this section shall effect the operation of any Ordinance which may be passed, before the issue of such pro- clamation, for the repeal, alteration or amend- ment of any earlier Ordinance after such Ordinance has been printed in the Revised Edition."

Objects and Reasons.

When Ordinance No. 19 of 1911, which was drafted by the Editor now engaged in the preparation of the New Revised Edition of the Ordinances, was passed it was in- tended to make that edition the statute book for general use, in much the same way as the Law Reports Statute or the Revised Statutes are in general use in England; but it was not intended to make the edition incapable of challenge. It is true that Ordinance No. 12 of 1900 made the Revised Edition the sole and only proper statute book of the Colony but an enactment to that effect was absolutely necessary in the case of the Carrington edition because the Editor of that edition used the powers conferred by Ordinance No. 12 of 1900 to their full extent and that Ordinance was not followed by a series of Special Revision Ordinances author-

942

ising the alterations in detail. In the Piggott edition the Editor's authority to revise is not derived solely from Ordin- ance No. 19 of 1911. In addition to that there are or will be a series of Special Revision Ordinances authorising the change in detail, this series comprises Ordinances Nos. 15, 24, 25, 28, 30, 31 and 36 together with the Law Revision, the Law Amendment, and the General Revision Ordinances re- cently passed and others now in course of preparation. However the Colony has grown accustomed to a "sole and only" statute book and there are

            many obvious advantages in such a book, therefore on a re-consideration of the question and at the suggestion of His Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonies it has been decided to make the New Revised Edition the sole and, only proper statute book of the Colony. At the same time it is desirable to make provision for the preservation of all the original statutes and to make them available for use in Court and elsewhere in cases in which, as often happens, it is necessary to refer to repealed enactments. This decision has made it necessary that sections 9, 10 and 11 of Ordinance No. 19 of 1911 should be entirely re- written and re-enacted. It will be noticed that clause 2 of this Bill authorises the deletion of the word "minor" from the section of Ordinance No. 19 of 1911 which permitted the Editor to make minor grammatical amendments. The word is one which immediately introduces controversy and the Editor has asked that it should be deleted. As has already been stated it is intended that all actual amendments will be already authorised in one or other of the Ordinances in the Special Revision series and so the retention of the word "minor" becomes unnecessary. The editor does not intend to make any grammatical amendments which will alter the sense or to make any to which in his opinion the word "minor" does not properly apply, but he would na- turally prefer that controversy should be avoided by the deletion of that word. The amendment to section 7 is due to the fact that some of the Revision Ordinances cannot be passed until the year 1912.

further notice or plans in respect of the premises to which the plans revoked relate, if such further notice or plans

are signed by any authorized architect "other than the authorized architect who "şigned the notice or plans revoked."

Objects and Reasons.

Clause 2 is introduced in order more effectually to carry out the intention of the Legislature which was to confine the electors of the two elected members of the Sanitary Board to those who are special or common jurors and to those who would be jurors but for the nature of their avocations or for age or infirmity. In the clause as now drafted this intention is carried out save that persons holding offices of emolument under the Crown and Military officers are omitted as they and their views are amply represented by the official and appointed members of the Board.

Clause 3 substitutes a definite for an indefinite area in section 153 (2).

Clauses 4 and 5 are intended to remove doubts which have arisen in consequence of the use of the word "frouts" in section 188 and of the word "abuts" in section 189 and also to make it clear how the height of a corner building abutting on streets of different widths is to be determined.

Clause 6 transfers certain duties from the Building Authority, who has not a sufficient staff for the purpose, to authorised architects.

It has been found that changes of architects involving substantial alterations in plans submitted throws a great deal of extra work upon the staff of the Building Authority. The amendment introduced by clause 7 will it is anticipated check these changes somewhat.
