5. The Supreme Court shall have power to stay any action brought against any alien enemy in any case in which it may seem to the Court to be desirable to do so in the interests of justice on account of the impossibility of against obtaining proper instructions from such alien enemy owing alien enemy. to the state of war which exists between His Majesty and the State to which such alien enemy belongs.

Objects and Reasons.

One object of this Bill is to prevent actions being brought against liquidators appointed under the Principal Ordinance in respect of claims which are not disputed. It is obviously undesirable that the estate should be saddled with the costs of such unnecessary actions, and it would be unfair to the other creditors, and against the spirit of the Principal Ordinance, if not against its express provi- sions, if the plaintiff in any such action were to obtain any priority thereby.

A somewhat similar provision exists in bankruptcy law, where no action can be commenced or continued except with the leave of the Court and on such terms as the Court may impose. The authority proposed in the Bill is the Governor and not the Court because the general scheme of the Principal Ordinance is a winding up under the control of the Governor while in bankruptcy the winding up is under the supervision of the Court.

It should be remembered that the winding up under the Principal Ordinance differs from the winding up in bankruptcy in one very important point, for the winding up in bankruptcy results eventually in the discharge of the debtor from all claims provable in the bankruptcy, while the winding up under the Principal Ordinance will not result in any such discharge. Accordingly, refusal under the proposed Ordinance to allow an action to be brought would not determine the remedies of the creditor against the alien enemy.

Another object of the Bill is to provide expressly that actions against liquidators shall bind the alien enemies whose affairs are being wound ap.

The Bill also gives the Court power to stay actions against liquidators or against alien enemies where the interests of justice seem to require that such should be done on account of the impossibility of obtaining proper instructions owing to the existence of a state of war.

(1) My Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, having taken into consideration the fact that it may be necessary to forbid all entrance to certain ports of the Empire, this is to give Notice that on approaching the shores of the United Kingdom, or any of the ports or localities of the British Empire, referred to in Part III. of this Notice, a sharp look-out should be kept for the signals described in the following paragraph, and for the vessels mentioned in paragraph (5), Part II., of this Notice, and the distinguishing and other signals made by them. In the event of such signals being displayed, the port or locality should be approached with great caution, as it may be apprehended that obstructions may exist.

(2) If entrance to a port is prohibited, three RED vertical lights by night, or three RED vertical balls by day, will be exhibited in some conspicuous position, in or near to its approach, which signals will also be shown by the vessels indicated in paragraph (5), Part II., of this Notice.

If these signals are displayed, vessels must either proceed to the position marked "Examination Anchorage" on the Admiralty charts and anchor there, or keep the sea.

(3) At all the ports or localities at home or abroad referred to in Part III. of this Notice, search-lights are occasionally exhibited for exercise.

Instructions have been given to avoid directing moveable search-lights during practice on to vessels under way, but mariners are warned that great care should be taken to keep a sharp look-out for the signals indicated in paragraph (2) above, when search-lights are observed to be working.

PART II.

Examination Service.

(4.) In certain circumstances it is also necessary to take special measures to examine. vessels desiring to enter the ports or localities at home or abroad, referred to in Part III. of this Notice.

(5) In such case, vessels carrying the distinguishing flags or lights mentioned in paragraph (7) will be charged with the duty of examining ships which desire to enter the ports and of allotting positions in which they shall anchor. If Government vessels, or vessels belonging to the local port authority, are found partrolling in the offing, mer- chant vessels are advised to communicate with such vessels with a view to obtaining information as to the course on which they should approach the Examination Anchorage. Such communication will not be necessary in cases where the pilot on board has already received this information from the local authorities.

   (6) As the institution of the Examination Service at any port will never be publicly advertised, especial care shall be taken in approaching the ports, by day or night, to keep

· a sharp look-out for any vessel carrying the flags or lights mentioned in paragraph (7), and to be ready to "bring to

bring to" at once when hailed by her or warned by the firing of a

gun or sound rocket.

   In entering by night any of the ports mentioned in Part III., serious delay and risk will be avoided if four efficient all round lamps, two red and two white, are kept available for use.

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

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

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

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

(8) Masters are warned that, before attempting to enter any of these ports when the Examination Service is in force, they must in their own interests strictly obey all instructions given to them by the Examination Steamer. In the absence of

In the absence of any instruc- tions from the Examination Steamer they must proceed to the position marked "Examina- tion Anchorage on the Admiralty Charts and anchor there, or keep the sea.

Whilst at anchor in the Examination Anchorage, Masters are warned that they must not lower any boats (except to avoid accident), communicate with the shore, work cables, move the ship, or allow anyone to leave the ship, without permission from the Examina- tion Steamer.

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

(10) Merchant vessels when approaching ports are especially cautioned against making use of private signals of any description, either by day or night: the use of them will render a vessel liable to be fired on.

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

Sweeping Operations.

   H.M. Vessels are constantly engaged in sweeping operations off ports in the United Kingdom.

   Whilst so engaged, they work in pairs connected by a wire hawser, and are con- sequently hampered to a very considerable extent in their manoeuvring powers.

   With a view to indicating the nature of the work on which these vessels are engaged, they will show the following signals:

   A black ball at the foremast head and a similar ball at the yardarm, or where it can best be seen, on that side on which it is dangerous for vessels to pass.

   For the public safety, all other vessels, whether steamers or sailing craft, must keep out of the way of vessels flying this signal, and should especially remember that it is dangerous to pass between the vessels of a pair.

Circular No. 681.

PILOT SERVICE.

I. Attention is invited to the 13th, 14th, and 15th paragraphs of Executive Order of July 9, 1914, providing "Rules and Regulations for the Operation and Navi- gation of the Panama Canal and Approaches Thereto, Including All Waters Under Its Jurisdiction," reading as follows:-

(13) Pilotage for vessels in transit through the Canal will be free, nor will they be charged pilotage for entering or leaving a terminal port when it is for the sole purpose of passing through the Canal; but should any such vessel, while in Canal waters, discharge or receive freight or passengers, or take on board supplies, provisions, stores or fuel, or remain for the purpose of effecting repairs, or make either terminal a port of call, she may be liable for entrance or departure pilotage, as the Canal authorities may direct.

(14) Pilotage in and out of the Atlantic and Pacific terminals of the Canal is compulsory, and all vessels, unless otherwise exempted, will be compelled to take a regular Government pilot upon entering or leaving. The fact that the master or any officer of any vessel holds a pilot's licence for any of the waters of the Canal Zone will not authorise the vessel to enter without taking a Government pilot.

(15) No person, steamer, company or corporation will be allowed to maintain or employ pilots in Canal waters for the exclusive use of their own or any other ves- sels; all pilots, without exception, must be duly authorized and licensed by the Canal authorities and be in the employ of the Canal. This shall not be interpreted to mean that the Canal authorities shall be prohibited from issuing restricted pilot licences for small craft in Canal waters, or any other that they may see fit.

2. The charge for pilotage will be based upon the maximum draft of the vessel, and will be at the rate of $1 per foot or fraction thereof, but no fraction will be con- sidered unless it equals or exceeds six inches, in which case the full charge for one foot will be imposed for such fraction.

3. In case a pilot be taken outside the Atlantic breakwaters, an additional fee of $10 will be charged. Pilots will board vessels just inside the Atlantic breakwaters, and at the seaward end of the buoyed channel on the Pacific end.

4. The above charges will become effective August 1, 1914.

Objects and Reasons,

The object of this Bill is to endeavour to place upon a more regular and satisfactory footing than at present obtains the law and the administrative arrangements relative to the payment and collection of the duty leviable upon the estates of deceased persons.

29

The existing law, contained in Ordinance No. 2 of 1897 and Ordinance No. 16 of 1901, sections 22 to 27, is not altogether satisfactory. The definitions of "property are not exhaustive, and there exists no effective machinery for enforcing a full disclosure of the property of a deceased person. The Bill therefore defines " property in detail and provides the Commissioner with suitable means "for obtaining all the necessary information.

The Bill also contains rigorous provisions imposing upon various classes of persons against whom under the present law it would be impossible to proceed the obliga- tion of seeing, so far as they are concerned, that the law shall be carried out; the principle involved being that it is the duty of persons cognisant of property, a portion of which belongs to the revenue of the Colony, to assist Government in ensuring that its revenue shall not be defrauded. In this connection the Bill also provides that a schedule of property shall be attached to every Probate or Letters of Administration and throws an obligation on any person who deals with the property of a deceased person after the grant of Probate or Letters of Administra- tion, of making certain that all the property with which such person in fact deals is actually included in the schedule attached to the grant.

Section

""

1 is formal.

2 makes certain minor amendments.

3 defines the meaning of certain terms used in

the Bill.

4 provides for the levy of estate duty sub- stituting this term for the existing "Pro- bate Duty".

5 sets out the property which is deemed to pass

on death.

6 exempts from the payment of estate duty transactions for money consideration, pro- perty outside the Colony, and shares on local registers.

7 provides for the aggregation of the value of all a deceased person's property in respect of which duty is payable for the purpose of determining the rate at which estate daty shall be charged.

8 sets out the manner in which estate duty is to be paid and contains the new provision that interest shall be payable upon estate duty from the date of death to the date of payment. A similar provision exists in England.

9 introduces the new allowance of an exemp- tion for funeral expenses, which have not up to the present time been allowed to be deducted.

10 provides for the filing of accounts, and gives the Commissioner special powers to sum- mon persons before him, under penalty, in case of default, in order to enable him to obtain a full disclosure of the property of a deceased person. It also gives him power to inspect properties and obtain valuations thereof.

11 provides that no grant shall issue until after estate duty has been paid. Similar provision to that in the existing law is made for cases in which the value of an estate cannot be ascertained immediately ; and a new clause is inserted giving power to the Commissioner to allow the post- ponement of payment of estate duty in cases where the exaction of immediate pay- ment would be a hardship.

12 and 13 re-enact in slightly altered form similar provisions in the existing law, with the addition of clauses providing for the calculation of estate duty on the values of interests in expectancy and interests ceasing on death.

14 introduces the new principle that estate duty shall be a charge on the property in respect of which it is leviable. It also gives power to raise, by means of sale, mortgage or terminable charge, the amount payable for estate duty.

15 provides for the apportionment of the estate duty between the parties liable, with liberty to apply to the Court in case of dispute.

16 gives power to the Governor-in-Council to remit the payment of estate duty equitable grounds.

on

17 contains new provisions giving any person aggrieved by the decision of the Commis- sioner a right of appeal to the Supreme Court.

166

Section 18 introduces an important innovation calcu- lated to prevent the non-disclosure of property. A schedule of the property of a deceased person must be annexed to the grant and it is the duty of any person before dealing with the property of a deceased person to satisfy himself that the property with which he proposes to deal is included in this sche ule: A penalty of $500 is prescribed for non-compliance with the provisions of this section.

2:

19 sub-section (1) re-enacts the existing law Sub-section (2) is new and is inserted with a view to prevent the concealment of the property of a deceased person by making it obligatory for persons con- cerned to inform the Commissioner of the existence of such property at the ear- liest possible moment after such deceased person's death,

20 throws the onus of disclosing the property of a deceased person, in certain cases, on the person having knowledge of such property. The cases are those in which deceased persons have had an interest in a shop, bank or other business under- taking. The Commissioner has little op- portunity of discovering such an interest unless it is disclosed; evasion has been, it is thought, very prevalent in the past. It is hoped to minimise this evasion by imposing upon the manager of such shop, bank or business the duty of making a

disclosure.

21 is an innovation and provides for the filing of adequate accounts by an Executor should he be called upon so to do by the Commissioner. In the past the only manuer in which an executor could be compelled to file any accounts was by means of an application made to the Court by a party interested. This procedure was cumbrous and very rarely used.

22 gives the Commissioner power to reduce any

penalty incurred under the Bill.

The First Schedule amends certain portions of the existing law which, with one exception, are dealt with by this Bill. This exception is the amendment of section 19 of the Probate Ordinance, 1897. At present the Official Administrator can only deal summarily with estates not exceeding $50 in value. This limit has been found in practice to be too low and by this amendment it is raised to $250.

The Second Schedule sets out the rates at which Estate Duty shall be charged. These rates are the same as those in force at present.

The Third Schedule contains tables of the values of annuities for use in the calculation of estate duty on life interests. The tables are taken from the law in force in Fiji.

Objects and Reasons.

The Soeurs de Saint Paul de Chartres (best known as the French Convent) have acquired land in the Colony for the purposes of carrying on their charitable work. Dif- ficulties have sen, and may hereafter arise, in holding and dealing with such land as it has, at present, to be vested in the name of some individual in trust for the Convent. In order to get over such difficulties it is desired that the Convent should be incorporated by Ordinance. Similar incorporation has taken place in the past in the case of other Missions for similar reasons.

The present Bill effects such incorporation and contains the necessary provisions for evidencing the authority of the Mother Superior for the time being to act for the corporation in relation to such land.

Short title.

Leave

necessary for legal proceedings.

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Alien Enemies (Winding up) Amendment Ordinance, 1915, and shall be read and construed as one with the Alien Enemies (Wind- ing up) Ordinance, 1914, (hereinafter called the Principal Ordinance), and with the Alien Enemies (Winding up) Amendment Ordinance, 1914.

(4.) No further proceeding of any kind whatsoever shall without the permission of the Governor be taken in any action or other legal proceeding which was or shall have been begun against any such alien enemy before the appointment of a liquidator to wind up the trade or per- sonal affairs of such alien enemy.

(6.)

(2.) Any such application shall be heard and determined in such manner as the Court may direct, and it shall be lawful for the Court to hear such parties and persons as it may think fit.

(3.) The costs of any such application shall be in the discretion of the Court.

(4.) No claim for any costs awarded against such liquidator on any such application shall have any priority over any other claim against such liquidator in respect of the winding up.

7. Any liquidator appointed under the Principal Ordi- nance shall with the permission of the Governor be entitled to discharge out of the assets in his hand any liability of the alien enemy whose trade or personal affairs such liquidator was appointed to wind up, although such liability may have arisen out of a transaction entered into by such alien enemy on behalf of a branch of his trade outside the Colony and may not be a liability which would ordinarily have been discharged by such alien enemy within the Colony.

8.-(1.) In sub-sections (11), (12) and (13) of section 5 of the Alien Enemies (Winding up) Ordinance, 1914, as enacted tion thereon. by section 7 of the Alien Enemies (Winding up) Amend- ment Ordinance, 1914, the total assets realised or brought to credit by the liquidator shall be deemed to include all credit balances in any bank in any account formerly operated no. by the alien enemy whose trade or personal affairs such liquidator was appointed to wind up, and all sums of money due and payable to any such alien enemy by his compra- dore immediately before the appointment of such liquidator, but no liquidator shall be entitled to any remuneration on any such balance or sum of money without the express permission of the Governor.

Goodwill

and trade marks.

(2.) It shall be within the absolute discretion of the Governor to determine whether any remuneration on any such balance or sum of money shall be drawn.

(3.) Any remuneration on any such balance or sum of money drawn by any liquidator before the commencement of this Ordinance shall, unless the Governor otherwise direct, forthwith be repaid or placed to the credit of the alien enemy whose trade or personal affairs such liquidator was appointed to wind up.

9. No liquidator shall without the express permission of the Governor assign away the goodwill of the trade or of any part of the trade which he was appointed to wind up, or any trade mark used in connection therewith.

Objects and Reasons.

One object of this Bill is to prevent actions being brought against liquidators appointed under the Principal Ordinance in respect of claims which are not disputed. It is obviously undesirable that the estate should be saddled with the costs of such unnecessary actions, and it would be unfair to the other creditors, and against the spirit of the Principal Ordinance, if not against its express provi- sions, if the plaintiff in any such action were to obtain any priority thereby.

A somewhat similar provision exists in bankruptcy law, where no action can be commenced or continued except with the leave of the Court and on such terms as the Court may impose. The authority proposed in the Bill is the Governor and not the Court because the general scheme of the Principal Ordinance is a winding up under the control of the Governor while in bankruptcy the winding up is under the supervision of the Court.

It should be remembered that the winding up under the Principal Ordinance differs from the winding up in bankruptcy in one very important point, for the winding up in bankruptcy results eventually in the discharge of the debtor from all claims provable in the bankruptcy, while

3

171

the winding up under the Principal Ordinance will not result in any such discharge. Accordingly, refusal under the proposed Ordinance to allow an action to be brought would not determine the remedies of the creditor against the alien enemy.

It is also provided that the requirement of the Gover- nor's permission shall apply to actions brought directly against alien enemies whose affairs are being wound up, or whose affairs it is expedient should be wound up, as well as to actions brought against their liquidators.

On the other hand it is proposed that liquidators must obtain the permission of the Governor before beginning any legal proceeding in respect of the winding up, so that the permission of the Governor will be required for actions by liquidators as well as for actions against liquidators.

Another object of the Bill is to provide expressly that actions against liquidators shall bind the alien enemies. whose affairs are being wound up.

The Bill also gives the Court power to stay actions against liquidators or against alien enemies where the interests of justice seem to require that such should bẹ done on account of the impossibility of obtaining proper instructions owing to the existence of a state of war.

It also confers on liquidators the right, with the permis- sion of the Governor, to apply to the Court for directions. on any matter arising out of the winding up.

It also gives power to the Governor to allow liquidators to discharge liabilities incurred outside the Colony. It is not intended that this power if given should be exercised to the prejudice of the discharge of liabilities incurred in the Colony.

The Bill also provides that the assets realised or brought to credit by the liquidators shall include credit balances at banks or in the hands of compradores, but it gives the Governor discretion to determine whether any remuneration shall be drawn on any such balances.

It also provides that liquidators must not sell any good- will or trade marks without permission.

the winding up under the Principal Ordinance will not result in any such discharge. Accordingly, refusal under the proposed Ordinance to allow an action to be brought would not determine the remedies of the creditor against the alien enemy.

It is also provided that the requirement of the Gover- nor's permission shall apply to actions brought directly against alien enemies whose affairs are being wound up, or whose affairs it is expedient should be wound up, as well as to actions brought against their liquidators.

On the other hand it is proposed that liquidators must obtain the permission of the Governor before beginning any legal proceeding in respect of the winding up, so that the permission of the Governor will be required for actions by liquidators as well as for actions against liquidators.

Another object of the Bill is to provide expressly that actions against liquidators shall bind the alien enemies. whose affairs are being wound up.

The Bill also gives the Court power to stay actions against liquidators or against alien enemies where the interests of justice seem to require that such should bẹ done on account of the impossibility of obtaining proper instructions owing to the existence of a state of war.

It also confers on liquidators the right, with the permis- sion of the Governor, to apply to the Court for directions. on any matter arising out of the winding up.

It also gives power to the Governor to allow liquidators to discharge liabilities incurred outside the Colony. It is not intended that this power if given should be exercised to the prejudice of the discharge of liabilities incurred in the Colony.

The Bill also provides that the assets realised or brought to credit by the liquidators shall include credit balances at banks or in the hands of compradores, but it gives the Governor discretion to determine whether any remuneration shall be drawn on any such balances.

It also provides that liquidators must not sell any good- will or trade marks without permission.

LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.

   No. S. 111.-The following Bill was read a first time at a Meeting of the Council held on the 13th May, 1915:-

A BILL

Short title.

Amendment

of Ordinance No. 16 of 1914, s. 2.

INTITULED

An Ordinance to amend the Dentistry Ordi-

nance, 1914.

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 Dentistry Amendment Ordinance, 1915, and shall be read and con- strued as one with the Dentistry Ordinance, 1914, herein- after called the Principal Ordinance, and the Principal Ordinance and this Ordinance may be cited together as the Dentistry Ordinances, 1914 and 1915.

2. Section 2 of the Principal Ordinance is amended by the omission of the words "the administration of any general or local anesthetic" in the definition of the term "Dental operation".

Objects and Reasons.

Though it is probable that the words which this Bill proposes to repeal were inserted in the Principal Ordi- nance with the object of restricting the administration of anaesthetics by unqualified persons, yet the fear has been expressed that they might be interpreted by some regis- tered dental surgeons or exempted persons as a definite invitation to administer general anesthetics, and that they might afford an undesirable defence in case of an untoward result following the administration of a general anesthetic by a dentist with no training in this important branch of medical science. The effect of the proposed amendment will be to assimilate the law of the Colony to the law at present in force in the United Kingdom on this point.

   SIR,-I have the honour to inform you that, according to a telegram received yester- day from Batavia, the Netherlands-Indian Government has declared Hongkong an infected port on account of plague.

   The importation of the following articles from Hongkong or transshipped at this port is temporarily prohibited :

(1.) Wearing apparel, old and worn clothes, household effects for daily use, used bedding, unless these goods are transported as personal luggage or in consequence of removal.

197

(2.) Rags.

Refuse of new goods coming direct from the weaving-mills, from workshops where apparel is made or from bleaching-establishments, artificial wool, and cuttings of new paper, are not considered as rags.

  All goods, of which the importation is not prohibited, shall be disinfected on arrival, if in the opinion of the Health Officer of the Port they have been infected.

  Particulars about the medical inspection of the ship on arrival in a Netherlands- Indian port, and of the passengers and baggage, and about the formalities to be complied with by the masters of ships arriving in Netherlands-India within 21 days after their departure from a plague-infected port, etc., will be given on application at the Nether- lands Consulate General at Hongkong, where an English version of the Netherlands-Indian Quarantine Ordinance can be perused by those concerned.

  I beg however to draw the attention of the shipping to the fact that the quarantine in Netherlands-India against ships coming from Hongkong will be up to 21 days accord- ing to the state of health on board the ships, but subject to exemption on production of certificates legalised by the Netherlands Consul-General at Hongkong. Those certifi- cates are issued by the doctor's firm of Messrs. JORDAN, FORSYTH, GRÖNE & AUBREY.

  Regarding the free admittance in the 2nd and 3rd class ports of Netherlands-India of ships provided with the above certificate, coming from Hongkong, the captains of those ships should bear in mind that:-

1. the passengers on board those ships are submitted in those ports to a medical supervision during five days after the arrival of the ship;

2. the crew is submitted to an equal supervision and can only leave the ship in that period for reasons of service with the approval of the Harbour Master.

Objects and Reasons.

The object of this Bill is to make better provision-

(a.) For the examination of persons entering and

leaving the Colony.

(b.) For the deportation of persons ordered to quit the Colony under the powers conferred by the Order in Council of the 26th October, 1896. (c.) For the registration of visitors at hotels, board-

ing-houses, and clubs.

(d.) For the detection and punishment of persons who attempt to leave the Colony without per- mission or to evade the examination contem- plated by the Bill.

The clauses of the Bill are self-explanatory, but it may be mentioned that Clause 14 is practically a copy of Article 3 of the Aliens Restriction (Amendment) Order, 1915, and that the immediate intention is to restrict the operation of Clause 10 to such persons as are required to obtain

               passes at present.

LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.

   No. S. 195. The following Bills were read a first time at a Meeting of the Council held on the 10th September, 1915:

A BILL

INTITULED

Short title

tion.

An Ordinance to amend the Evidence Ordi-

nance, 1889.

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 Evidence and construc- (Amendment) Ordinance, 1915, and shall be read and construed as one with the Evidence Ordinance, 1889, here- inafter called the Principal Ordinance, and the said Ördi- nance and this Ordinance may be cited together as the Evidence Ordinances, 1889 and 1915.

Repeal of

Ordinance

2. Section 19 of the Principal Ordinance is repealed and No. 2 of 1889, the following section is substituted therefor:

s. 19, and

substitution

of new section.

Admissibility of notarial acts done before Bri- tish diploma- tic and con- sular officers: 52 Vict. c. 10, s. 6 (1): 54 & 55 Vict. c. 50, s. 2.

19. Every oath, affidavit, and notarial act, adminis- tered, sworn, or done, under or in accordance with the provisions of section 6 of the Commis- sioners for Oaths Act, 1889, as amended by section 2 of the Commissioners for Oaths Act, 1891, shall be as effectual as if duly administered, sworn, or done by or before any lawful authority in the Colony."

Amendment of Ordi- nance No. 2

3. Section 25 of the Principal Ordinance is amended by numbering the present section as sub-section (1) and by of 1889, s. 25. adding thereto the following sub-section :-

Definition of

• consular

officer "

52 Vict. c.

10, s. 6 (1):

54 & 55 Vict.

c. 50, s. 2.

"(2.) In this section "consular officer" includes every consul-general, consul, vice-consul, pro- consul, consular agent, acting consul-general, acting consul, acting vice-consul, and acting consular agent."

Amendment

4. Section 32 of the Principal Ordinance is amended as of Ordinance follows:- No. 2 of 1889, s. 32.

""

(a.) by the insertion of the words " who is ' after

the word " person " in the ninth line thereof; (b.) by the repeal of the words ", and, in the opinion of a medical practitioner, not likely to recover from such illness," in the tenth and eleventh lines thereof;

(c) by the deletion of the word "is" after the word "and" in the eleventh line thereof; (d.) by the repeal of the words "to any indictable

offence or" in the twentieth line thereof.

Objects and Reasons.

The main object of this Bill is to assimilate the law of Hongkong to the law of the United Kingdom in respect of the admissibility of affidavits and notarial acts taken and made before British diplomatic or consular officers. The only changes proposed to be effected by this part of the Bill, i.e., clauses 2 and 3, are certain small alterations which were made in the United Kingdom by the Commis- sioners for Oaths Act, 1891, 54 & 55 Vict. c. 50, s. 2.

By

in

An amendment of section 25 of the Principal Ordinance is necessary because the definition of "consular officer the Interpretation Ordinance, 1911, does not appear to be quite wide enough.

It is also proposed to amend section 32 of the Principal Ordinance in three points. This is dealt with in clause 4.

Paragraphs (a) and (c) of that clause correct a gram- matical mistake.

Paragraph (b) does away with what has often been a. source of embarrassment and has sometimes led to the loss of valuable evidence, ie., the requirement that before a deposition can be taken some medical practitioner must express an opinion that the patient "is not likely to recover".

Paragraph (d) corrects a double error. In the first place, the section as a whole relates only to indictable offences, so that the clause introduced by the words, "if the same relates to any indictable offence ", exhausts the whole class and leaves nothing to be operated upon by the clause intro- duced by the words, "and in all other cases". In the second place, the proper officer to receive the deposition in cases where the accused has not been committed or bailed to appear for trial is obviously the Magistrate's Clerk and not the Registrar of the Supreme Court.

322

Objects and Reasons.

The main object of this Bill is to enable a defendant to register a judgment without having to obtain the plaintiff's signature to the memorial. Inconvenience is sometimes caused through the unwillingness of an unsuccessful plain- tiff to assist a successful defendant in this respect.

Clauses 3 and 4 provide for the case of a judgment by which no 66 sum is "recovered".

:

Objects and Reasons.

The object of clauses 3 to 8, both inclusive, of this Bill is to introduce the provisions of the Trading with the Enemy Amendment Act, 1914, 5 Geo. 5, c. 12, with reference to the constitution of the office of Custodian of enemy property.

Clause 9, which is founded on section 9 of the above Act, is intended to prevent the acquisition by companies of any undertakings liable to inspection under section 3 of the Principal Ordinance.

Clauses 10 and 12 propose to re-enact the provisions of the Certificates of Origin Amendment Ordinance, 1915, repealed by clause 2 of the Bill. It has been thought that it would be more convenient to have the provisions of that Ordinance in the present Bill.

The object of clause 11 is to apply to goods coming from or destined for persons of euemy nationality in China, Siam, Persia and Morocco, the powers of seizure and forfeiture given by the above Ordinance with respect to goods coming from an enemy country.

Objects and Reasons.

This Bill should, it is proposed, repeal and supersede the Chinese Emigration Ordinance, 1889, and its amending Ordinances.

There are many circumstances connected with Chinese Emigration which, although important at the time of the Chinese Passengers Act, 1855, are now not of practical consequence; there have been also since the date of the Chinese Emigration Ordinance, 1889, great changes in the conditions under which Asiatic Emigration is permitted from places or in vessels under British control.

The scheme of this Bill is to endeavour to simplify and compress the rather disconnected provisions of the Chinese Einigration Ordinance, 1889, and its amending Ordinances; to connect it more sharply and clearly with its mother Act (the Chinese Passengers Act, 1855), to omit such portions as seem to be at the present day obsolete, unnecessary or forbidden and to bring it up

   to a stage of modern requirements.

It is difficult, therefore, owing to the much altered features of the Bill when it is compared with those of the existing Ordinances to give a tabulated comparison which may be of complete service without entering into a great. - mass of detail.

A general summary of the Bill itself and a general comparative analysis of its divergences from the existing Law seems at any rate desirable. The present Bill is

divided into the following parts

Part I, Preliminary Provisions.

"

II, Provisions relating to ships carrying

emigrants.

III, Provisions relating to emigrants:-

""

(a.) Medical Inspection.

(b.) Provisions relating to Passage Brokers.

(c.) Provisions as to Emigration Boarding

Houses.

Part IV, Penal Provisions.

**

v,

Miscellaneous.

Part I. Preliminary Provisions. The preliminary pro- visions consist of "definitions" and "explanatory clauses indicating where departure has been made from the pro- visions of the Chinese Passengers Act, 1855, and contain certain exemptions from the provisions of the Act in cases in which Asiatic passengers who cannot be classified pro- perly as emigrants are being carried,

357

Part II. Provisions relating to Ships carrying Emi grants.-The general scheme of this Part of the Bill is that all ships to which the Bill applies must be possessed of some form of Licence. Licences are in the Bill divided into three classes designated as General", "Outport" and "Special".

The Outport" licence is that capable of being granted by an Emigration Officer to a ship about to proceed with emigrants from a port outside the Colony.

The General licence and the " Special" licence are Licences capable of being granted by the Governor to ships which are about to proceed with emigrants from a port in the Colony. The "General" licence is as its name implies under no restriction of period ; a "Special" licence is referable only to Mail Ships and is limited in period. In this part are also laid down other formalities which have to be complied with by these ships and the conditions under which each class of licence may be granted.

94

Voyages are divided into two categories, namely, "long" and "short voyages; a "long voyage is a voyage declared to be of more than 30 days duration; a "short voyage is a voyage of more than 7 and not more than 30 days duration or any other voyage declared to be a short voyage.

OF

"

There are three Schedules of Regulations respecting the internal accommodation, comfort and treatment of pas- sengers on voyages. Of these schedules the Sixth pres- cribes what is necessary on long voyages; the Fourth what is necessary on short voyages on ships under "General

Outport" licence; the Fifth what is necessary on short voyages on ships under " Special licence. The require- ments on long voyages are naturally more elaborate than those for short voyages. The requirements on short voyages on ships under " Special" licence are slightly less rigorous than those on short voyages on ships under "General

66 Or 'Outport licences, the reason being that "Special "licences are restricted to ships of that superior class which carries Mails.

"

Part III.

""

Provisions relating to Emigrants :-

(a.) Medical Inspection.-The provisions relative to medical inspection are all brought together in

sections 24 to 30.

66

(5.) Provisions relating to Passage Brokers".

There is little difference between these pro- visions and those which existed under the Asiatic Emigration Ordinance, 1889, and its amending Ordinances.

(e.) Provisions as to Emigration Boarding Houses. The same remarks apply here as are made with regard to paragraph (6) above.

Part IV. Penal Provisions.--The Penal provisions of the Bill have all been brought together in sections 47 to 56. Part V Miscellaneous.--These are more or less Formal sections.

The principal differences which exist between the pro- visions of the Bill and of the Chinese Emigration Ordi- nance, 1889, and its Amending Ordinances are as follows:-

(a.) All references to contract emigrants are omitted in the Bill because Contract Emigration is now a thing of the past.

(6.) A number of sections of the Chinese Emigra- tion Ordinance, 1889, relative to illegal or pro- hibited fittings are omitted in the Bill because it is thought that these provisions are now un- necessary and out of date.

""

(c.) The classification of voyages is clearly marked by their division into two simple categories, namely, "long" and "short". The obligations which a ship is compelled to undertake towards emigrants depend primarily upon whether she is proceeding on the "long" or "short voyage. (d.) The provisions of the Bill relative to Medical requirements and the Penal provisions are grouped respectively in a more convenient form than in the Chinese Emigration Ordinance, 1889.

N.B.--The signals 9-16 do not necessarily imply that bad weather will be experienced here. Neither does the Urgent Signal, No. 17, necessarily imply that wind of typhoon force may be expected, but as it indicates that a typhoon is blowing in Hong- kong the probabilities are that a severe blow will also be experienced in Canton.

As the communication from Hongkong will be received by wire the repeating of the Signals here will, consequently, be dependent on the telegraph being in working order.

No. S. 251. The following Bills were read a first time at a Meeting of the Council held on the 28th October, 1915:---

A BILL

INTITULED

Short title and con- struction.

Repeal of Ordinance No. 27 of 1912, s. 5, and substitu- tion of new section.

Constitution

of the Court when three permanent judges are not avail- able.

An Ordinance to amend the Full Court Ordi- nance, 1912, and to make further provision for the constitution of the Full Court.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Full Court Ordinance, 1915, and shall be read and construed as one with the Full Court Ordinance, 1912, hereinafter called the Principal Ordinance, and the said Ordinance and this Ordinance may be cited together as the Full Court Ordi- nances, 1912 and 1915.

2. Section 5 of the Principal Ordinance is repealed and the following is substituted therefor :--

5. When three judges in the permanent service of the Colony shall not be available the following provisions shall apply :-

(1.) In all interlocutory appeals, appeals from the Court in its summary jurisdiction, appeals from any magistrate (including a marine magistrate), in all cases where the Full Court sits to hear and determine points reserved for its consideration, and in all cases where the Full Court does not sit in appellate jurisdiction, the Full Court shall consist of two judges only.

(2.) In all matters incidental to any application for leave to appeal to His Majesty in Council antecedent to the granting or refus- ing of conditional leave to appeal and other than the actual hearing of the application, aud in all matters incidental to any application for leave to appeal to His Majesty in Council sub- sequent to the granting or refusing of condi- tional leave to appeal, the Full Court may consist either of two or of three judges.

(3.) In all other cases the Full Court shall consist of three judges, one of whom shall be the Judge of His Britannic Majesty's Supreme Court for China (if the Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs has con- sented to such appointment) or a barrister of not less than seven years standing temporarily appointed by the Governor from time to time for the purposes of this Ordinance: Provided that in any case falling within the provisions of this sub-section the Full Court may consist of only two judges if in the opinion of the judge whose judgment or order is being appealed from, aud in the opinion of the two other judges, the presence of the judge whose judgment or order is being appealed from is

unnecessary.

(4.) The provisions of this section, not- withstanding that three judges in the per- manent service of the Colony shall be available, shall also apply whenever and for such periods as the Governor by notification in the Gazette may direct."

3. All matters begun before the commencement of this application Ordinance shall be heard and determined in accordance of Ordinance with the provisions of this Ordinance.

to current matters.

Objects and Reasons.

One object of this Bill is to enable a Full Court of two judges to dispose of all incidental matters relating to applications for leave to appeal to His Majesty in Council, including such matters as the adjournment of an applica- tion. This is necessary on account of the fact that one of the judges who constitute the Full Court of three judges does not reside in the Colony. The actual hearing of the appeal will as before have to come before a Full Court of three judges, except in the case dealt with in the next paragraph.

The other object of the Bill is to provide that the Full Court may in any case consist of only two judges if in the opinion of the judge whose judgment or order is being appealed from, and in the opinion of the two other judges, the presence of the judge whose judgment or order is being appealed from is unnecessary. This provision could be utilised in order to prevent the congestion of work which might occur during a long session of a Full Court of three judges.

5 & 6 Geo.

writing has previously been given by the company to the custodian of their intention.

5, c. 79, s. 4: Ordinance No. 25 of 1914, s. 3 (3).

Objects and Reasons.

The main object of this Bill is to intro luce the provisions of the Trading with the Enemy Amendment Act, 1915, 5 & 6 Geo. 5, c. 79. It also makes certain other minor amendments in the law.

Clauses 2 and 3 are intended to improve the provisions for restraining the registration of companies formed for the purpose of acquiring the whole or any part of the under- takings of firms or companies, which, though not entirely of enemy character, yet contain such an amount of enemy character, or such a connection with the enemy as to render them liable to suspicion.

The effect of the amendments will be to make the law on this point the same as the law in the United Kingdom.

Clause 4 is taken from the Trading with the Enemy Amendment Act, 1914, 5 & 6 Geo. 5, c. 12, and pro- vides an additional ground for the appointment of a con- troller under section 4 of the Principal Ordinance.

Clauses 5 to 7 are taken from the Trading with the Enemy Amendment Act, 1915.

Clause 5 includes in the list of moneys which must be paid to the custodian (a) the interest on securities issued by any government or corporation and (b) any amount payable on the payment off of any security issued by a company. It also throws on the person through whom any interest on such securities would be paid in the Colony the duty of making the payment to the custodian. A sub- clause gives the Governor power to exempt any liquidator or any other person from the operation of this clause.

Clause 6 adds to the forms of property held on behalf of an enemy which must be notified to the custodian (a) balances and deposits standing to the credit of enemies at any bank and (b) debts to the amount of $500 or upwards which would have been due to enemies. It also requires the custodian to keep a register of all property returns which will be open to inspection by persons interested. The Governor is given power to exempt from this section also.

Clause 7 requires companies which are liable to inspec- tion on account of their partial enemy character or their former connection with an enemy, to give notice to the custodian before commencing any legal proceedings.

Clause 4 is inserted in order to make it clear that the above two clauses will apply to all summonses issued after the commencement of the Ordinance whether the offence was committed before or after that date.

Clause 5 proposes to raise the maximum fine to $250 in the case of indictable offences tried summarily. This is in order to assimilate the maximum fine in this class of case to the maximum fine adopted in clause 6 in accordance with the law in force in England.

Clause 6 is intended to give a magistrate power in all cases to impose a fine instead of imprisonment. It is taken from the Summary Jurisdiction Act, 1879. The magistrates in Hongkong already have power to fine in most cases, but a few cases exist in which they have not. Examples are the offence of unlawful pawning and the offences punishable under the Vagrancy Act, 1824.

Clause 7 is intended to assign to Ordinance No. 28 of 1913 a different short title from that of Ordinance No. 3 of 1913.

ment.

Objects and Reasons.

This Bill is complementary to the China (Companies) Order-in-Council, 191, and the joint object of these two enactments is to increase the control over Hongkong com- panies which carry on business in China.

These companies fall into two classes, i.e., companies which are managed from Hongkong, and companies which The former class are managed from some place in China. are termed in the Order-in-Council and Bill "Hongkong China Companies", and the latter class are termed "China Companies

In the case of companies which are managed from Hongkong, the territorial jurisdiction of the Colonial Government and Courts enables an effective control to be exercised over the company through the persons of its directors and officers here, whatever their nationality. In the case, however, of companies of the second class, the directors and officers of which are resident outside the British Dominions, there is no effective control over the company unless some at least of the directors and officers are of British nationality, because the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court for China is in general confined to British subjects and protected persons. It is this difficulty which has led to the introduction of the above Order-in-Council and this Bill.

The solution which has been adopted is to require that Hongkong companies which are managed from some place in China shall have connected with them a certain number of British subjects on whom a personal control can be exercised, and to provide that the shares in any such com- panies which are limited by shares will be fully pail up within three months after allotinent. The exact provisions in the case of companies limited by shares are that the majority of the directors, and the auditors, must be British subjects, that no person other than a British subject shall be appointed to act within the limits of the Order-in-Council as liquidator of such a company, or as receiver or manager on behalf of the debenture holders, except with the sanction of the Court, and that no shares shall be issued except either as fully paid up or upon the term that the shares shall be fully paid up within three months after allotment. The provision as to the shares is in order to avoid the difficulty of recovering calls from persons of nou-British nationality in China. In the comparatively rare case of companies limited by guarantee, the provisions are that no such company shall be allowed to operate without the cou- sent of the Minister, who may as a condition of this consent require that no person other than a British subject shall be a member, or that any member who is not a British subject shall give security for insuring the pay- ment of the amount for which he would be liable under the guarantee.

The Order-in-Council also provides that the jurisdiction conferred by the Hongkong Companies Ordinances upon any Court shall within the limits of the Order-in-Council be exercised by the Supreme Court for China, and that that jurisdiction shall, subject to the provisions of the Order, be exercised in conformity with the provisions of the Hongkong Companies Ordinances. The Order-in- Council and Bill together provide that in all matters relat- ing to a Hongkong China company the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of Hongkong and of the Supreme Court for China shall be concurrent and mutually auxiliary, and provisions are made for transferring proceedings from one Supreme Court to the other.

484

At the same time provision is made for the establish- ment of a Register of companies at Shanghai, where all documents relating to China companies will be led and fees paid.

The opportunity has also been taken of making certain minor amendments in the law which are desirable. These will be referred to specifically below.

Clause 1 is formal.

15

"

66

Clause 2 contains definitions. the definition of "China Company Hongkong China Company ", and "British Company being taken from the Order-in-Council. The nomenclature of the Order-in-Council has been departed from in one respect, namely, in substituting the term "The Companies Ordinances" for the term "The Ordinance ".

Clause 3 proposes to establish a Register at Shanghai and provides that all acts done by or before the Registrar at Shanghai shall be of the same validity as if they had been done by or before the Registrar of Companies in Hongkong. It also directs that all documents required by the Companies Ordinance to be filed with the Registrar of Companies shall in the case of a China Company be filed with the Registrar at Shanghai, and that a copy of all such documents shall in the case of a Hongkong China Com- pany, as defined in the Bill, be filed with the Registrar at Shanghai. It also provides that all fees which a company is required to pay to the Registrar of Companies shall in the case of a China Company be paid to the Registrar at Shanghai.

Clause 4 deals with the question of transfer from one Register to another, either on notice by the__company concerned or on the motion of one of the two Registrars, and provides for an appeal to the Supreme Court from any order of transfer.

Sub-clause (6) of this clause is inserted in order to bring the notices referred to within the terms of the Table of Fees in the First Schedule to the Companies Ordinance,

1911.

Clause 5 is complementary to corresponding provisions in the Order-in-Council, and the two sets of clauses taken together are intended to make the Supreme Court of Hongkong and the Supreme Court for China of concurrent jurisdiction, and auxiliary to each other, in all matters relating to a Hongkong Company, as defined in the Bill. The clause also empowers the Supreme Court of Hong- kong to enforce orders of the Supreme Court for China in all matters relating to China Companies.

Clause 6 enacts certain amendments in the Companies Ordinance, 1911. Most of these are self explanatory and are necessitated by the new order of things introduced by the Order-in-Council. The others are shortly referred to below.

Sub-clause (1) of clause 6 repeals a clause which will not be necessary when the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court for China are auxiliary to each other.

Sub-clause (2) of clause 6 repeals three sub-clauses which are unnecessary, notice of the situation of the registered office being sufficiently, and more suitably, dealt with in section 63 of the Companies Ordinance, 1913. There is no precedent in the Companies (Consolidation) Act, 1908, for these three sub-clauses.

Sub-clause (3) of clause 6 is intended to prevent the improper use of the word "British" in the names of companies. The proviso is added because all China Companies will have a real and substantial British charac-

ter.

Sub-clause (6) of clause 6 is intended to assist in mark- ing the distinction between China Companies and other limited companies, established under the law of a foreign state, which are not subject to British control in China.

Sub-clause (7) of clause 6 is intended to correct a slight error which crept into the Companies Amendment Ordi- nance, 1913.

This point is further dealt with in clause 8 (1).

}

t

485

Sub-clause (10) of clause 6 is an attempt to impose more stringent conditions on the commencement of business by a new company in order to prevent fraud.

Sub-clause (12) of clause 6 provides that an application for the appointment of inspectors may be made by either Registrar of Companies as well as by members of the company.

Sub-clause (13) of clause 6 deals with three points:

Paragraph (a) corrects a slight error introduced by the Companies Amendment Ordinance, 1913. This point is also dealt with in clause 8 (2).

Paragraph (b) repeals the proviso added by the Com- panies Amendment Ordinance, 1913, to section 113 (5) of the Companies Ordinance, 1911, as this proviso appears to be unnecessary. This point is also dealt with in clause 8 (3).

Paragraph (c) enacts that the provision of the Companies Amendment Ordinance, 1913, for the formation of a list of authorised auditors shall not apply in the case of a China Company, as it is considered undesirable that there should be any such list in the case of China Companies.

Sub-clause (15) of clause 6 gives both Registrars power to apply for a winding up order.

Sub-clause (20) of clause 6 corrects an obvious misprint in article 50 of Table A in the First Schedule to the Companies Ordinance, 1911.

Clause 7 excepts China Companies from the operation of the sections of the Companies Ordinance, 1911, which deal with the question of local registers. It retains however the annual fee heretofore paid by companies with local registers in China, as it re-enacts that shares in such companies shall be exempt from transfer duty and probate and estate duty, except in the case of transfers where the transfer is executed by the transferor in the Colony.

Clause 8 makes the necessary amendments in the Com- panies Amendment Ordinance, 1913, which have been referred to above under sub-clauses (7) and (13).

Clause 9 provides that the Companies Ordinances, in so far as they affect companies carrying on business within the limits of the China Orders-in-Council, shall be read with and subject to the Order-in-Council above referred to.

Clause 10 is intended to suspend the commencement of the Ordinance until the date when the Order-in-Council comes into operation.

Objects and Reasons.

The object of this bill is to give the Governor-in- Council power to make from time to time such provisions as may be necessary for regulating and restricting importa- tion into the Colony and exportation from the Colony.

The powers conferred may seem wide but they appear to be justified by three considerations. One is that the measure is a war measure. The second is that the ingenuity of persons who attempt to evade the law must be met from time to time by fresh measures introduced with the least possible delay. The third is that a quick and elastic form of legislation is desirable in the interests of legitimate trade.

LOCAL NOTICE TO MARINERS, No. 165.

CHINA SEA.

TIENTSIN DISTRICT.

Winter Navigation of Taku Bar and of the Hai Ho.

System of supplying information concerning ice in Gulf of Pechili.

   NOTICE is hereby given of the following arrangements for the winter navigation of Taku Bar and the Hai Ho:

Aids to Navigation:

General.

   After about the 1st December the Aids to Navigation over the Taku Bar will consist of the Outer Bar Range Lights, (which have been converted to the Aga system and considerably strengthened), the Inner Bar Range Lights and the River Entrance Lights. The position of the Taku Lightvessel, the Entrance Buoy, the Bar Lightboat and the Spit Lightboat will be marked by spar buoys, which, however, owing to shallow water or ice are liable to be ineffective marks. The wreck of the S.S. Guthrie will also be marked by a spar buoy. An unlighted beacon has been erected on its exposed forecastle head. The maintenance of this beacon cannot be assured. Particulars concerning these matters will be found in Local Notice to Mariners No. 164.

493

After the removal of the Taku Lightvessel her place will be taken by an ice-breaker to the following extent, and showing lights as described hereinunder :-

At the commencement of the winter season, i.e., immediately after the removal of the Taku Lightvessel, an ice-breaker will continuously act as lightvessel so long as ice- breaking operations are not needed.

When such operations are needed the continuous occupancy of the lightvessel's position by the ice-breaker will cease. She will, however, when possible, act as light-

· vessel for a few hours before the expected arrival of a steamer.

Subsequently she will not again act continuously as a lightvessel unless it be so

notified.

Ice Conditions:

When ice exists, information concerning conditions will be telegraphed to Chefoo. Later on arrangements may be made for signalling the information from Chefoo. In the meantime vessels bound for Taku should call at that port for it. Passing steamers should also communicate conditions by the special signals laid down herein.

   Vessels arriving off Taku, whose Agent has given the necessary notice as laid down herein, will, if conditions permit, find an ice-breaker in the position of the lightvessel. The Ice-master will inform the Master of conditions. If the Master decides to proceed a pilot will, if desired, be placed on board from the ice-breaker. At a suitable time the ice- breaker will, if necessary, lead the way in, and, in doing so, will make such instructive signals concerning the steamer's action as the Ice-master considers desirable.

It should be understood that when the Ice-master makes such a signal the Master of a following steamer is free to use his discretion as to obeying that signal so far as con- siderations concerning the safety of his own vessel are concerned. It would, however, be well for him to consider what would be the effect of disregarding the signal if that disregard affected the safety of a third vessel.

   It should be clearly understood that the Harbour Authority, under whose authority the ice-breakers operate, and the Haiho Conservancy Board, who own the ice-breakers, incur no responsibility in respect to accidents which may happen in the process of follow- ing an ice-breaker. A vessel accepting the services of an ice-breaker in the above Conditions does so at her own risk.

:

Particulars.

Ice-breaking Signals :

   An ice-breaker leading the way and steamers following shall make use of the follow- ing signals:-

One short blast

Two short blasts

Three short blasts

One long blast

Three long blasts

Five long blasts

meaning

port.

My engines are going astern.

(a.) Can I pass ahead of you? (b.) (From an ice-breaker ahead) You are requested to pass ahead of me. Come on.

Keep back.

   A vessel requiring the assistance of an ice-breaker should make the following signals:-

By day: A pennant with two balls beneath it: also a succession of one long

and three short blasts on the whistle or syren.

By night: Three lights in a vertical line one over the other not less than 6 feet apart of which the highest and lowest are white and the middle one red; also a succession of one long and three short blasts on the whistle or syren.

Pilots and Masters should make a special point not to call upon an ice-breaker to perform any work in connexion with vessels under their charge except such as is actually needed. The ice-breakers will otherwise be unduly hampered in the carrying out of their general routine work.

Ice-breaker acting as Lightvessel:

494

When acting as a lightvessel the ice-breaker will show:

By day a black ball at her masthead.

By night five minutes of flashing with her search-light every 15 minutes.

During foggy or thick weather a gong will be sounded at intervals of one minute, when the fog signal of a vessel in the neighbourhood, showing that she is underway, is heard.

Pilots:

Masters are warned against the danger of taking their vessels over the Taku Bar during the winter season without a pilot. They should realise that the spar buoys replacing the summer floating aids are necessarily liable to be ineffective and that the wreck of the Guthrie forms a special danger.

Inward bound vessels may obtain a pilot from the ice-breaker acting as a lightvessel. Notice by Agents :

Steamer Agents at Tientsin should give the earliest notice possible to the Harbour Office concerning the following:---

(a.) Date and time of steamer's departure from Chefoo.

(b.) Time of steamer's expected arrival off Taku.

Ice information:

Ice telegrams, giving information of the ice conditions at Taku, Chinwangtao, and-- as far as can be ascertained-in the Gulf, will be sent daily from Taku and Chinwangtao and will be posted at the Harbour Offices at Chefoo, Taku and Tientsin.

Masters of steamers are requested to co-operate in this matter by reporting the ice conditions met with to the Harbour Masters at Tientsin, Chinwangtao and Chefoo immediately on arriving at one of these ports. Such reports will be posted.

To facilitate the making of these reports a special book of forms will be supplied on application to any of the Harbour Offices mentioned.

Masters of steamers are further requested to co-operate by making it a routine. practice to signal to passing steamers the ice conditions experienced. The following special signals should be used for the purpose.

CUSTOM HOUSE,

TIENTSIN, 19th November, 1915.

A. MORRISON,

Harbour Master.

NOTICE TO MARINERS, No. 606.

CHINA SEA.

TIENTSIN DISTRICT.

Gulf of Pechili.

Winter Navigation of Taku Bar and of the Haiho; System of supplying Information concerning Ice in the Gulf of Pechili.

    In continuation of Notice to Mariners No. 605, notice is hereby given of the follow- ing arrangements for the winter navigation of the Taku Bar and the Haiho.

General.

    After the removal of the Taku Light-vessel, on or about the 1st December, her place will be taken by an ice-breaker to the following extent and showing lights as described hereunder.

    At the commencement of the winter season, i.e., immediately after the removal of the Taku Light-vessel, an ice-breaker will continuously act as light-vessel so long as ice-breaking operations are not needed.

When such operations are needed, the continuous occupancy of the light-vessel's position by the ice-breaker will cease. She will, however, when possible, act as light- vessel for a few hours before the expected arrival of a steamer.

Subsequently, she will not again act continuously as a light-vessel unless it be so

notified.

Ice Conditions.

When ice exists, information concerning conditions will be telegraphed to Chefoo. Later on arrangements may be made for signalling the information from Chefoo. In the meantime, vessels bound for Taku should call at that port for it. Passing steamers should also communicate conditions by the special signals laid down herein.

*

196

  A vessel arriving off Taku, whose agent has given the necessary notice as laid down herein, will, if conditions permit, find an ice-breaker in the position of the light-vessel. The ice-master will inform the master of conditions. If the master decides to proceed, a pilot will, if desired, be placed on board from the ice-breaker. At a suitable time the ice-breaker will, if necessary, lead the way in, and, in doing so, will make such instruc- tive signals concerning the steamer's action as the ice-master considers desirable.

  It should be understood that when the ice-master makes such a signal the master of a following steamer is free to use his discretion as to obeying that signal so far as considerations concerning the safety of his own vessel are concerned. It would, how- ▾ ever, be well for him to consider what would be the effect of disregarding the signal if that disregard affected the safety of a third vessel.

  It should be clearly understood that the Harbour Authority, under whose authority the ice-breakers operate, and the Haiho Conservancy Board, who own the ice-breakers, incur no responsibility in respect to accidents which may happen in the process of following an ice-breaker. A vessel accepting the services of an ice-breaker in the above conditions does so at her own risk.

Particulars.

Ice-breaking Signals.

  An ice-breaker leading the way and steamers following shall make use of the follow- ing signals:---

One short blast

meaning

I am altering my course to starboard.

Two short blasts

Three short blasts

My engines are going astern.

One long blast

(b.) (From an ice-breaker ahead) You are

Three long blasts

Five long blasts

(a.) Can I pass ahead of you?

requested to pass ahead of me.

Come on.

Keep back.

  A vessel requiring the assistance of an ice-breaker should make the following signals:--

By day. A pennant with two balls beneath it; also a succession of one long

and three short blasts on the whistle or siren.

By night. Three lights in a vertical line one over the other not less than 6 feet apart, of which the highest and lowest are white and the middle one red; also a succession of one long and three short blasts on the whistle or siren.

Pilots and masters should make a special point not to call upon an ice-breaker to perform any work in connexion with vessels under their charge except such as is actually needed. The ice-breakers will otherwise be unduly hampered in the carrying out of their general routine work.

Ice-breaker acting as Light-vessel.

When acting as a light-vessel the ice-breaker will show

By day.A black ball at her masthead.

By night. Five minutes of flashing with her searchlight every 15 minutes.

  During foggy or thick weather a gong will be sounded at intervals of one minute when the fog signal of a vessel in the neighbourhood, showing that she is under way, is heard.

Pilots.

Masters are warned against the danger of taking their vessels over the Taku Bar during the winter season without a pilot. They should realise that the spar buoys replacing the summer floating aids are necessarily liable to be ineffective and that the wreck of the Guthrie forms a special danger.

Inward-bound vessels may obtain a pilot from the ice-breaker acting as a light-vessel.

i

Notice by Agents.

  Steamer agents at Tientsin should give the earliest notice possible to the Harbour Office concerning the following:-

(a.) Date and time of steamer's departure from Chefoo.

(b.) Time of steamer's expected arrival off Taku.

Ice Information.

Ice telegrams, giving information of the ice conditions at Taku, Chinwangtao, and -as far as can be ascertained in the Gulf, will be sent daily from Taku and Chin- wangtao and will be posted at the Harbour Offices at Chefoo, Taku, and Tientsin.

Masters of steamers are requested to co-operate in this matter by reporting the ice conditions met with to the Harbour Masters at Tientsin, Chinwangtao, and Chefoo im- mediately on arriving at one of these ports. Such reports will be posted.

  To facilitate the making of these reports a special book of forms will be supplied on application to any of the Harbour Offices mentioned.

Masters of steamers are further requested to co-operate by making it a routine practice to signal to passing steamers the ice conditions experienced. The following special signals should be used for the purpose.

The two main objects of this bill are to increase the maximum speed allowable on the Hongkong Electric Tramway, and to give to the company's officers and ser- vants more satisfactory powers with regard to the detention of persons who commit offences against the Tramway Ordinance or against the rules made thereunder.

Clause 1 is formal.

Clause 2 raises the maximum speed by five miles per hour. The present maximum has been found to be un-

necessarily low.

Clause 2 also deals with the procedure for bringing new rules into operation. At present, a rule made by the Governor-in-Council cannot be brought into operation under a month, and a rule made by the company cannot be brought into operation under two months. This might be very inconvenient in case of emergency, and the clause will empower the Governor-in-Council to reduce either period if necessary in any particular case.

Clause 3 will relieve the company from the obligation to exhibit a list of the fares on the outside of the cars. It is impossible to find any place on the outside of the cars where such list would be of any real use.

Clause 4 improves the wording of section 51 of the Principal Ordinance.

Clause 5 will repeal a provision in the Principal Ordi- nance which is more appropriately dealt with in the rules made under the Ordinance.

Clause 6 deals with the question, of the detention of offenders, and its main object is to prevent their evading the law by the expedient of giving a false name and address, or by refusing to give any name or address.
