4. In section 30A of the Summary Offences Ordinance, Amendment 1845, the figure "82," is deleted.

of Ordinance No. 1 of 1845, s. 30A.

Objects and Reasons.

The object of this Ordinance is firstly to repeal section 70 of the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance, 1903, which authorised the seizure of unmarked meat and which is unnecessary, as much meat may be lawfully sold and consumed in the Colony which does not bear the official mark of the Government slaughter houses; and secondly. to repeal section 82 of the Ordinance as enacted by the amending Ordinance of 1928, (No. 19 of 1928, s. 8) and to substitute two sections therefor based partly on that These section and partly on the sections it replaced. sections deal with the sale, possession, inspection, seizure and destruction of unwholesome food. The reference to section 82 of the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance in section 30A of the Summary Offences Ordinance is deleted because it is not considered necessary and because the penalty has been increased. So far as the power of arrest given by that section is concerned section 27 of the Police Force Ordinance (Ordinance No. 11 of 1900) provides all that is considered necessary.

  (2) The Enumerator shall, not earlier than eight days and not later than the day before the Census Day, deliver to each prescribed person in his district or to a person acting on behalf of such prescribed person the appropriate form of return, and shall, upon delivery of the form, enter thereon such particulars as the Superintendent of Census may require. It shall however be lawful for the Enumerator, in such cases as the Superintendent of Census shall deem fit, instead of delivering the form to the prescribed person, to retain the form and to fill in on behalf of the prescribed person, the particulars required.

(3) The Enumerator shall, if so requested by any prescribed person or by any person acting on behalf of such prescribed person, give such explanations as to the form of return or the procedure to be followed in making the return as are reasonably necessary to enable the prescribed person to make a proper return.

6. Every person with respect to whom it is the duty of a prescribed person to make a return shall give to the prescribed person such information as he may reasonably require for the purpose of enabling him to make the return:

  Provided that no person shall use, publish, or communicate to any other person any information so given otherwise than in accordance with these regulations.

(2) Where such claim and notice have been duly served, the prescribed person to whom notice is given shall not be required to include in his return any particulars with respect to the person claiming other than the name of such person and the relation in which he stands to the prescribed person, and the person so claiming shall be deemed to be the prescribed person with respect to himself and shall, in making his return, state therein the name of the person who but for the claim would have been required to make the return.

8. (1) The Enumerator shall, as nearly as may be in the course of the day follow- ing the Census Day, collect all forms of return delivered by him and shall examine each return and satisfy himself that the entries thereon are properly and sufficiently made, and shall make all such inquiries as are reasonably necessary for that purpose and shall himself make such corrections in the return as appear to him on inquiry to be required.

(2) Every person shall give the Enumerator all such information as may reasonably be required by him as aforesaid for the completion or correction of any return.

9. The Enumerator shall on receiving each return, enter upon the return such particulars as may be required by the Superintendent of Census to be entered by the Enumerator on the form of return and shall forthwith-

(a) enter in all forms of return collected by him such further particulars as may

(b) deliver to the Superintendent of Census the returns of all prescribed persons in his district duly completed and entered as aforesaid, and do such other acts and things relating to the census enumeration in his district as may be required by the instructions of the Superintendent of Census given under these regulations.

11. The Superintendent of Census may himself give such directions to Enumerators as he may deem necessary for carrying out the duties imposed upon them by these regulations.

12. Where it appears to the Superintendent of Census that an Enumerator is for reasons of health or otherwise unfit to perform the duties imposed on him by these regulations the Superintendent of Census may appoint some fit and proper person in his place to perform the said duties.

13. The Superintendent of Census may, if he thinks fit, require an Enumerator to make a statutory declaration that such Enumerator has properly and sufficiently per- formed the duties imposed on him by these regulations.

14. No person having the custody, whether by himself or on behalf of any other person, of any forms of return, or other confidential documents relating to the Census shall permit any other person without lawful authority to have, or fail to prevent any other person from having, access thereto.

FEES TO BE CHARGED AT THE MERCANTILE MARINE OFFICE.

1.-Engagement or discharge of crews.

In ships under 100 tons

100 to 400 tons

$ 5.00

10.00

400 to 700 tons

700 to 1,000 tons

56

15.00

20.00

and so on for ships of larger ton- nage adding for every 300 tons or part of 300 tons, 5

dollars.

2.-Engagement or discharge of seamen. Separately 80 cents each.

Orertime fee, when engagement or discharge takes place on board ships.

From 8 a.m. to 9 a.m., and 5

p.m. to 6 p.m.

$5 per hour.

From 6 a.m. to 8 a.m., and 6

p.m. to 8 p.m.

10 per hour.

Before 6 a.m.,

and after 8

p.m....

20 per hour.

Any portion of an hour shall count as one hour.

2. Section 5 (5) of the said Ordinance provides for the payment upon all engagements and discharges of "such fees, not exceeding the sums specified in Table I in the Schedule, as may be fixed by the Governor in Council".

3. The unprecedented fall in the sterling exchange value of the local dollar and the necessity for revising and adjusting the sources of revenue to meet current needs has brought this Table of fees under review with the result that the new Table I set out in section 2 has been approved by the Government of the Colony.

>>

4. Section 3 includes wireless telegraph operators in Table J so as to bring it into line with the new Table I. Such persons were not contemplated at the time of the passing of Ordinance No. 10 of 1899. Table J is also revised by the substitution of the word " seamen for the word crew as being a word the precise meaning of which is ascertainable from the provisions of the principal Ordinance, under section 21 of which " seaman

"includes every person (except masters, pilots, and apprentices duly indentured and registered) employed or engaged in any capacity on board any ship.

5. Clause 4 repeats the suspending clause which was included in the principal Ordinance (section 47 of Ordinance No. 36 of 1899, as numbered before the renumbering as Ordinance No. 10 of 1899 in Sir John Carrington's Revised Edition of the Ordinances from 1844-1901) is consequence of section 735 of the Mer- chant Shipping Act, 1894. The principal Ordinance of 1899 and the amending Ordinances of 1901 and 1903 were confirmed by His Majesty's Order in Council of the 10th August, 1903 (No. 674 on p. 313 of Vol. 8 of the Statutory Rules and Orders Revised to 31st Decem- ber, 1903) and was proclaimed in the Colony on the 18th September, 1903 (Proclamation No. 6 in Hong Kong Government Gazette of the 18th September,. 1903, p. 1071).

-I

Objects and Reasons.

The object of the bill is to provide for the registra- tion of nurses.

By this means the public will be safeguarded by knowing that the nurses registered under the proposed Ordinance have been properly trained and examined, and are competent to take charge of their patients. It will also enable persons requiring nurses, both the medical profession and private individuals, to inspect the register and select nurses trained in the particular work which they are desired to undertake.

The bill follows the English Act, The Nurses Regis- tration Act, 1919, with this difference that a Board is substituted for the General Nursing Council, and regulations by the Governor in Council are substituted for rules made by the General Nursing Council. This latter course is taken in conformity with the usual practice in the Colony.

76

The bill is drafted with the further object of obtain- ing from the Nursing Councils for England and Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Irish Free State respectively similar treatment for Nurses which will be registered under it to that which the bill purposes conferring upon Nurses registered under the said Councils.

Provision is made also for the registration of nurses trained in any place outside the Colony provided that the training and examination is of the requisite. standard. This will enable nurses trained in China, if efficiently trained, to be registered.

Chinese Institutions approved by the Board will be enabled to carry on the training of nurses.

This bill and proposed regulations have been sub- mitted through the Secretary of State to the Nursing Authorities in England and Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Irish Free State and the recommenda- tions made by them have been embodied in the bill and regulations.

(2) Notwithstanding anything contained in section 3 (1) (a) of the Widows' and Orphans' Pension Ordi- nance, 1908, as amended by this Ordinance, every person, whose salary did not suffer abatement before the first day of January, 1930, and has suffered abate- ment since that date, by reason of his receipt of a salary of not less than four hundred and twenty dollars per annum but less than four hundred and eighty dollas per annum, shall receive a refund of his contri- butions, unless he claims the right to participate as a contributor within three months after the commence- ment of this Ordinance.

(ii) the preamble ;

(iii) paragraph (b) of section 2 ;

(iv) the words "to the Fund" at the end of

section 3 (1);

(r) the words "to the Fund" in line 3 and in

line 7 of section 3 (3);

(vi) the words "to the Fund" at the end of

section 3 (4);

(vii) the words "to the Fund" in the first line of

section 29.

Objects and Reasons.

In view of the recent revision of salaries it has been considered desirable that the minimum annual salary rendering an officer liable or eligible for contribution to the Widows' and Orphans' Pension Scheme should be raised from four hundred and twenty to four hun- dred and eighty dollars, without prejudice to contri- butors prior to the revision whose revised salary has not reached the latter amount. Officers who are con- tributing to another approved scheme can claim exemp- tion under section 3A of the principal Ordinance (No.

78

15 of 1908) which was introduced by the amending Ordinance No. 9 of 1929. It is considered that such officers should be permitted to claim exemption if they have completed their contributions to an approved scheme and obtained what amounts to a fully paid policy thereunder. The provisoes added to section 3 (1) of the principal Ordinance by section 2 (2) of this Ordinance are derived from the Uganda Ordinance. These provisoes exclude Governors, their Private Secretaries and Aides de-Camp and persons who have attained the age of forty-nine from being required to commence contributing under the principal Ordinance. Section 5 deletes the references to the Fund constituted under the Ordinance of 1900 and the transfer thereof to the Government. As the Ordinance stands in the 1924 Revision the long title and preamble are incor-

rect.

of Ordinance

No. 1 of 1845, s. 30A..

Objects and Reasons.

The object of this Ordinance is firstly to repeal section 70 of the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance, 1903, which authorised the seizure of unmarked meat and which is unnecessary, as much meat may be lawfully sold and consumed in the Colony which does not hear the official mark of the Government slaughter houses; and secondly to repeal section 82 of the Ordinance as enacted by the amending Ordinance of 1928, (No. 19 of 1928, s. 8) and. to substitute two sections therefor based partly on that section and partly on the sections it replaced. These sections deal with the sale, possession, inspection, seizure and destruction of unwholesome food. The reference to section 82 of the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance in section 30A of the Summary Offences Ordinance is deleted because it is not considered necessary and because So far as the power of the penalty has been increased. arrest given by that section is concerned section 27 of the Police Force Ordinance (Ordinance No. 11 of 1900). provides all that is considered necessary.

(11) Where the accountable person discovers that for any reason too little estate duty has been paid he shall forthwith deliver to the Commissioner a further account, verified by oath, and shall at the same time pay the difference between the estate duty chargeable according to the true value of the estate and the estate duty already paid.

(12) Where the Commissioner discovers that any property which ought to have been disclosed by affidavit or account has not been so disclosed he shall notify the accountable person and call upon him to disclose such property and pay the estate duty thereon, and the accountable person shall, within one month of the giving of such notice by the Commis- sioner deliver an original or a further account, as the case may require, disclosing such pro- perty, and shall at the same time pay the estate duty thereon.

(13) The Commissioner may remit the interest payable on estate duty where the amount of such interest is in his opinion so small as not to repay the expense and labour of calculation and account.

(14) Every person who shall have been called upon after the lapse of one year from the death for an original account, or at any time for a further account, under sub-section (12) and every person who without lawful authority or reasonable excuse fails to comply with any of the provisions of this section shall be liable to pay to the Commissioner, in addition to the estate duty (if any), a penalty of one thousand dollars, or a penalty equal to the amount of the estate duty (if any) at the rate set out in the Schedule remaining unpaid for which he is accountable, according as the Commissioner elects.

Objects and Reasons.

1. The object of this Ordinance is to amend the Estate Duty Ordinance, Ordinance No. 16 of 1915, in various ways suggested by the practical working of the Ordinance. Some of the amendments now proposed are intended to bring the Ordinance into closer agreement with the Finance Act, 1894, 57 & 58 Vict. c. 30.

Others are designed to prevent evasion of estate duty.

into

2. When the principal Ordinance, which came force on the 1st January, 1916, was enacted it contained a provision that in the case of persons dying before the commencement of the Ordinance the probate duty formerly payable under the Stamp Ordinance, 1901, should continue to be payable instead of the new estate duty. When the Stamp Ordinance, 1901, was replaced by the Stamp Ordi- nance, 1921, the above temporary and limited provision was still further limited by a provision that estate duty and not probate duty should be payable in the case of any estate to which representation was applied for after the

96

commencement of the new Stainp Ordinance, whatever the date of the death of the deceased. In the revision of the Ordinances in 1924, the effect of the latter provision was incorporated in section 2 of the Estate Duty Ordi- nance in such a way, through an oversight, as to make the latter Ordinance applicable only to cases where application for representation is made after the 1st May, 1921. But Estate Duty is a matter which attaches on the death of a person, wholly irrespective of representation being taken out to his estate. Section 2 therefore amends section 2 of the principal Ordinance by making the Ordi- nance applicable to all deaths after 1st January, 1916, and also to deaths before that date if representation has not been applied for before the 2nd May, 1921.

3. Section 3 (1) of this Ordinance amends section 3 (1) of the principal Ordinance by defining the expressions "Account", "Affidavit for the Commissioner and "Estate" and by substituting revised definitions for the definitions of "Commissioner", "Prescribed" and "Pro- perty". In the definition of the term "Commissioner" a reference to the Treasurer is inserted in place of the former reference to the Registrar of the Supreme Court, because the Treasurer was substituted for the Registrar as Commissiouer by order of the Governor published in the Gazette of the 11th January, 1924. The definition of the term "Commissioner" is also altered so as to include any Deputy Commissioner of Estate Duty. This is done in order to give such Deputy Commissioner the powers of the Commissioner.

Section 3 (2) amends section 5 of the principal Ordi- nance, which deals with property passing on death, by adding a paragraph in respect of specialty debts derived from section 39 of the Revenue Act, 1862.

4. Section 6 of the principal Ordinance contains a list of properties in respect of which estate duty is not payable. After the principal Ordinance was passed, though before it came into operation an addition had been made by legislation (Ordinance No. 31 of 1915, s. 7) to the classes of property not chargeable with estate duty, i.e., shares in China companies. Section 4 of this Ordinance now adds that class to the list in section 6 of the principal Ordinance.

5. Section 5 of this Ordinance amends section 8 of the principal Ordinance so as to make it correspond more closely with the language of section 6 (2) and (4) of the Finance Act, 1894, because it is considered desirable to make it clear that duty is to be paid on delivery of the affidavit and account. Section 8 (6) is amended by the deletion of words which were deleted in 1896 from section 6 (6) of the Act.

6. Section 9 (3) of the principal Ordinance is considered to be defective. It provides that "No allowance shall be made for debts due from the deceased to persons resi- dent out of the Colony unless contracted to be paid in the Colony, or charged on property situate within the Colony". In the new sub-section (3) substituted by section 6 of this Ordinance the words " to persons resident out of the Colony" are omitted to avoid deductions on account of debts charged on property situated outside the Colony and which are not liable to Hong Kong estate duty.

7. Paragraph (b) of section 6 of this Ordinance alds four sub-sections to section 9 of the principal Ordinance, i.e., sub-sections (5), (6), (7) and (8).

8. The new sub-section (5) is intended to replace section 13 (4) of the principal Ordinance, where the subject matter of the sub-section is not so relevantly placed. That sub- section, however, will now appear in section 9 of the principal Ordinance in a different form. It was based on section 7 (6) of the Finance Act, 1894, but it was adapted in a form which has proved to be mistaken and which has given rise to difficulty and even to litigation.

It will now appear as section 9 (5) of the principal Ordinance in the exact words of the sub-section in the English Act.

97

9. The no

new sub-section (6) of section 9 will replace the former section 13 (5) of the principal Ordinance. That sub-section, again, has proved unworkable in practice. The new section 9 (6) is taken verbatim from section 7 (7) of the Finance Act, 1894. The wording of the sub-section is awkward and rather artificial, but it has received judicial interpretation in England and the meaning now appears to be clear: see for example, A. G. v. Coole (1921) 3 K. B. It has therefore been decided to adhere to the wording of the English sub-section, a practice which is generally desirable.

It is

10. The new sub-section (7) of section 9 of the principal Ordinance replaces section 10 (6) of that Ordinance. practically a copy of section 7 (8) of the Finance Act, 1894. The new sub-section (8) replaces the former section 10 (7), and is practically a copy of section 7 (9) of the Finance Act, 1894.

11. The above four new sub-sections seem to be most appropriately placed in section 9 of the princial Ordinance which deals with the question of the value of the estate for estate duty purposes generally.

12. Section 7 of this Ordinance repeals section 10 of the principal Ordinance and substitutes a new section. The new section consists partly of the present provisions of the old section, partly of those provisions altered, and party of new matter.

13. The new section 10 (1) applies the simple procedure of the Crown Remedies Ordinance, 1875, Ordinance No. 6 of 1875, to the recovery of estate duty, interest on estate duty, and any fines, penalties or forfeitures provided by the Ordinance. This procedure is already by the parti- cular provisions of sections 18 (1), 19 (3) and 20 (2), applied to the recovery of penalties, and is by section 13 (2) applied to the recovery of the treble duty payable on a late further affidavit. These particular provisions are being repealed by the present Ordinance.

14. The new section 10 (2) enables a judge in special circumstances to make an order dispensing with personal service of process and to give directions as to substituted service or as to notice of proceedings by posting copies of the process to addresses within or without the jurisdiction of the Court. The sub-section is founded partly on rule 3 of the Exchequer Rules, 1860, and crystallizes to some extent the old jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (illus- trated by the case of Hobhouse v. Courtney 10 L.J.N.S. Ch. 377 and the cases cited therein) which was transferred to the Supreme Court of the Colony by Ordinance No. 3 of 1873. The case of Western Suburban etc., Society v. Ruckledge, 1905 II Ch. 472, affords an example of an order for service by posting a letter to an address abroad. The provisions of sections 37 and 38 of the Crown Suits Act, 1865, dealing with revenue cases against persons resident out of the jurisdiction of the Exchequer are not in force in the Colony.

15. The new section 10 (3) gives power to the court to appoint a receiver, or order a sale, in the case of any proceeding for the recovery of estate duty. This sub- section is taken from section 8 (13) of the Finance Act, 1894,

16. The new section 10 (4) replaces the old section 10 (1), and is made to correspond more closely with section 8 (3) of the Finance Act, 1894.

17. The new section 10 (5) replaces the old section 10 (2), except that the proviso exempting bona fide purchasers for value without notice is transferred to a separate sub- section by itself, i.e., sub-section (7), and its place is taken by a proviso relieving persons who act merely as agents in the management of property. This new provision is taken from the corresponding sub-section in the Finance Act, 1894, i.e., section 8 (4).

98

18. The new section 10 (6) replaces the old section 10 (3), which is extended by the deletion of the words with regard to the premises

66 and relating to the estate in respect of which estate duty is leviable on the death of the deceased" and the substitution for the latter of the words "the inspection

....reward' which are

taken from section 59 (1) of the Fijian Death and Gift Duties Ordinance No. 10 of 1920. The Commissioner is given power also to require verification on oath of state- ments made to him by persons summoned before him, and the penalty is transferred to a general sub-section, i.e., sub-section (14).

19. The new section 10 (7) has already been referred to above. It is merely transferred from another part of the section.

20. The new section 10 (8) replaces with slight altera- tion the old section 8 (5).

21. The old section 10 (4) disappears as it is considered unnecessary.

22. The old sections 10 (6) and 10 (7) have been transferred to a more appropriate place in section 9 of the principal Ordinance by section 6 of this Ordinance.

23. The new section 10 (9) replaces the old section 10 (8) with slight verbal differences. It also provides that if the amount of duty ascertained by the Commis- sioner exceeds the amount already paid the accountable person shall forth with pay the balance.

24. The new sub-sections (1 ) (11) and (12) of section 10 revise and replace the old sub-sections (1) and (2) of section 13 and deal separately with the cases of non dis- closure discovered respectively by the accountable person and by the Commissioner.

25. The new section 10 (13) replaces the old section 10 (9).

26. The new section 10 (14) is a general penalty sub- section applying to the whole section. It is based on section 8 (6) of the Finance Act, 1894, except that it provides for a penalty of $1,000 or a penalty equal to the amount of duty at the rate set out in the Schedule instead of £100 or a sum equal to double the amount of the duty.

27. Section 12 of the principal Ordinance provides for the payment of estate duty at three times "the customary rate where an affidavit or account is "for the first time " lodged after a year from the death, or (in the case of a person dying outside the Colony) after a year "from the date of the grant of administration outside the Colony, unless the person lodging the affidavit or account can prove that "within the said period of one year" he was not aware of the existence of estate of the deceased within the Colony and could not "within such period" with reasonable diligence have ascertainel its existence. section is unsatisfactory.

The

28. Section 8 of this Ordinance substitutes a section 12 which contains the following features :

new

(a) The treble rate is applied to all late accounts, unless the accountable person can prove that he used all reasonable diligence to ascertain the estate and to deliver an account upon its dis-

covery.

(b) In the case of "resealing" the period of delay

allowed is 18 months from death.

(c) The rates in the Schedule are specifically referred

to.

99

(d) It is provided that for the purposes of the section no account is to be deemed to have been delivered until the apparent duty has been paid, unless the Commissioner has allowed payment to be post- poned.

29. Section 9 of this Ordinance repeals section 13 of the principal Ordinance. The various sub-sections of that section are being dealt with as follows:-

(a) Sub-section (1) is replaced by the new section 10

(10).

(b) Sub-section (2) is replaced by the new sub-sec-

tions 10 (11) and 10 (12).

(c) Sub-section (3) is not being reproduced.

Its

effect is not very clear, but it seems to be an undesirable limitation both on the right of appeal and on the right of demanding additional duty. (d) Sub-section (4) reappears in the new section 9 (5), except that the mistaken provision for ascer- taining the value of an interest in expectancy is omitted: see paragraph 8 above.

This will help to make it clear from the share register that a transfer from A to D was through C the executor of B the unregistered owner of the shares,

30. Section 10 of this Ordinance amends section 16 of the principal Ordinance by the deletion of the words "by Refunds are not in fact made by treasury warrant ". treasury warrant but by cheque.

31. Section 11 of this Ordinance repeals section 18 of the principal Ordinance and substitutes a new section 18 which differs from the old section 18 in the following points:-

(a) It is provided that the Schedule of property to be annexed to the probate or letters of adminis- tration is to be under the hand of the Commis- sioner.

(b) The penalty under the present section 18 for dealing with property of the deceased not con- tained in the above Schedule is only $500. The new section 18 makes the penalty $1,000 or three times the single rate duty payable upon the estate dealt with, at the election of the Cominis- sioner. The person in question will, however, be relieved from liability if he can show any lawful authority or reasonable excuse.

32. Section 12 of this Ordinance repeals section 19 of the principal Ordinance and substitutes a new section 19 which differs from the old section 19 in the following points:-

(a) The new section 19 deals separately with the two distinct cases of intermeddling by a person who is entitled to apply for administration and that of intermeddling by a person who is not entitled to apply for administration. In the case of a person who is not entitled to apply for admin- istration the liability to penalty arises immedi- ately upon intermeddling. In the case of a person who is entitled to apply for administration the liability for penalty arises in two cases, i.e., (1) when the person in question intermeddles within six months after the death and also fails

-

100

or

within that period to deliver accounts to the Commissioner, and (2) when the person in ques- tion intermeddles after six months after the death without having within that period furnished accounts to the Commissioner.

(b) It is made clear by reference to the Schedule that the penalty of three times the amount of the duty is to be at three times the single rate of duty and that penalty and duty together shall not exceed four times that rate.

(c) In dealing with the case of persons entitled to apply for administration the two classes are dis- tinguished of (1) the executor appointed by the will and (2) the person entitled in priority to the administration.

(d) Sub-section (2) of the present section 19 which allows intermeddling for the purpose of the maintenance of the family of the deceased pro- vided that the Commissioner has been notified of the death, opens the door to evasion. This sub-section is replaced by the new sub-section (4) which gives the Commissioner power to allow intermedling for the purpose in question or for the purpose of the burial of the deceased and also for the purpose of preparing accounts. (e) The

new sub-section (5) provides that the recovery of any penalties provided by this section shall be without prejudice to the recovery of the estate duty.

(f) The new sub-section (6) provides that no account is to be deemed to have been delivered until the apparent duty has been paid, unless the Com- missioner has allowed postponement of payment. (g) The present section 19 (3) disappears because the question of recovery of penalties is dealt with generally in the new section 10 (1).

(h) The present section 19 (4) is omitted because the whole point of the section is to prevent inter- meddling without furnishing accounts to the Commissioner, and the question of obtaining probate or administration is irrelevant. The case of persons who are entitled to administer without furnishing accounts is sufficiently dealt with by the reference to lawful authority or reasonable excuse in the new section 19 (1).

33. Section 13 of this Ordinance amends section 20 of the principal Ordinance in two minor points One is that the word " penalty" is substituted for the word "sum" "debt" in order to make the general provisions rela- ting to penalties apply clearly to the penalties which are called sums and debts in the present section 20. The other is that sub-section (2), which provides for the reco- very of the $500 penalty is omitted because the matter is dealt with generally in the new section 10 (1).

34. Section 14 of this Ordinance repeals section 22 of the principal Ordinance which gave the Commissioner or the Court power to reduce penalties and substitutes a new section giving the Commissioner discretionary power to reduce penalties and to reduce to single rate any duty at a higher rate chargeable under the Ordinance.

35. Section 15 of this Ordinance inserts five new sec- tions in the principal Ordinance. The new section 24 enacts 2 of 3 sub-sections of a section which was recom- mended by the Stamp Duties Committee which reported in August, 1929. It has not been thought practicable to enact the other sub-section which appeared in Annexe B of the report in question and which cast on the personal representative the onns of proving a negative. It is intended to make registration prima facie evidence of beneficial ownership at death in the case of shares on share registers which are by law required to be kept within the Colony.

101

36. The new section 25 provides that if estate duty bas already been paid in respect of any settled property since the date of the settlement, upon the death of one of the parties to a marriage, no estate duty shall be payable on the death of the other party to the marriage unless such person was at the time of his or her death, or had been at any time during the continuance of the settlement, com- petent to dispose of such property. This provision is adapted from section 5 (2) of the Finance Act, 1894, as amended by section 14 of the Finance Act, 1914. The special definition in sub-section (2) of the term settlement is inserted because in the principal Ordinance generally that term excludes testamentary dispositions.

37. The new section 26 gives relief in certain cases of quick succession, the duty on the second death being reduced in accordance with a scale which varies according to the period elapsing between the two deaths.

              This pro- vision is taken from section 15 of the Finance Act, 1914.

38. The new section 27 gives relief in the case of estates which just pass over one of the steps in the scale of estate duties. The effect of the section can best be seen from examples. For example, an estate is valued at $10,500. At the new rate of 3% (the old rate is the same) the estate duty would be $315. Under this section, however, duty can be paid at 2% on $10,000, i.e., $200, with an addition of $50, i e., $250 in all instead of $315. Again, an estate is assessed in $100,500. At the new rate of 6% the estate duty would be $6,030. Under this section duty can be paid at 5% on $100,000, i.e., $5,000, with an addition of $500, i.e., $5,500 in all instead of $6,030. Of course if an estate passes over the step in the scale by more than a small amount it would not pay the estate to claim the relief. This provision is taken from section 13 (1) of the Finance Act, 1914.

39. The new section 23 gives relief in the case of certain interests which do not fall into possession. It provides that in the case of settled property, where the interest of any person fails by reason of his death to become an interest in possession, and subsequent limita- tions continue to subsist, the property shall not be deemed to pass on his death. This provision is taken from section 5 (3) of the Finance Act, 1894. As in the case of the new section 25, the terms settlement and settled property are specially defined for the purpose of this section. The reason is the same as that given in paragraph 35 above.

The

40. Section 16 of this Ordinance repeals the Schedules to the principal Ordinance. The First Schedule was repealed by the Law Revision Ordinance, 1924. Second Schedule is replaced by a new Schedule in which the scale of graduated rates is revised and increased. The repeal of the Second Schedule and the substitution of the new Schedule is made subject to a proviso derived from section 29 of the Finance Act, 1919, relating to the sale or mortgage of interests in expectancy before the com- mencement of this amending Ordinance. The Third Schedule disappears with the omission of the present section 13 (5) and the alteration of the present section 13 (4). This matter is referred to in paragraphs 8, 9 and 29 above.

Objects and Reasons.

1. The object of this Ordinance is to amend the Estate Duty Ordinance, Ordinance No. 16 of 1915, in various ways suggested by the practical working of the Ordinance. Some of the amendments now proposed are intended to bring the Ordinance into closer agreement with the Finance Act, 1894, 57 & 58 Viet. e. 30. Others are designed to prevent evasion of estate duty.

2. When the principal Ordinance, which came into force on the 1st January, 1916, was enacted it contained a provision that in the case of persons dying before the commencement of the Ordinance the probate duty formerly payable under the Stamp Ordinance, 1901, should continue to be payable instead of the new estate duty. When the Stamp Ordinance, 1991, was replaced by the Stamp Ordi- nance, 1921, the above temporary and limited provision was still further limited by a provision that estate duty and not probate duty should be payable in the case of any estate to which representation was applied for after the

126

commencement of the new Stamp Ordinance, whatever the date of the death of the deceased. In the revision of the Ordinances in 1924, the effect of the latter provision was incorporated in section 2 of the Estate Duty Ordi- nance in such a way, through an oversight, as to make the latter Ordinauce applicable only to cases where application for representation is made after the 1st May, 1921. But Estate Duty is a matter which attaches on the death of a person, wholly irrespective of representation being taken out to his estate. Section 2 therefore amends section 2 of the principal Ordinance by making the Ordi- nance applicable to all deaths after 1st January, 1916, and also to deaths before that date if representation has not been applied for before the 2nd May, 1921.

a

3. Section 3 (1) of this Ordinance amends section 3 (1) of the principal Ordinance by defining the expressions Account", "Affidavit for the Commissioner" and "Estate" and by substituting revised definitions for the definitions of "Commissioner", "Prescribed" and "Pro- perty". In the definition of the term "Commissioner reference to the Treasurer is inserted in place of the former reference to the Registrar of the Supreme Court, because the Treasurer was substituted for the Registrar as Commissioner by order of the Governor published in the Gazette of the 11th January, 1921. The definition of the term "Commissioner " is also altered so as to include any Deputy Commissioner of Estate Duty. This is done in order to give such Deputy Commissioner the powers of the Commissioner.

Section 3 (2) amends section 5 of the principal Ordi- nance, which deals with property passing on death, by adding a paragraph in respect of specialty debts derived from section 39 of the Revenue Act, 1862.

4. Section 6 of the principal Ordinance contains a list of properties in respect of which estate duty is not payable. After the principal Ordinance was passed, though before. it came into operation an addition had been made by legislation (Ordinance No. 31 of 1915, s. 7) to the classes of property not chargeable with estate duty, i.c., shares in China companies. Section 4 of this Ordinance now adds that class to the list in section 6 of the principal Ordinance.

5. Section 5 of this Ordinance amends section 8 of the principal Ordinance so as to make it correspond more closely with the language of section 6 (2) and (4) of the Finance Act, 1894, because it is considered desirable to make it clear that duty is to be paid on delivery of the affidavit and account. Section 8 (6) is amended by the deletion of words which were deleted in 1896 from section 6 (6) of the Act.

6. Section 9 (3) of the principal Ordinance is considered to be defective. It provides that "No allowance shall be made for debts due from the deceased to persons resi- dent out of the Colony unless contracted to be paid in the Colony, or charged on property situate within the Colony " In the new sub-section (3) substituted by section 6 of this Ordinance the words "to persons resident out of the Colony" are omitted to avoid deductions on account of debts charged on property situated outside the Colony and which are not liable to Hong Kong estate duty.

7. Paragraph (b) of section 6 of this Ordinance adds four sub-sections to section 9 of the principal Ordinance, ¿.c., sub-sections (5), (6), (7) and (8).

8. The new sub-section (5) is intended to replace section 13 (4) of the principal Ordinance, where the subject matter of the sub-section is not so relevantly placed. That sub- section, however, will now appear in section 9 of the principal Ordinance in a different form. It was based on section 7 (6) of the Finance Act, 1894, but it was adapted in a form which has proved to be mistaken and which has given rise to difficulty and even to litigation. It will now appear as section 9 (5) of the principal Ordinance in the exact words of the sub-section in the English Act.

127

9. The new sub-section (6) of section 9 will replace the former section 13 (5) of the principal Ordinance. That sub-section, again, has proved unworkable in practice. The new section 9 (6) is taken verbatim from section 7 (7) of the Finance Act, 1894. The wording of the sub-section is awkward and rather artificial, but it has received judicial interpretation in England and the meaning now appears to be clear: see for example, A. G. v. Coole (1921) 3 K. B. 607. It has therefore been decided to adhere to the wording of the English sub-section, a practice which is generally desirable.

10. The new sub-section (7) of section 9 of the principal Ordinance replaces section 10 (6) of that Ordinance. It is practically a copy of section 7 (8) of the Finance Act, 1894. The new sub-section (8) replaces the former section 10 (7), and is practically a copy of section 7 (9) of the Finance Act, 1894.

11. The above four new sub-sections seem to be most appropriately placed in section 9 of the princial Ordinance which deals with the question of the value of the estate for estate duty purposes generally.

12. Section 7 of this Ordinance repeals section 10 of the principal Ordinance and substitutes a new section. The new section consists partly of the present provisions of the old section, partly of those provisions altered, and party of new matter.

13. The new section 10 (1) applies the simple procedure of the Crown Remedies Ordinance, 1875, Ordinance No. 6 of 1875, to the recovery of esta'e duty, interest on estate duty, and any fines, penalties or forfeitures provided by the Ordinance. This proe, dure is already by the parti- cular provisions of sections 18 (1), 19 (3) and 20 (2), applied to the recovery of penalties, and is by section 13 (2) applied to the recovery of the treble duty payable on a late further affidavit. These particular provisions are being repealed by the present Ordinance.

14. The new section 10 (2) enables a judge in special circumstances to make an order dispensing with personal service of process and to give directions as to substituted service or as to notice of proceedings by posting copies of the process to addresses within or without the jurisdiction of the Court. The sub-section is founded partly on rule 3 of the Exchequer Rules, 1860, and crystallizes to some extent the old jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (illus- trated by the case of Hobhouse v. Courtney 10 L.J.N.S. Ch. 377 and the cases cited therein) which was transferred to the Supreme Court of the Colony by Ordinance No. 3 of 1873. The case of Western Suburban etc., Society v. Ruckledge, 1905 II Ch. 472, affords an example of an order for service by posting a letter to an address abroad. The provisious of sections 37 and 38 of the Crown Suits Act, 1865, dealing with revenue cases against persons resident out of the jurisdiction of the Exchequer are not in force in the Colony.

15. The new section 10 (3) gives power to the court to appoint a receiver, or order a sale, in the case of any proceeding for the recovery of estate duty. This sub- section is taken from section 8 (13) of the Finance Act, 1894.

16. The new section 10 (4) replaces the old section 10 (1), and is made to correspond more closely with section 8 (3) of the Finance Act, 1894.

17. The new section 10 (5) replaces the old section 10 (2), except that the proviso exempting bona fide purchasers for value without notice is transferred to a separate sub- section by itself, i.e., sub-section (7), and its place is taken by a proviso relieving persons who act merely as agents in the management of property. This new provision is taken from the corresponding sub-section in the Finance Act, 1894, i.e., section 8 (4).

128

66

18. The new section 10 (6) replaces the old section 10 (3), which is extended by the deletion of the words "with regard to the premises" and relating to the estate in respect of which estate duty is leviable on the death of the deceased" and the substitution for the latter of the words "the inspection

...reward" which are

taken from section 59 (1) of the Fijian Death and Gift Duties Ordinance No. 10 of 1920. The Commissioner is given power also to require verification on oath of state- ments made to him by persons summoned before him, and the penalty is transferred to a general sub-section, i.e., sub-section (14).

19. The new section 10 (7) has already been referred to above. It is merely transferred from another part of

the section.

20. The new section 10 (8) replaces with slight altera- tion the old section 8 (5)

21. The old section 10 (4) disappears as it is considered unnecessary.

22. The old sections 10 (6) and 10 (7) have been transferred to a more appropriate place in section 9 of the principal Ordinance by section 6 of this Ordinance.

23. The new section 10 (9) replaces the old section 10 (8) with slight verbal differences. It also provides that if the amount of duty ascertained by the Commis- sioner exceeds the amount already paid the accountable person shall forthwith pay the balance.

24. The new sub-sections (1 ) (11) and (12) of section 10 revise and replace the old sub-sections (1) and (2) of section 13 and deal separately with the cases of non dis- closure discovered respectively by the accountable person and by the Commissioner.

25. The new section 10 (13) replaces the old section 10 (9).

26. The new section 10 (14) is a general penalty sub- section applying to the whole section. It is based on section 8 (6) of the Finance Act, 1894, except that it provides for a penalty of $1,000 or a penalty equal to the amount of duty at the rate set out in the Schedule instead of £100 or a sum equal to double the amount of the duty.

27. Section 12 of the principal Ordinance provides for the payment of estate duty at three times "the customary

where an affidavit or account is "for the first time lodged after a year from the death, or (in the case of a person dying outside the Colony) after a year "from the date of the grant of administration outside the Colony, unless the person lodging the affidavit or account ean prove that

28. Section 8 of this Ordinance substitutes a section 12 which contains the following features :--

with

The

new

(a) The treble rate is applied to all late accounts, unless the accountable person can prove that he used all reasonable diligence to ascertain the estate and to deliver an account upon its dis-

covery.

(6) In the case of "resealing" the period of delay

allowed is 18 months from death.

(c) The rates in the Schedule are specifically referred

to.

129

(d) It is provided that for the purposes of the section no account is to be deemed to have been delivered until the apparent duty has been paid, unless the Commissioner has allowed payment to be post- poned.

29. Section 9 of this Ordinance repeals section 13 of the principal Ordinance. The various sub-sections of that section are being dealt with as follows:-

(a) Sub-section (1) is replaced by the new section 10

(10).

(b) Sub-section (2) is replaced by the new sub-sec-

tious 10 (11) and 10 (12).

(c) Sub-section (3) is not being reproduced.

Its

effect is not very clear, but it seems to be an undesirable limitation both on the right of appeal and on the right of demanding additional duty. (d) Sub-section (4) reappears in the new section 9 (5), except that the mistaken provision for ascer- taining the value of an interest in expectancy is omitted: see paragraph 8 above.

(7) Sub-section (5) disappears.

The repealed section is replaced by a new one making it obligatory for executors to attend to the registration of the transfer into his own name of unregistered shares belonging to a deceased persou. This will help to make it clear from the share register that a transfer from A to D was through C the executor of B the unregistered owner of the shares,

30. Section 10 of this Ordinance amends section 16 of the principal Ordinance by the deletion of the words "by treasury warrant ". Refunds are not in fact made by treasury warrant but by cheque.

31. Section 11 of this Ordinance repeals section 18 of the principal Ordinance and substitutes a new section 18 which differs from the old section 18 in the following points:-

(a) It is provided that the Schedule of property to be annexed to the probate or letters of adminis- tration is to be under the hand of the Commis- sioner.

(b) The penalty under the present section 18 for dealing with property of the deceased not con- tained in the above Schedule is only $500. The new section 18 makes the penalty $1,000 or three times the single rate duty payable upon the estate dealt with, at the election of the Commis- sioner. The person in question will, however, be relieved from liability if he can show any lawful authority or reasonable excuse.

32. Section 12 of this Ordinance repeals section 19 of the principal Ordinance and substitutes a new section 19 which differs from the old section 19 in the following points: -

(a) The new section 19 deals separately with the two distinct cases of intermeddling by a person who is entitled to apply for administration and that of intermeddling by a person who is not entitled to apply for administration. In the case of a person who is not entitled to apply for admin- istration the liability to penalty arises immedi- ately upon intermeddling. In the case of a person who is entitled to apply for administration the liability for penalty arises in two cases, i.e., (1) when the person in question intermeddles within six months after the death and also fails

or

130

within that period to deliver accounts to the Commissioner, and (2) when the person in ques- tion intermeddles after six months after the death without having within that period furnished accounts to the Commissioner.

(b) It is made clear by reference to the Schedule that the penalty of three times the amount of the duty is to be at three times the single rate of duty and that penalty and duty together shall not exceed four times that rate.

(c) In dealing with the case of persons entitled to apply for administration the two classes are dis- tinguished of (1) the executor appointed by the will and (2) the person entitled in priority to the administration.

(d) Sub-section (2) of the present section 19 which allows intermeddling for the purpose of the maintenance of the family of the deceased pro- vided that the Commissioner has been notified of the death, opeus the door to evasion. This sub-section is replaced by the new sub-section (4) which gives the Commissioner power to allow intermeddling for the purpose in question or for the purpose of the burial of the deceased and also for the purpose of preparing accounts. (e) The

new sub-section (5) provides that the recovery of any penalties provided by this section shall be without prejudice to the recovery of the estate duty.

(f) The ne sub-section (6) provides that no account is to be deemed to have been delivered until the apparent duty has been paid, unless the Com- missioner has allowed postponement of payment. (g) The present section 19 (3) disappears because the question of recovery of penalties is dealt with generally in the new section 10 (1). (h) The present section 19 (4) is omitted because the whole point of the section is to prevent inter- meddling without furnishing accounts to the Commissioner, and the question of obtaining probate or administration is irrelevant.

The case

of persons who are entitled to administer without furnishing accounts is sufficiently dealt with by the reference to lawful authority or reasonable excuse in the new section 19 (1).

""

33. Section 13 of this Ordinance amends section 20 of the principal Ordinance in two minor points One is that the word "penalty' is substituted for the word " sum

debt" in order to make the general provisions rela- ting to penalties apply clearly to the penalties which are called sums and debts in the present section 20. The other is that sub-section (2), which provides for the reco- very of the $500 penalty is omitted because the matter is dealt with generally in the new section 10 (1).

34. Section 14 of this Ordinance repeals section 22 of the principal Ordinance which gave the Commissioner or the Court power to reduce penalties and substitutes a new section giving the Commissioner discretionary power to reduce penalties and to reduce to single rate any duty at a higher rate chargeable under the Ordinance.

35. Section 15 of this Ordinance inserts five new sec- tions in the principal Orduance. The new section 24 enacts 2 of 3 sub-sections of a section which was recom- mended by the Stamp Duties Committee which reported in August, 1929. It has not been thought practicable to enact the other sub-section which appeared in Annexe B of the report in question and which cast on the personal representative the onus of proving a negative. It is intended to make registration prim facie evidence of beneficial ownership at death in the case of shares on share registers which are by law required to be kept within the Colony.

131

36. The new section 25 provides that if estate duty has already been paid in respect of any settled property since the date of the settlement, upon the death of one of the parties to a marriage, no estate duty shall be payable ou the death of the other party to the marriage unless such person was at the time of his or her death, or had been at any time during the continuance of the settlement, com- petent to dispose of such property. This provision is adapted from section 5 (2) of the Finauce Act, 1894, as amended by section 14 of the Finance Act, 1914. The special definition in sub-section (2) of the term settlement is inserted because in the principal Ordinance generally that term excludes testamentary dispositions.

37. The new section 26 gives relief in certain cases of quick succession, the duty on the second death being reduced in accordance with a scale which varies according to the period elapsing between the two deaths.

This pro- vision is taken from section 15 of the Finance Act, 1914.

38. The new section 27 gives relief in the case of estates which just pass over one of the steps in the scale of estate duties. The effect of the section can best be seen from examples. For example, an estate is valued at $10,500. At the new rate of 3% (the old rate is the same) the estate duty would be $315. Under this section, however, duty can be paid at 2% on $10,000, i.e., $200, with an addition of $50, ie., $250 in all instead of $315. Again, an estate is assessed in $100,500. At the new rate of 6% the estate duty would be $6,030. Under this section duty can be paid at 5% on $100,000, i.e., $5,000, with an addition of $500, i.e., $5,500 in all instead of $6,030. Of course if an estate passes over the step in the scale by more than a small amount it would not pay the estate to claim the relief. This provision is taken from section 13 (1) of the Finance Act, 1914.

39. The new section 23 gives relief in the case of certain interests which do not fall into possession. It provides that in the case of settled property, where the interest of any person fails by reason of his death to become an interest in possession, and subsequent limita- tions continue to subsist, the property shall not be deemed to pass on his death. This provision is taken from section 5 (3) of the Finance Act, 1894. As in the case of the new section 25, the terms settlement and settled property are specially defined for the purpose of this section. The reason is the same as that given in paragraph 35 above.

The

40. Section 16 of this Ordinance repeals the Schedules to the principal Ordinance, The First Schedule was repealed by the Law Revision Ordinance, 1924. Second Schedule is replaced by a new Schedule in which the scale of graduated rates is revised and increased. The repeal of the Second Schedule and the substitution of the new Schedule is made subject to a proviso derived from section 29 of the Finance Act, 1919, relating to the sale or mortgage of interests in expectancy before the com- mencement of this amending Ordinance. The Third Schedule disappears with the omission of the present section 13 (5) and the alteration of the present section 13 (4). This matter is referred to in paragraphs 8, 9 and 29 above.

Objects and Reasons.

1. The object of this Ordinance is to amend the Estate Duty Ordinance, Ordinance No. 16 of 1915, in various ways suggested by the practical working of the Ordinance. Some of the amendments now proposed are intended to bring the Ordinance into closer agreement with the Finance Act, 1894, 57 & 58 Vict. c. 30. Others are designed to prevent evasion of estate duty.

2. When the principal Ordinance, which came into force on the 1st January, 1916, was enacted it contained a provision that in the case of persons dying before the commencement of the Ordinance the probate duty formerly payable under the Stamp Ordinance, 1901, should continue to be payable instead of the new estate duty. When the Stamp Ordinance, 1901, was replaced by the Stamp Ordi- nauce, 1921, the above temporary and limited provision was still further limited by a provision that estate duty and not probate duty should be payable in the case of any estate to which representation was applied for after the commencement of the new Stamp Ordinance, whatever the date of the death of the deceased. In the revision of the Ordinances in 1924, the effect of the latter provision was incorporated in section 2 of the Estate Duty Ordi- nance in such a way, through an oversight, as to make the latter Ordinance applicab'e only to cases where application for representation is made after the 1st May, 1921. ut Estate Duty is a matter which attaches on the death of a person, wholly irrespective of representation being taken out to his estate. Section 2 therefore amends section 2 of the principal Ordinance by making the Ordi- nance applicable to all deaths after 1st January, 1916, and also to deaths before that date if representation has not been applied for before the 2nd May, 1921.

وو

"5 66

3. Section 3 (1) of this Ordinance amends section 3 (1) of the principal Ordinance by defining the expressions Account", " Affidavit for the Commissioner 'applica- ble Schedule" and "Estate" and by substituting revised definitions for the definitions of " Commissioner ", "Pre- scribed" and " Property". In the definition of the term "Commissioner a reference to the Treasurer is inserted in place of the former reference to the Registrar of the Supreme Court, because the Treasurer was substituted for the Registrar as Commissioner by order of the Governor published in the Gazette of the 11th January, 1924. The definition of the term "Com nissioner " is also altered so as to include any Deputy Commissioner of Estate Duty. This is done in order to give such Deputy Commissioner the powers of the Commissioner.

Section 3 (2) amends section 5 of the principal Ordi- nance, which deals with property passing on death, by adding a paragraph in respect of specialty debts derived from section 39 of the Revenue Act, 1862.

4. Section 6 of the principal Ordinance contains a list of properties in respect of which estate duty is not payable. After the principal Ordinance was passed, though before it came into operation an addition had been made by legislation (Ordinance No. 31 of 1915, s. 7) to the classes of property not chargeable with estate duty, i.e., shares in China companies. Section 4 of this Ordinance now adds that class to the list in section 6 of the principal Ordinance.

5. Section 5 of this Ordinance amends section 8 of the principal Ordinance so as to make it correspond more closely with the language of section 6 (2) and (4) of the Finance Act, 1894, because it is considered desirable to make it clear that duty is to be paid on delivery of the affidavit and account. Section 8 (6) is amended by the deletion of words which were deleted in 1896 from section 6 (6) of the Act.

¡

-

171.

6. Section 9 (3) of the principal Ordinance is considered to be defective. It provides that "No allowance shall be made for debts due from the deceased to persons resi- dent out of the Colony unless contracted to be paid in the Colony, or charged on property situate within the Colony". In the new sub-section (3) substituted by section 6 of this Ordinance the provision is made for allowance in respect of debts contracted in the Colony to persons ordinarily resident therein.

7. Paragraph (b) of section 6 of this Ordinance adds four sub-sections to section 9 of the principal Ordinance, ¿,c., sub-sections (5), (6), (7) and (8).

8. The new sub-section (5) is intended to replace section 13 (4) of the principal Ordinance, where the subject matter of the sub-section is not so relevantly placed. That sub- section, however, will now appear in section 9 of the principal Ordinance in a different form. It was based on section 7 (6) of the Finance Act, 1894, but it was adapted in a form which has proved to be mistaken and which has given rise to difficulty and even to litigation. It will now appear as section 9 (5) of the principal Ordinance in the exact words of the sub-section in the English Act.

9. The new sub-section (6) of section 9 will replace the former section 13 (5) of the principal Ordinance, That sub-section, again, has proved unworkable in practice. The new section 9 (6) is taken verbatim from section 7 (7) of the Finance Act. 1894. The wording of the sub-section is awkward and rather artificial, but it has received judicial interpretation in England and the meaning now appears to be clear: see for example, A. G. v. Coole (1921) 3 K. B. 607. It has therefore been decided to adhere to the wording of the English sub-section, a practice which is generally desirable.

10. The new sub-section (7) of section 9 of the principal Ordinance replaces section 10 (6) of that Ordinance. It is practically a copy of section 7 (8) of the Finance Act, 1894. The new sub-section (8) replaces the former section 10 (7), and is practically a copy of section 7 (9) of the Finance Act, 1894.

11. The above four new sub-sectious seem to be most appropriately placed in section 9 of the princial Ordinance which deals with the question of the value of the estate for estate duty purposes generally.

12. Section 7 of this Ordinance repeals section 10 of the principal Ordinance and substitutes a new section. The new section consists partly of the present provisions of the old section, partly of those provisions altered, and party of new matter.

13. The new section 10 (1) applies the simple procedure of the Crown Remedies Ordinance, 1875, Ordinance No. 6 of 1875, to the recovery of estate duty, interest on estate duty, and any fines, penalties or forfeitures provided by the Ordinance. This procedure is already by the parti- cular provisions of sections 18 (1), 19 (3) and 20 (2), applied to the recovery of penalties, and is by section 13 (2) applied to the recovery of the treble duty payable on a late further affidavit. These particular provisions are being repealed by the present Ordinance.

14. The new section 10 (2) enables a judge in special circumstances to make an order dispensing with personal service of process and to give directions as to substituted service or as to notice of proceedings by posting copies of the process to addresses within or without the jurisdiction of the Court. The sub-section is founded partly on rule 3 of the Exchequer Rules, 1860, and crystallizes to some extent the old jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (illus- trated by the case of Hobhouse v. Courtney 10 L.J.N.S. Ch. 377 and the cases cited therein) which was transferred

172

to the Supreme Court of the Colony by Ordinance No. 3 of 1873. The case of Western Suburban etc., Society v. Ruckledge, 1905 II Ch. 472, affords an example of an order for service by posting a letter to an address abroad. The provisions of sections 37 and 38 of the Crown Suits Act, 1865, dealing with revenue cases against persons resident out of the jurisdiction of the Exchequer are not in force in the Colony.

15. The new section 10 (3) gives power to the court to appoint a receiver, or order a sale, in the case of any proceeding for the recovery of estate duty. This sub- section is taken from section 8 (13) of the Finance Act, 1894.

16. The new section 10 (4) replaces the old section 10 (1), and is made to correspond more closely with section 8 (3) of the Finance Act, 1894.

17. The new section 10 (5) replaces the old section 10 (2), except that the proviso exempting bona fide purchasers for value without notice is transferred to a separate sub- section by itself, i.e., sub-section (7), and its place is taken by a proviso relieving persons who act merely as agents in the management of property. This new provision is taken from the corresponding sub-section in the Finance Act, 1894, i.e., section 8 (4).

18. The new section 10 (6) replaces the old section 10 (3), which is extended by the deletion of the words "with regard to the premises and "relating to the estate in respect of which estate duty is leviable on the death of the deceased and the substitution for the latter of the words "the inspection

20. The new section 10 (8) replaces with slight altera- tion the old section 8 (5).

21. The old section 10 (4) disappears as it is considered unnecessary.

22. The old sections 10 (6) and 10 (7) have been transferred to a more appropriate place in section 9 of the principal Ordinance by section 6 of this Ordinance.

23. The new section 10 (9) replaces the old section 10 (8) with slight verbal differences. It also provides that if the amount of duty ascertained by the Commis- sioner exceeds the amount already paid the accountable person shall forthwith pay the balance.

24. The new sub-sections (1) (11) and (12) of section 10 revise and replace the old sub-sections (1) and (2) of section 13 and deal separately with the cases of non dis- closure discovered respectively by the accountable person and by the Commissioner.

25. The new section 10 (13) replaces the old section 10 (9).

26. The new section 10 (14) is a general penalty sub- section applying to the whole section. It is based on section 8 (6) of the Finance Act, 1894. except that it provides for a penalty of $1,000 or a penalty equal to the amount of duty at the rate set out in the Schedule instead of £100 or a sum equal to double the amount of the duty.

The

28. Section 8 of this Ordinance substitutes a new section 12 which contains the following features :-

(a) The treble rate is applied to all late accounts, unless the accountable person can prove that he used all reasonable diligence to ascertain the estate and to deliver an account upon its dis-

covery.

(b) In the case of "resealing the period of delay

allowed is 18 months from death.

(e) The rates in the applicable Schedule are speci-

fically referred to.

(d) It is provided that for the purposes of the section no account is to be deemed to have been delivered until the apparent duty has been paid, unless the Commissioner has allowed payment to be post- poned.

29. Section 9 of this Ordinance repeals section 13 of the principal Ordinance. The various sub-sections of that section are being dealt with as follows:-

(a) Sub-section (1) is replaced by the new section 10

(10).

(b) Sub-section (2) is replaced by the new sub-sec-

The repealed section is replaced by a new one making it obligatory for executors to attend to the registration of the transfer into his own name of unregistered shares belonging to a deceased person. This will help to make it clear from the share register that a transfer from A to D was through C the executor of B the unregistered owner of the shares.

30. Section 10 of this Ordinance amends section 16 of the principal Ordinance by the deletion of the words "by treasury warrant". Refunds are not in fact made by treasury warrant but by cheque,

31. Section 11 of this Ordinance repeals section 18 of the principal Ordinance and substitutes a new section 18 which differs from the old section 18 in the following points :-

(a) It is provided that the Schedule of property to be annexed to the probate or letters of adminis- tration is to be under the hand of the Commis- sioner.

174

(b) The penalty under the prescut section 18 for dealing with property of the deceased not con- tained in the above Schedule is only $500. The new section 18 makes the penalty $1,000 or three times the single rate duty payable upon the estate dealt with, at the election of the Commis- sioner. The person in question will, however, be relieved from liability if he can show any lawful authority or reasonable excuse.

(c) A proviso secures that the disclosure of a trust in the schedule of property shall not constitute notice against a purchaser or mortgagee for value.

32. Section 12 of this Ordinance repeals section 19 of the principal Ordinance and substitutes a new section 19 which differs from the old section 19 in the following points :-

(a) The new section 19 deals separately with the two distinct cases of intermeddling by a person who is entitled to apply for administration and that of intermeddling by a person who is not entitled to apply for administration. In the case of a person who is not entitled to apply for admin- istration the liability to penalty arises immedi- ately upon intermeddling. In the case of a person who is entitled to apply for administration the liability for penalty arises in two cases, ¿.e., (1) when the person in question intermeddles within six months after the death and also fails within that period to deliver accounts to the Commissioner, and (2) when the person in ques- tion intermeddles after six months after the death without having within that period furnished accounts to the Commissioner.

(b) It is made clear by reference to the applicable Schedule that the penalty of three times the amount of the duty is to be at three times the single rate of duty and that penalty and duty together shall not exceed four times that rate.

(c) In dealing with the case of persons entitled to apply for administration the two classes are dis- tinguished of (1) the executor appointed by the will and (2) the person entitled in priority to the administration.

(d) Sub-section (2) of the present section 19 which allows intermeddling for the purpose of the maintenance of the family of the deceased pro- vided that the Commissioner has been notified of the death, opens the door to evasion. This sub-section is replaced by the new sub-section (4) which gives the Commissioner power to allow intermeddling for the purpose in question or for the purpose of the burial of the deceased and also for the purpose of preparing accounts. (e) The new sub-section (5) provides that the recovery of any penalties provided by this section shall be without prejudice to the recovery of the estate duty.

(f) The new sub-section (6) provides that no account is to be deemed to have been delivered until the apparent duty has been paid, unless the Com- missioner has allowed postponement of payment. (g) The present section 19 (3) disappears because the question of recovery of penalties is dealt with generally in the new section 10 (1). (h) The present section 19 (4) is omitted because the whole point of the section is to prevent inter- meddling without furnishing accounts to the Commissioner, and the question of obtaining probate or administration is irrelevant. The case of persons who are entitled to administer without furnishing accounts is sufficiently dealt with by

33. Section 13 of this Ordinance amends section 20 of the principal Ordinance in two minor points. One is that the word " penalty " is substituted for the word or "debt" in order to make the general provisions rela- ting to penalties apply clearly to the penalties which are called sums and debts in the present section 20. The other is that sub-section (2), which provides for the reco- very of the $500 penalty is omitted because the matter is dealt with generally in the new section 10 (1).

34. Section 14 of this Ordinance repeals section 22 of the principal Ordinance which gave the Commissioner or the Court power to reduce penalties and substitutes a new section giving the Commissioner discretionary power to reduce penalties and to reduce to single rate any duty at a higher rate chargeable under the Ordinance.

35. Section 15 of this Ordinance inserts five new sec- tions in the principal Ordinance. The new section 24 enacts 2 of 3 sub-sections of a section which was recom- mended by the Stamp Duties Committee which reported in August, 1929. It has not been thought practicable to enact the other sub-section which appeared in Annexe B of the report in question and which cast on the personal It is representative the onus of proving a negative. intended to make registration prima facie evidence of Leneficial ownership at death in the case of shares on share registers which are by law required to be kept within the Colony.

36. The new section 25 provides that if estate duty has already been paid in respect of any settled property since the date of the settlement, upon the death of one of the parties to a marriage, no estate duty shall be payable on the death of the other party to the marriage unless such person was at the time of his or her death, or had been at any time during the continuance of the settlement, com- petent to dispose of such property. This provision is a dapted from section 5 (2) of the Finance Act, 1894, as The a mended by section 14 of the Finance Act, 1914.

s pecial definition in sub-section (2) of the term settlement is inserted because in the principal Ordinance generally that term excludes testamentary dispositions.

37. The new section 26 gives relief in certain cases of quick succession, the duty on the second death being reduced in accordance with a scale which varies according This pro- to the period elapsing between the two deaths.

vision is taken from section 15 of the Finance Act, 1914.

38. The new section 27 gives relief in the case of estates which just pass over one of the steps in the scale of estate duties. The effect of the section can best be seen from examples. For example, an estate is valued at $10,500. At the new rate of 3% (the old rate is the same) the estate duty would be $315. Under this section, however, duty can be paid at 2% on $10,000, i.e., $200, with an addition of $50, i e., $250 in all instead of $315. Again, an estate is assessed in $100,500. At the new rate of 6% the estate duty would be $6,030. Under this section duty can be paid at 5% on $100,000, i.e., $5,000, with an addition of $500, i.e., $5,500 in all instead of $6,030. Of course if an estate passes over the step in the scale by more than a small amount it would not pay the estate to claim the relief. This provision is taken from section 13 (1) of the Finance Act, 1914.

9. The new section 28 gives relief in the case of certain interests which do not fall into possession. It provides that in the case of settled property, where the interest of any person fails by reason of his death to become an interest in possession, and subsequent limita- tions continue to subsist, the property shall not be deemed

176

to pass on his death. This provision is taken from section 5 (3) of the Finance Act, 1894. As in the case of the new section 25, the terms settlement and settled property are specially defined for the purpose of this section. The reason is the same as that given in paragraph 35 above.

40. Section 16 of this Ordinance provides a new scale of rates for persons dying after the commencement of this Ordinance and is based on section 29 of the Finance Act, 1919. The Third Schedule, with the omission of the present section 13 (5) and the alteration of the present section 13 (4), is no longer applicable to the purpose for which it was originally intended, but the table it contains is retained for use if desired in the calculation of rever- sionary interests.

Repeal of paragraphs (a) (b) and (c) in s. 82 (5) of Ord- inance No. 7 of 1891.

An Ordinance to amend further the law relating

to Larceny.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Larceny Amendment Ordinance, 1930.

2. The following heading and section are inserted. in the Larceny Ordinance, 1865, immediately after section 78 thereof:

Obtaining credit by fraud, etc.

32 & 33 Vict. c. 62, s. 13. Ordinance No. 7 of 1891, s. 82 (5).

16 & 17 Geo. 5, c. 7, s. 6.

Obtaining Credit by Fraud, etc.

78A. Any person shall in each of the cases following be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall upon conviction be liable to im- prisonment for any term not exceeding one year, that is to say:

(a) if in incurring any debt or liability he has obtained credit under false pretences or by means

of any other fraud; or

(b) if with intent to defraud his credi- tors or any of them, he has made or caused to be made any gift or transfer of, or charge on,

his pro- perty; or

(c) if with intent to defraud his credi- tors, he has concealed or removed any part of his property since, or within two months before, the date of any unsatisfied judgment or order for payment of money ob- tained against him; or

(d) if with intent to defraud his creditors or any of them, he has caused or connived at the levying of any execution against his pro- perty.

3. Paragraphs (a) (b) and (c) in section 82 (5) of the Bankruptcy Ordinance, 1891, are repealed.

Objects and Reasons.

Section 82 (5) (a), (b) and (c) of the Bankruptcy Ordinance, 1891, Ordinance No. 7 of 1891, create three offences, which were adopted from the Debtors Act, 1869, 32 and 33 Vict. c. 62, s. 13. Though these provisions appear in the Bankruptcy Ordinance, the offences, unlike many other offences referred to in the Bankruptcy Ordinance, can be committed by

259

persons who have neither been adjudicated bankrupt nor had a receiving order made against them. A new Bankruptcy Ordinance, based on the English Bank- ruptcy Acts of 1914 and 1926, is in course of pre- paration, and the offences referred to in that Örd- inance will be confined to persons

persons against whom bankruptcy proceedings are taken. It is therefore necessary to provide elsewhere for the continuance of the general provisions of section 82 (5) (a), (b) and (e) of the present Bankruptcy Ordinance. This is done accordingly by the repeal of the misplaced paragraphs and by the insertion of a new section in the Larceny Ordinance, 1865. Paragraph (d) in the new section is derived from section 6 of the Bank- ruptcy (Amendment) Act, 1926; but is not limited, as that section is, to the case of persons who have been adjudged bankrupt or in respect of whose estates receiving orders have been made.

Ordinance No. 3 of 1890, s. 85 (7).

264

Objects and Reasons.

1. The object of this Ordinance is to amend the prin- cipal Ordinance (No. 25 of 1917) by reverting to the arrangement adopted in the case of the previous principal Ordinance (No. 9 of 1912), under which the provisions relating to deportation orders against British subjects were dealt with in a section separate from that which dealt with the deportation of aliens and to introduce special safe- guards in the case of British deportations. This Ordi- nance also amends the procedure in certain details as the result of experience acquired in practice.

2. Section 2 of this Ordinance repeals sections 3 and 4 of the principal Ordinance and substitutes new sections 3, 3A, 4, 4A, 4B and 4C. Of these the new section (1) (a) authorises the issue of summary orders against alien bani- shees from other parts of the Empire. Sections 8, 9, 10 and 12 (3) of the principal Ordinance prohibited the resi- dence here of banishees from the Straits Settlements, and Malay States and Borneo, and dealt with the penalties to be imposed and the evidence to be adduced if they were found here. For some years it has been found impracti- cable to impose these penalties. It is moreover illogical to limit the exclusion of alien deportees to those deported only from the places named. It seems desirable therefore to abolish altogether the automatic exclusion and to make provision for the issue of local summary orders if and whenever it is considered desirable to get rid of the alien deportees from other parts of the Empire.

3. The new sections 3 (1) (b) and (c) are derived res- pectively from the old sections 3 (1) (a) and (b) and (2). Provision similar to the latter is also to be found in section 12 (6) (c) of the Aliens Order, 1920, made under the Aliens Restriction Acts, 1914 and 1919. The new section 3 (1) (c) applies only to special cases which must be reported to the Secretary of State under section 14 of the principal Ordinance as amended by section 7 of this Ordinance.

4. The new section 3 (2) is practically a re-enactment of section 4 (1) and (11) of the principal Ordinance but limits it to aliens. The new section 3 (3) provides for the use in the case of alien deportations of the form of order authorised by section 3 of the amending Ordinance No. 34 of 1929.

5. The new section 3A (1) (2) (3) (5) (7) (8) and (9) is practically a re-enactment of section 4 (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (10) and (12) of the principal Ordinance. save that it has been found necessary to extend the time authorised by the Detention Warrant to fourteen days.

6. The provisions of the new section 3A (4) and (6), though not re-enactments of any express provisions of the principal Ordinance, merely enact the practice which obtains and which seems to be required by the language of sub-section 4 (10) (3A (8) in this Ordinance) and of Form No. 3 in the Schedule to the principal Ordinance.

7. The new section 3B (1) authorises detention where necessary in cases where the summary procedure is adopted. The new section 3B (2) is derived from the old section 4 (9) and authorises the further detention of persons already in custody for periods of seven days at a time where such detention is necessary to complete the inquiry or proceedings. The period of four days hitherto authorised has been found insufficient.

8. The new section 4 (1) is practically a re-enactment of section 4 (13) and (14) of the principal Ordinance. Paragraph (e) of the sub-section has been extended so as to include mandated territory.

265

9. Sub-sections (2) and (3) of the new section 4 insist on long procedure in the presence of a judge in chambers and a report from the judge as to whether or not the allegations are in his opinion well founded in the case of the deportation of British subjects.

10. The new sections 4A and 4B are with slight v erba changes re-enactments of section 4 (2) and (3) of the principal Ordinance. The new section 4C is suggested by section 12 (6) of the Aliens Order and authorises courts and magistrates to recommend aliens for banish-

ment.

11. Sections 3, 4, 5 and 6 of this Ordinance effect the repeals of the provisions relating to the exclusion of bani- shees from certain parts of the Empire referred to in para- graph 2 of this Memorandum.

12. Section 7 of this Ordinance makes section 14 of the principal Ordinance applicable to the new sections introduced by this Ordinance and provides for the trans- mission of full particulars to the Secretary of State in certain cases.

13. Section 8 of this Ordinance amends the forms of detention warrant so as to extend the period of detention to correspond with the periods authorised by the new section 3 (3) and 3A (1) and amends Form No. 1 so as to correspond with the terms of the sub-section under which it is made. It amends the condition on the recognizance of bail so as to provide for surrender into police custody instead of surrender at the House of Detention. It also amends the method of completing the period which is to elapse before a deportee must leave the Colony.

14. Section 9 of this Ordinance makes a reference in section 7 of the principal Ordinance as amended by Ordi- nance No 34 of 1929 applicable to a new section intro- duced by this Ordinance.

15. Section 10 of this Ordinance repeals a sub-section of section 85 of the Magistrates Ordinance, 1890, which authorised the flogging of returned banishees, as this punishment is not considered suitable.

Repeal of Ordinance No. 3 of

1890, 8. 85 (7).

10. Sub-section (7) of section 85 of the Magistrate Ordinance, 1890, is repealed.

Objects and Reasons.

1. The object of this Ordinance is to amend the prin- cipal Ordinance (No. 25 of 1917) by reverting to the arrangement adopted in the case of the previous principal Ordinance (No. 9 of 1912), under which the provisions relating to deportation orders against British subjects were dealt with in a section separate from that which dealt with the deportation of aliens and to introduce special safe- guards in the case of British deportations. This Ordi- nance also amends the procedure in certain details as the result of experience acquired in practice.

2. Section 2 of this Ordinance repeals sections 3 and 4 of the principal Ordinance and substitutes new sections 3, 3A, 4, 4A, 4B and 4C. Of these the new section 3 (1) (a) authorises the issue of summary orders against alien bani-

289

shees from other parts of the Empire. Sections 8, 9, 10 and 12 (3) of the principal Ordinance prohibited the resi- dence here of banishees from the Straits Settlements, and Malay States and Borneo, and dealt with the penalties to be imposed and the evidence to be adduced if they were found here. For some years it has been found impracti cable to impose these penalties. It is moreover illogical to limit the exclusion of alien deportees to those deported only from the places named. It seems desirable therefore to abolish altogether the automatic exclusion and to make provision for the issue of local summary orders if and whenever it is considered desirable to get rid of the alien deportees from other parts of the Empire.

3. The new sections 3 (1) (b) and (c) are derived res- pectively from the old sections 3 (1) (a) and (b) and (2). Provision similar to the latter is also to be found in section 12 (6) (c) of the Aliens Order, 1920, made under the Aliens Restriction Acts, 1914 and 1919. The new section 3 (1) (c) applies only to special cases which must be reported to the Secretary of State under section 14 of the principal Ordinance as amended by section 7 of this Ordinance.

4. The new section 3 (2) is practically a re-enactment of section 4 (1) and (11) of the principal Ordinance but limits it to aliens. The new section 3 (3) provides for the use in the case of alien deportations of the form of order authorised by section 3 of the amending Ordinance No. 34 of 1929.

5. The new section 3A (1) (2) (3) (5) (7) (8) and (9) is practically a re-enactment of section 4 (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (10) and (12) of the principal Ordinance save that it has been found necessary to extend the time authorised by the Detention Warrant to fourteen days.

6. The provisions of the new section 3A (4) and (6), though not re-enactments of any express provisions of the principal Ordinance, merely enact the practice which obtains and which seems to be required by the language of sub-section 4 (10) (3A (8) in this Ordinance) and of Form No. 3 in the Schedule to the principal Ordinance.

7. The new section 3B (1) authorises detention where necessary in cases where the summary procedure is adopted. The new section 3B (2) is derived from the old section 4 (9) and authorises the further detention of persons already in custody for periods of seven days at a time where such detention is necessary to complete the inquiry or proceedings. The period of four days hitherto authorised has been found insufficient.

8. The new section 4 (1) is practically a re-enactment of section 4 (13) and (14) of the principal Ordinance. Paragraph (e) of the sub-section has been extended so as to include mandated territory.

9. Sub-sections (2) and (3) of the new section 4 insist on long procedure in the presence of a judge in chambers and a report from the judge as to whether or not the allegations are in his opinion well founded in the case of the deportation of British subjects.

10. The new sections 4A and 4B are with slight verbal changes re-enactments of section 4 (2) and (3) of the principal Ordinance. The new section 4C is suggested by section 12 (6) of the Aliens Order and authorises courts and magistrates to recommend aliens for banish-

ment.

11. Sections 3, 4, 5 and 6 of this Ordinance effect the repeals of the provisions relating to the exclusion of bani- shees from certain parts of the Empire referred to in para- graph 2 of this Memorandum.

290

12. Section 7 of this Ordinance makes section 14 of the principal Ordinance applicable to the new sections introduced by this Ordinance and provides for the trans- mission of full particulars to the Secretary of State in certain cases.

13. Section 8 of this Ordinance amends the forms of detention warrant so as to extend the period of detention to correspond with the periods authorised by the new section 3 (3) and 3A (1) and amends Form No. 1 so as to correspond with the terms of the sub-section under which it is made. It amends the condition on the recognizance of bail so as to provide for surrender into police custody It also instead of surrender at the House of Detention. amends the method of completing the period which is to elapse before a deportee must leave the Colony.

14. Section 9 of this Ordinance makes a reference in section 7 of the principal Ordinance as amended by Ordi- nance No 34 of 1929 applicable to a new section intro- duced by this Ordinance.

15. Section 10 of this Ordinance repeals a sub-section of section 85 of the Magistrates Ordinance, 1890, which authorised the flogging of returned banishees, as this punishment is not considered suitable.

An Ordinance to amend further the law relating

to Larceny.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Larceny Amendment Ordinance, 1930.

2. The following heading and section are inserted new s. 78A. in the Larceny Ordinance, 1865, immediately after

of any other fraud; or

(c) if with intent to defraud his credi- tors, he has concealed or removed any part of his property since, or within two months before, the date of any unsatisfied judgment or order for payment of money ob- tained against him; or

(d) if with intent to defraud his creditors or any of them, he has caused or connived at the levying of any execution against his pro- perty.

3. Paragraphs (a) (b) and (c) in section 82 (5) of Repeal of the Bankruptcy Ordinance, 1891, are repealed.

paragraphs (a) (b) and (c) in s. 82 (5) of Ord- inance No. 7 of 1891.

Objects and Reasons.

Section 82 (5) (a), (b) and (c) of the Bankruptcy Ordinance, 1891, Ordinance No. 7 of 1891, create three offences, which were adopted from the Debtors Act, 1869, 32 and 33 Vict. c. 62, s. 13. Though these provisions appear in the Bankruptcy Ordinance, the offences, unlike many other offences referred to in the Bankruptcy Ordinance, can be committed by persons who have neither been adjudicated bankrupt nor had a receiving order made against them. A new Bankruptcy Ordinance, based on the English Bank- ruptcy Acts of 1914 and 1926, is in course of pre- paration, and the offences referred to in that Ord- inance will be confined to persons against whom bankruptcy proceedings are taken. It is therefore necessary to provide elsewhere for the continuance of the general provisions of section 82 (5) (a), (b) and (c) of the present Bankruptcy Ordinance. This is done accordingly by the repeal of the misplaced paragraphs and by the insertion of a new section in the Larceny Ordinance, 1865. Paragraph (d) in the new section is derived from section 6 of the Bank- ruptcy (Amendment) Act, 1926; but is not limited, as that section is, to the case of persons who have been adjudged bankrupt or in respect of whose estates receiving orders have been made.

INTITULED

An Ordinance to amend the Legal Practitioners

Ordinance, 1871.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Legal Practi- tioners Amendment Ordinance, 1931.

2. Section 21 of the Legal Practitioners Ordinance, 1871, is amended by the deletion of the last seven lines thereof and by the substitution therefor of the words :-

"and such persons as have been admitted to practise as attorneys, solicitors, law agents or proctors in Great Britain or Ireland, to practise as solicitors in the court."

3. Section 2 of the Legal Practitioners Ordinance, 1871 is amended by the repeal of paragraph (e).

4. Section 22 of the Legal Practitioners Ordinance, 1871, is amended :-

(i) in the first line of paragraph (b) by the deletion. of the word "writer" and by the substitution therefor of the words "law agent ";

(i) in the third line of paragraph (b) by the deletion of the words "Hongkong Law Society" and by the substitution therefor of the words "Incor- porated Law Society of Hong Kong";

(iii) in the ninth line of paragraph (b) by the deletion of the words "or writers" and by the substitu- tion therefor of the words ", law agents or proctors";

""

(iv) in the tenth line of paragraph (b) by the deletion

of the words "at London, Dublin or Edinburgh and by the substitution therefor of the words "in Great Britain or Ireland";

(v) in the sixth line of the proviso to paragraph (b) by the deletion of the word "writer" and by the substitution therefor of the words "law agent".

""

5. Section 23 of the Legal Practitioners Ordinance, 1871, is amended by the deletion of the word "solicitor in the seventh line thereof and by the substitution therefor of the words "attorney, solicitor, law agent or proctor".

6. Section 23A of the Legal Practitioners Ordinance, 1871, is amended by the deletion of the words "Hongkong Law Society " in the first line and by the substitution therefor of the words "Incorporated Law Society of Hong Kong"

349

Objects and Reasons.

1. Under section 21 of the principal Ordinance the court is empowered to approve, admit, and enrol such persons as have been admitted as attorneys, solicitors, or writers in one of the courts of London, Dublin or Edin- burgh, or as proctors in any Ecclesiastical Court in England, to practise as solicitors in the court, and the expression "writer" is to be deemed to include

                   66 law agents' as defined in section 1 of the Act, 36 and 37 Victoria, chapter 63.

""

2. It is felt that the limitation to named cities is too restrictive. The rights and duties of Law Agents in Scotland are regulated by the Law Agents (Scotland) Acts, 1873 and 1891. The term "Law Agent" (equiva- lent to "solicitor in England) is defined by the former "Law Agents, shall include Writers to the Signet, Solicitors in the Supreme Court, Procurators in any Sheriff Court, and every person entitled to practise as an Agent in a court of Law in Scotland ".

Act as

3. The Secretary of State, in a recent circular Despatch (dated the 8th January, 1931) forwarding an extract from a memorandum of the Council of the Scottish Law Agents Society regarding admission to practise in the Colonies, states that he is sure that the intention is that the same privilege should be conferred upon solicitors in Scotland as upon solicitors in England and that therefore the reference, so far as Scotland is concerned, should be "law agents admitted to practise in Scotland and nothing

more.

4. Section 21 of the principal Ordinance is amended accordingly and sections 22 and 23 are made uniform therewith.

5. Sections 2, 22 and 23A of the principal Ordinance are also amended so as to give The Incorporated Law Society of Hong Kong its correct title.

SECOND SCHEDULE.

[s. 36.]

PROOF OF DEBTS.

Proof in ordinary cases.

1. Every creditor shall prove his debt as soon as may be after the making of a receiving order.

2. A debt may be proved by delivering or sending through the post in a prepaid letter to the Official Receiver, or, if a trustee has been appointed, to the trustee, an affidavit verifying the debt.

3. The affidavit may be made by the creditor him- -self, or by some person authorised by or on behalf of the creditor and having knowledge of the facts. If made by a person so authorised, it shall state his authority and means of knowledge.

4. The affidavit shall contain or refer to a statement of account showing the particulars of the debt, and shall specify the vouchers, if any, by which the same can be substantiated. The Official Receiver or trustee may at any time call for the production of the vouchers. The particulars shall be in the English language.

5. The affidavit shall state whether the creditor is or is not a secured creditor, and if it is found at any time that the affidavit made by or on behalf of a secured creditor has cmitted to state that he is a

428

secured creditor, the secured creditor shall surrender his security to the Official Receiver or trustee for the general benefit of the creditors unless the Court on application is satisfied that the omission has arisen from inadvertence, and in that case the Court may allow the affidavit to be amended upon such terms as to the repayment of any dividends or otherwise as the Court may consider to be just.

6. A creditor shall bear the cost of proving his debt, unless the court otherwise specially orders.

7. Every creditor who has lodged a proof shall b entitled to see and examine the proofs of other credi- tors before the first meeting, and at all reasonable times on payment of the prescribed fee.

8. A creditor proving his debt shall deduct there- from all trade discounts, but he shall not be com- pelled to deduct any discount, not exceeding five per cent on the net amount of his claim, which he may have agreed to allow for payment in cash.

Proof by secured Creditors.

9. If a secured creditor realises his security, he may prove for the balance due to him, after deduct- ing the net amount realised.

10. If a secured creditor surrenders his security to the Official Receiver or trustee for the general benefit of the creditors, he may prove for his whole debt.

11. If a secured creditor does not either realise or surrender his security, he shall, before ranking for dividend, state in his proof the particulars of his security, the date when it was given, and the value at which he assesses it, and shall be entitled to receive a dividend only in respect of the balance due to him after deducting the value so assessed.

12. (a) Where a security is so valued the trustee may at any time redeem it on payment to the creditor of the assessed value.

(b) If the trustee is dissatisfied with the value at which a security is assessed, he may require that the property comprised in any security so valued be offer- ed for sale at such times and on such terms and con- ditions as may be agreed on between the creditor and the trustee, or as, in default of such agreement, the court may direct. If the sale be by public auction the creditor, or the trustee on behalf of the estate, may bid or purchase.

(c) Provided that the creditor may at any time, by notice in writing, require the trustee to elect whether he will or will not exercise his power of redeeming the security or requiring it to be realised, and if the trustee does not, within six months after receiving the notice, signify in writing to the creditor his elec- tion to exercise the power, he shall not be entitled to exercise it; and the equity of redemption, or any other interest in the property comprised in the security which is vested in the trustee, shall vest in the creditor, and the amount of his debt shall be reduced by the amount at which the security has been valued.

13. Where a creditor has so valued his security, he may at any time amend the valuation and proof on showing to the satisfaction of the trustee, or the court, that the valuation and proof were made bond fide on a mistaken estimate, or that the security has diminished or increased in value since its previous valuation; but every such amendment shall be made at the cost of the creditor, and upon such terms as the court shall order, unless the trustee shall allow the amendment without application to the court.

429

14. Where a valuation has been amended in ac- cordance with the foregoing rule, the creditor shall forthwith repay any surplus dividend which he may have received in excess of that to which he would have been entitled on the amended valuation, or, as the case may be, shall be entitled to be paid out of any money, for the time being available for dividend, any dividend or share of dividend which he may have failed to receive by reason of the inaccuracy of the original valuation, before that money is made ap plicable to the payment of any future dividend, but he shall not be entitled to disturb the distribution of any dividend declared before the date of the amend- ment.

15. If a creditor after having valued his security subsequently realises it, or if it is realised under the provisions of rule 12, the net amount realised shali be substituted for the amount of any valuation pre- viously made by the creditor, and shall be treated in all respects as an amended valuation made by the creditor.

16. If a secured creditor does not comply with the foregoing rules he shall be excluded from all share in any dividend.

17. Subject to the provisions of rule 12, a creditor shall in no case receive more than twenty shillings in the pound, and interest as provided by this Ordinance.

Proof in respect of Distinct Contracts.

18. If a debtor was, at the date of the receiving order, liable in respect of distinct contracts as 3 member of two or more distinct firms, or as a sole contractor, and also as member of a firm, the circum- stance that the firms are in whole or in part com- posed of the same individuals, or that the sole contractor is also one of the joint contractors, shall not prevent proof in respect of the contracts, against the properties respectively liable on the contracts.

Periodical Payments.

19. When any rent or other payment falls due a stated periods, and the receiving order is made at any time other than one of those periods, the person en- titled to the rent or payment may prove for a propor- tionate part thereof up to the date of the order as if the rent or payment grew due from day to day.

20. On any debt or sum certain, payable at a cr tain time or otherwise, whereon interest is not reserved or agreed for, and which is overdue at the date of the receiving order and provable in ban ruptcy, the creditor may prove for interest at a rate not exceeding eight per cent per annum to the date of the order from the time when the debt or sum was payable, if the debt or sum is payable by virtue of a written instrument at a certain time, and if payable otherwise, then from the time when a demand in writing has been made giving the debtor notice that interest will be claimed from the date of the demand until the time of payment.

Interest.

Debt payable at a future time.

21. A creditor may prove for a debt not payable when the debtor committed an act of bankruptcy as if it were payable presently, and may receive divi- dends equally with the other creditors, deducting only thereout a rebate of interest at the rate of five pounds per cent per annum computed from the declara- tion of a dividend to the time when the debt would have become payable, according to the terms QU which it was contracted

430

Admission or Rejection of Proofs.

22. The trustee shall examine every proof and the grounds of the debt, and in writing admit or reject it, in whole or in part, or require further evidence in support of it.

If he rejects a proof he shall state in writing to the creditor the grounds of the rejection.

23. If the trustee thinks that a proof has been im- properly admitted, the court may, on the application. of the trustee, after notice to the creditor who made the proof, expunge the proof or reduce its amount.

24. If a creditor is dissatisfied with the decision of the trustee in respect of a proof, the court may, on the application of the creditor, reverse or vary the

decision. The Official Receiver or trustee shall not be personally liable for any costs in respect of the re- jection by him in whole or in part of any proof, unless it is proved to the satisfaction of the court that he has acted mala fide or with gross negligence.

25. The court may also expunge or reduce a proof upon the application of a creditor if the trustee declines to interfere in the matter, or, in the case of a composition or scheme, upon the application of the debtor.

26. The Official Receiver, before the appointment of a trustee, shall have all the powers of a trustee with respect to the examination, admission, and re- jection of proofs, and any act or decision of his in relation thereto shall be subject to the like appeal.

INTITULED

An Ordinance to amend further the Merchant

Shipping Ordinance, 1899.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Merchant Ship- ping Amendment (No. 2) Ordinance, 1931.

2. Section 4 (2) of the Merchant Shipping Ordinance, 1899, is amended by the addition of the following proviso at the end thereof :-

Provided further that it shall be lawful and shall be deemed always to have been lawful for the Governor in Council to grant special exemp- tion, which may be subject to any conditions he may impose, from all or any of the require- ments of this sub-section in the case of any ship regularly plying between the Colony and Dosing, Swabue (Shanmi), Ping Hoi, Ma Kung, Sha Yu Chung, Nam Ö, Tip Fuk, Tau or any other non-treaty port if the master and mate shall have passed a special examination before the Harbour Master and shall be approved by him for service on such voyages.

3. Section 44 of the Merchant Shipping Ordinance, 1899, is amended by the deletion of the words "a fee of one dollar" in the last line thereof and by the substitution therefor of the words "such fee as the Governor in Council shall prescribe ".

4. This Ordinance shall not come into operation unless and until the Governor notifies by Proclamation that it is His Majesty's pleasure not to disallow the same and there- after it shall come into operation upon such day as the Governor shall notify by the same or any other Proclama- tion.

Objects and Reasons.

It has been the practice to grant special exemption from the requirements of section 4 of the Merchant Ship- ping Ordinance, to certain small steamers holding Hong Kong passenger licences regularly plying between the Colony and places not open to general trade. The prac tice would seem to require an amendment of the section, which is relaxed by its proviso in the case of river steamers and trawlers and which was further relaxed in 1917, in the case of river steamers, for a period of 61⁄2 ycars, by Ordinance No. 13 of 1917 and Notification No. 432 of 1923. Section 2 of this Ordinance accordingly adds a third proviso to section 4 (2) of the principal Ordi- nance. Section 3 amends section 44 of the principal Ordinance by substituting the words "such fee as the Governor in Council shall prescribe" for the words a fee of one dollar" which is considered an inadequate sum to charge for the informative abstract which is to be supplied under the section. Section 4 of this Ordinance is the suspending clause usual in the case of an Ordinance relating to Merchant Shipping.

4. Section 21 of the Vaccination Ordinance, 1923, is Amendment amended :--

of Ordinance No. 12 of 1923, s. 21.

Objects and Reasons.

This Ordinance reduces the period of grace for unvac- cinated children born within the Colony or admitted to school therein, from six months to six weeks and repeals the sub-section of section 14 of the principal Ordinance which exempted guardians from penalties for not causing children to be vaccinated during the summer months. Sub-section (3) of that section is altered so as to allow six weeks instead of one month as the period of grace in the case of children brought here for the first time. This Ordinance also repeals a sub-section of section 21 of the principal Ordinance the effect of which is spent.

Where it appears to the satisfaction of the court that any solicitation has been used by or on behalf of a trustee or receiver in obtaining proxies, or in procur- ing the trusteeship or receivership, except by the direction of a meeting of creditors, the court shall have power, if it thinks fit, to order that no remunera- tion shall be allowed to the person by whom or on whose behalf such solicitation may have been exercis- ed, notwithstanding any resolution of the committee of inspection or of the creditors to the contrary.

22. A creditor may appoint the Official Receiver to act in manner prescribed as his general or special

545

24. A meeting shall not be competent to act for any purpose, except the election of a chairman, the proving of debts, and the adjournment of the meet- ing, unless there are present, or represented thereat, at least three creditors, or all the creditors if their number does not exceed three.

25. If within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum of creditors is not present or represented, the meeting shall be adjourned to the same day in the following week at the same time and place, or to such other day as the chairman may ap- point, not being less than seven nor more than twenty- one days.

SECOND SCHEDULE.

[s. 36.]

PROOF OF DEBTS.

Proof in ordinary cases.

1. Every creditor shall prove his debt as soon as may be after the making of a receiving order.

2. A debt may be proved by delivering or sending through the post in a prepaid letter to the Official Receiver, or, if a trustee has been appointed, to the trustee, an affidavit verifying the debt.

3. The affidavit may be made by the creditor him- self, or by some person authorised by or on behalf of the creditor and having knowledge of the facts. If made by a person so authorised, it shall state his authority and means of knowledge.

4. The affidavit shall contain or refer to a statement of account showing the particulars of the debt, and shall specify the vouchers, if any, by which the same can be substantiated. The Official Receiver or trustee may at any time call for the production of the Vouchers. The particulars shall be in the English language.

5. The affidavit shall state whether the creditor is or is not a secured creditor, and if it is found at any time that the affidavit made by or on behalf of.a secured creditor has omitted to state that he is a

546

secured creditor, the secured creditor shall surrender his security to the Official Receiver or trustee for the general benefit of the creditors unless the Court on application is satisfied that the omission has arisen from inadvertence, and in that case the Court may allow the affidavit to be amended upon such terms as to the repayment of any dividends or otherwise as the Court may consider to be just.

6. A creditor shall bear the cost of proving his debt, unless the court otherwise specially orders.

7. Every creditor who has lodged a proof shall be entitled to see and examine the proofs of other credi- tors before the first meeting, and at all reasonable times on payment of the prescribed fee.

8. A creditor proving his debt shall deduct there- from all trade discounts, but he shall not be com- pelled to deduct any discount, not exceeding five per cent on the net amount of his claim, which he may have agreed to allow for payment in cash.

Proof by secured Creditors.

9. If a secured creditor realises his security, he may prove for the balance due to him, after deduct- ing the net amount realised.

10. If a secured creditor surrenders his security to the Official Receiver or trustee for the general benefit of the creditors, he may prove for his whole debt.

11. If a secured creditor does not either realise or surrender his security, he shall, before ranking for dividend, state in his proof the particulars of his security, the date when it was given, and the value at which he assesses it, and shall be entitled to receive a dividend only in respect of the balance due to him after deducting the value so assessed.

12.-(a) Where a security is so valued the trustee may at any time redeem it on payment to the creditor of the assessed value.

(b) If the trustee is dissatisfied with the value at which a security is assessed, he may require that the property comprised in any security so valued be offer- ed for sale at such times and on such terms and con- ditions as may be agreed on between the creditor and the trustee, or as, in default of such agreement, the court may direct. If the sale be by public auction the creditor, or the trustee on behalf of the estate, may bid or purchase.

(c) Provided that the creditor may at any time, by notice in writing, require the trustee to elect whether he will or will not exercise his power of redeeming the security or requiring it to be realised, and if the trustee does not, within six months after receiving the notice, signify in writing to the creditor his elec- tion to exercise the power, he shall not be entitled to exercise it; and the equity of redemption, or any other interest in the property comprised in the security which is vested in the trustee, shall vest in the creditor, and the amount of his debt shall be reduced by the amount at which the security has been valued.

13. Where a creditor has so valued his security, he may at any time amend the valuation and proof on showing to the satisfaction of the trustee, or the court, that the valuation and proof were made bonâ fide on a mistaken estimate, or that the security has diminished or increased in value since its previous valuation; but every such amendment shall be made at the cost of the creditor, and upon such terms as the court shall order, unless the trustee shall allow the amendment without application to the court.

547

14. Where a valuation has been amended in ac- cordance with the foregoing rule, the creditor shall forthwith repay any surplus dividend which he may have received in excess of that to which he would have been entitled on the amended valuation, or, as the case may be, shall be entitled to be paid out of any money, for the time being available for dividend, any dividend or share of dividend which he may have failed to receive by reason of the inaccuracy of the original valuation, before that money is made ap- plicable to the payment of any future dividend, but he shall not be entitled to disturb the distribution of any dividend declared before the date of the amend- ment.

15. If a creditor after having valued his security subsequently realises it, or if it is realised under the provisions of rule 12, the net amount realised shall be substituted for the amount of any valuation pre- viously made by the creditor, and shall be treated in all respects as an amended valuation made by the creditor.

16. If a secured creditor does not comply with the foregoing rules he shall be excluded from all share in any dividend.

17. Subject to the provisions of rule 12, a creditor shall in no case receive more than twenty shillings in the pound, and interest as provided by this Ordinance.

Proof in respect of Distinct Contracts.

18. If a debtor was, at the date of the receiving order, liable in respect of distinct contracts as & member of two or more distinct firms, or as a sole contractor, and also as member of a firm, the circum- stance that the firms are in whole or in part com- posed of the same individuals, or that the sole contractor is also one of the joint contractors, shall not prevent proof in respect of the contracts, against the properties respectively liable on the contracts.

Periodical Payments.

19. When any rent or other payment falls due at stated periods, and the receiving order is made at any time other than one of those periods, the person en- titled to the rent or payment may prove for a propor- tionate part thereof up to the date of the order as if the rent or payment grew due from day to day.

20. On any debt or sum certain, payable at an cer- tain time or otherwise, whereon interest is not reserved or agreed for, and which is overdue at the date of the receiving order and provable in bank. ruptcy, the creditor may prove for interest at a rate not exceeding eight per cent per annum to the date of the order from the time when the debt or sum was payable, if the debt or sum is payable by virtue of a written instrument at a certain time, and if payable otherwise, her

the time when a demand in writing has been made giving the debtor notice that interest will be claimed from the date of the demand until the time of payment.

Interest.

Debt payable at a future time.

21. A creditor may prove for a debt not payable when the debtor committed an act of bankruptcy as if it were payable presently, and may receive divi- dends equally with the other creditors, deducting only thereout a rebate of interest at the rate of five pounds per cent per annum computed from the declara- tion of a dividend to the time when the debt would have become payable, according to the terms on which it was contracted.

છે.

548

Admission or Rejection of Proofs.

22. The trustee shall examine every proof and the grounds of the debt, and in writing admit or reject it, in whole or in part, or require further evidence in support of it. If he rejects a proof he shall state in writing to the creditor the grounds of the rejection.

23. If the trustee thinks that a proof has been im- properly admitted, the court may, on the application of the trustee, after notice to the creditor who made the proof, expunge the proof or reduce its amount.

24. If a creditor is dissatisfied with the decision of the trustee in respect of a proof, the court may, on the application of the creditor, reverse or vary the decision. The Official Receiver or trustee shall not be personally liable for any costs in respect of the re- jection by him in whole or in part of any proof, unless it is proved to the satisfaction of the court that he has acted mala fide or with gross negligence.

25. The court may also expunge or reduce a proof upon the application of a creditor if the trustee declines to interfere in the matter, or, in the case of a composition or scheme, upon the application of the debtor.

26. The Official Receiver, before the appointment of a trustee, shall have all the powers of a trustee with respect to the examination, admission, and re- jection of proofs, and any act or decision of his in relation thereto shall be subject to the like appeal.

Objects and Reasons

The object of this bill is to repeal the existing Ordinance of 1891 which is out of date and to replace it by an Ordinance based on the Bankruptcy Act, 1914, but adapted to local conditions. Its com- mencement is postponed until the 1st January, 1932, so as to give time for the preparation of the rules which are to be made thereunder. The prin- cipal differences between the bill and the statute law now in force in England are shown in the Table of Correspondence. That Table also shows the principal differences between the bill and the present Bank. ruptcy Ordinance.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Merchant Ship- Short title. ping Amendment (No. 2) Ordinance, 1931.

2. Section 4 (2) of the Merchant Shipping Ordinance, Amendment 1899, is amended by the addition of the following proviso of Ordinance at the end thereof :-

No. 10 of 1899,

Provided further that it shall be lawful and s. 4 (2). shall be deemed always to have been lawful for the Governor in Council to grant special exemp- tion, which may be subject to any conditions he may impose, from all or any of the require- ments of this sub-section in the case of any ship regularly plying between the Colony and Dosing, Swabue (Shanmi), Ping Hoi, Ma Kung, Sha Yu Chung, Nam O, Tip Fuk, O Tau or any other non-treaty port if the master and mate shall have passed a special examination before the Harbour Master and shall be approved by him for service on such voyages.

3. Section 44 of the Mercbant Shipping Ordinance, Amendment 1899, is amended by the deletion of the words "a fee of of Ordinance one dollar" in the last line thereof and by the substitution No. 10 of therefor of the words "such fee as the Governor in 1899, s. 44. Council shall prescribe".

4. This Ordinance shall not come into operation unless Suspending and until the Governor notifies by Proclamation that it is clause. His Majesty's pleasure not to disallow the same and there- after it shall come into operation upon such day as the Governor shall notify by the same or any other Proclama- tion.

562

Objects and Reasons.

It has been the practice to grant special exemption from the requirements of section 4 of the Merchant Ship- ping Ordinance, to certain small steamers holding Hong Kong passenger licences regularly plying between the Colony and places not open to general trade. The prac- tice would seem to require an amendment of the section, which is relaxed by its proviso in the case of river steamers and trawlers and which was further relaxed in 1917, in the case of river steamers, for a period of 61⁄2 years, by Ordinance No. 13 of 1917 and Notification No. 432 of 1923. Section 2 of this Ordinance accordingly adds a third proviso to section 4 (2) of the principal Ordi- nance. Section 3 amends section 44 of the principal Ordinance by substituting the words such fee as the Governor in Council shall prescribe" for the words " of one dollar" which is considered an inadequate sam to charge for the informative abstract which is to be supplied under the section. Section 4 of this Ordinance is the suspending clanse usual in the case of an Ordinance relating to Merchant Shipping.

5. Section 23 of the Legal Practitioners Ordinance, 1871, is amended by the deletion of the word "solicitor in the seventh line thereof and by the substitution therefor of the words "attorney, solicitor, law agent or proctor".

6. Section 23 A of the Legal Practitioners Ordinance, 1871, is amended by the deletion of the words "Hongkong Law Society "in the first line and by the substitution therefor of the words " Incorporated Law Society of Houg Kong"

Objects and Reasons.

1. Under section 21 of the principal Ordinance the court is empowered to approve, admit, and enrol such persons as have been admitted as attorneys, solicitors, or writers in one of the courts of London, Dublin or Edin- burgh, or as proctors in any Ecclesiastical Court in England, to practise as solicitors in the court, and the expression "writer" is to be deemed to include "law agents' as defined in section 1 of the Act, 36 and 37 Victoria, chapter 63.

2. It is felt that the limitation to named cities is too restrictive. The rights and duties of Law Agents in Scotland are regulated by the Law Agents (Scotland) Acts, 1873 and 1891. The term "Law Agent" (equiva- lent to "solicitor in England) is defined by the former Act as

"Law Agents, shall include Writers to the Signet, Solicitors in the Supreme Court, Procurators in any Sheriff Court, and every person entitled to practise as an Agent in a court of Law in Scotland ".

3. The Secretary of State, in a recent circular Despatch (dated the 8th January, 1931) forwarding an extract from a memorandum of the Commeil of the Scottish Law Agents Society regarding admission to practise in the Colonies, states that he is sure that the intention is that the same privilege should be conferred upon solicitors in Scotland as upon solicitors in England and that therefore the reference, so far as Scotland is concerned, should be "law agents admitted to practise in Scotland" and nothing

more.

4. Section 21 of the principal Ordinance is amended accordingly and sections 22 and 23 are made uniform therewith.

5. Sections 2, 22 and 23A of the principal Ordinance are also amended so as to give The Incorporated Law Society of Hong Kong its correct title.

INTITULED

An Ordinance to amend the law relating to

the Registration of Births and Deaths.

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

1. This Ordinance may he cited as the Births and Short title. Deaths Registration Amendment Ordinance, 1931.

2.-(1) Section 3 (1) of the Births and Deaths Regis- Amendment tration Ordinance, 1896, is amended by the substitution of of Ordinance the words "Medical Department for the words Sani- No. 7 of tary Department".

Ordinance

No. 7 of 1896, 8. 6.

(3) In every case where information is given of the death of any citizen of the United States of America in the Colony, the Registrar shall at once inform the Official Administrator of the fact, in order that the necessary information may be immediately forwarded to the nearest consular officer of the said United States.

4. Section 10 (2) of the Births and Deaths Registra- Amendment tion Ordinance, 1896, is amended by the deletion of the of Ordinance words "for every year or part of a year that has elapsed No. 7 of since the birth".

1896, s. 10 (2).

566

Objects and Reasons

1. The Registrar General (whose title was changed to Secretary for Chinese Affairs by Ordinance No. 21 of 1913) was Registrar of Births and Deaths under the Births and Deaths Registration Ordinance, 1896, (No 7 of 1896) until 1909 when by the Public Service Transfer of Duties Ordinance (No. 15 of 1909) the Head of the Sanitary Department was substituted. It is now considered, as a part of the scheme for re-organization of the Medical and Sanitary Services of the Colony, that the Director of those Services should be the Registrar of Births and Deaths. Sections 2 and 5 of this Ordinance accordingly make the necessary changes in the principal Ordinance and Regulations. As the Medical and the Sanitary Departments are in the same Building the transfer of office and staff from one department to another involves no changes in the routine of registration.

2. Sections 3 and 6 implement section 14 (2) of the Probates Ordinance, 1897, (No. 2 of 1897 as amended by No. 21 of 1930) in order to give effect to an arrangement which has been arrived at between His Majesty's Govern- ment and the United States Government, relating to the manner in which the provisions of Article 3 of the Real and Personal Property 'onvention of Washington of the 2nd March, 1899, which has been applied to this Colony, may be carried out. Under that arrangement, provision

is made for notification to the nearest American Consul whenever a citizen of the United States dies in the Colony. Under section 14 of the Probates Ordinance, the notifica- tion is made by the Official Administrator. The amend- ments made in the principal Ordinance by this Ordinance make provision for informing the Official Administrator Informants for purposes of Registration of Death are therefore required to state, in addition to the usual parti- culars, the nationality of the deceased, if known; and where the information is of the death of a citizen of the United States, the Registrar is required to pass such infor- mation on to the Official Administrator and through him to the Consul.

3. Section 4 of this Ordinance amends section 10 (2) of the principal Ordinance. Under that sub-section, which was introduced into the principal Ordinance by Ordinance No. 26 of 1923, the late registration fee, after twelve months, is at the rate of five dollars for every year or part of a year that has elapsed since death. It is considere i that the progressive fee defeats its object as it deters persons from registering who might otherwise do so parti- cularly in the New Territories where the absence of district registries has been conducive to late registration.

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Births and Deaths Registration Amendment Ordinance, 1931.

2.-(1) Section 3 (1) of the Births and Deaths Regis- tration Ordinance, 1896, is amended by the substitution of the words "Medical Department for the words "Sani- tary Department ".

21

(2) Section 3 (2) of the said Ordinance is amended by the substitution of the words · Director of Medical and Sanitary Services" for the words "Head of the Sanitary Department ".

3. The following sub-section is added at the end of of Ordinance section 6 of the Births and Deaths Registration Ordinance,

No. 7 of

1896,

s. 6.

Amendment

No. 7 of

1896:

4. Section 10 (2) of the Births and Deaths Registra-

Forms 2 and 16.

(2) The Notice on the back of the certificate in Form No. 16 in the said Schedule is amended by the insertion of the words "and nationality. so far as is known". after

583

Objects and Reasons.

1. The Registrar General (whose title was changed to Secretary for Chinese Affairs by Ordinance No. 21 of 1913) was Registrar of Births and Deaths under the Births and Deaths Registration Ordinance, 1896, (No 7 of 1896) until 1909 when by the Public Service Transfer of Duties Ordinance (No. 15 of 1909) the Head of the Sanitary Department was substituted. It is now considered, as a part of the scheme for re-organization of the Medical and Sanitary Services of the Colony, that the Director of those Services should be the Registrar of Births and Deaths. Sections 2 and 5 of this Ordinance accordingly make the necessary changes in the principal Ordinance and Regulations. As the Medical and the Sanitary Departments are in the same Building the transfer of office and staff from one department to another involves no changes in the routine of registration.

2. Sections 3 and 6 implement section 14 (2) of the Probates Ordinance, 1897, (No. 2 of 1897 as amended by No. 21 of 1930) in order to give effect to an arrangement which has been arrived at between His Majesty's Govern- ment and the United States Government, relating to the manner in which the provisions of Article 3 of the Real and Personal Property Convention of Washington of the 2nd March, 1899, which has been applied to this Colony, may be carried out. Under that arrangement, provision is made for notification to the nearest American Consul whenever a citizen of the United States dies in the Colony. Under section 14 of the Probates Ordinance, the notifica- tion is made by the Official Administrator. The amend- ments made in the principal Ordinance by this Ordinance make provision for informing the Official Administrator Informants for purposes of Registration of Death are therefore required to state, in addition to the usual parti- culars, the nationality of the deceased, if known; and where the information is of the death of a citizen of the United States, the Registrar is required to pass such infor- mation on to the Official Administrator and through him to the Consul.

3. Section 4 of this Ordinance amends section 10 (2) of the principal Ordinance. Under that sub-section, which was introduced into the principal Ordinance by Ordinance No. 26 of 1923, the late registration fee, after twelve months, is at the rate of five dollars for every year or part of a year that has elapsed since birth. It is considered that the progressive fee defeats its object as it deters persons from registering who might otherwise do so parti- cularly in the New Territories where the absence of district registries has been conducive to late registration.

of Ordinance

No. 1 of 1903, s. 54.

INTITULED

An Ordinance to amend further the Public

Health and Buildings Ordinance, 1903.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Public Health and Buildings Amendment (No. 2) Ordinance, 1931.

2. Section 54 of the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance, 1903, is amended by the repeal of sub- section (3) thereof and by the substitution therefor of the following sub-section :-

(3) The maximum compensation shall be four hundred dollars in the case of any head of cattle and forty dollars in the case of any other animal.

Objects and Reasons.

66

Until 1923, section 54 of the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance, 1903, provided for the payment of compensation, not exceeding $100 for each animal, for the slaughter of infected cattle. Cattle is defined under the Ordinance, and means "bulls, cows, oxen, heifers, calves and buffaloes". The amending Ordinance, No. 21 of 1903, based to some extent on the Disease of Animals Act, 1894, provided for a maximum compensation of $40 in the case of a pig and $400 in the case of any other animal. It is considered that the latter figure should only be applied, as it was prior to 1923, in the case of cattle and that the figure then settled as the maximum in the case of a pig should apply to other animals

The penalties hitherto are consi- dered inadequate for the offences enumerated.

The new penalties are in accord with those provided for similar offences under other Ordinances (c.f. sections 47, 48, 58, and 59 of Ordinance No 10 of 1916). Section 4 makes a consequential amendment in Form 1 in the Schedule.

Amendment

An Ordinance to amend the Criminal Proce-

dure Ordinance, 1899.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Criminal Procedure Amendment Ordinance, 1931.

2. Section 99 of the Criminal Procedure Ordinance,

of Ordinance 1899, is amended as follows: No. 9 of 1899,

s. 99.

(i) in sub-section (1) by the deletion of the words "before the close of the last day's sitting of the court at each session, make out a list of all" in the first, second and third lines and by the substitution therefor of the words "during or after the close of each session, make out a list or lists of";

66

(ii) in sub-section (2) by the insertion of the words. or lists" after the word "list" in the first line.

Objects and Reasons.

Section 99 of the principal Ordinance purports to be based on section 31 of the Criminal Law Act, 1826; but, unlike that section, requires that the list of defaul- ters on recognizance be made out before the close of the last day's sitting of the court at each session. This Ordinance will remove that limitation which has been found inconvenient. Provision is also made for the preparation of more than one list as an interim list may be desirable in certain cases.

3. Section 43 of the Rating Ordinance, 1901, is amended as follows :--

If the above infor- mation is not furnished within ten days, no appeal from the assessment will be allowed.

Objects and Reasons.

Section 2 of this Ordinance substitutes for section 29 of the principal Ordinance a section in conformity with the resolution passed by the Legislative Council on the 7th May. Section 3 raises the maximum penalty of one hundred dollars, imposed for offences under paragraphs (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) and (7) of section 43 of the principal Ordinance, to five hundred dollars and to imprisonment for any term not exceeding six months. The penalties hitherto are consi- dered inadequate for the offences enumerated. The new penalties are in accord with those provided for similar offences under other Ordinances (c.f. sections 47, 48, 58, and 59 of Ordinance No 10 of 1916). Section 4 makes a consequential amendment in Form 1 in the Schedule.

[No. 11-4.6.31.-1.]

An Ordinance to amend the Criminal Proce-

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Criminal Short title. Procedure Amendment Ordinance, 1931.

2. Section 99 of the Criminal Procedure Ordinance, Amendment 1899, is amended as follows:-

(ii) in sub-section (2) by the insertion of the words or lists" after the word "list" in the first line.

Objects and Reasons.

Section 99 of the principal Ordinance purports to be based on section 31 of the Criminal Law Act, 1826; but, unlike that section, requires that the list of defaul- ters on recognizance be made out before the close of the last day's sitting of the court at each session. This Ordinance will remove that limitation which has been found inconvenient. Provision is also made for the preparation of more than one list as an interim list be desirable in certain cases.

An Ordinance to amend further the Public

Health and Buildings Ordinance, 1903.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Public Health and Buildings Amendment (No. 2) Ordinance, 1931.

2. Section 54 of the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance, 1903, is amended by the repeal of sub- section (3) thereof and by the substitution therefor of the following sub-section :-

(3) The maximum compensation shall be four hundred dollars in the case of any head of cattle and forty dollars in the case of any other animal.

Objects and Reasons.

66

""

Until 1923, section 54 of the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance, 1903, provided for the payment of compensation, not exceeding $100 for each animal, for the slaughter of infected cattle. Cattle is defined under the Ordinance, and means "bulls, cows, oxen, heifers, calves and buffaloes". The amending Ordinance, No. 21 of 1903, based to some extent on the Disease of Animals Act, 1894, provided for a maximum compensation of $40 in the case of a pig and $400 in the case of any other animal. It is considered that the latter figure should only be applied, as it was prior to 1923, in the case of cattle and that the figure then settled as the maximum in the case of a pig should apply to other animals.

Schedule.

Commence.

ment.

7. This Ordinance shall come into operation on the first day of January, 1932.

Objects and Reasons.

1. The Registrar General (whose title was changed to Secretary for Chinese Affairs by Ordinance No. 21 of 1913) was Registrar of Births and Deaths under the Births and Deaths Registration Ordinance, 1896, (No. 7 of 1896) until 1909 when by the Public Service Transfer of Duties Ordinance (No. 15 of 1909) the Head of the Sanitary Department was substituted. It is now considered, as a part of the scheme for re-organization of the Medical and Sanitary Services of the Colony, that the Director of those Services should be the Registrar of Births and Deaths. Sections 2 and 5 of this Ordinance accordingly make the necessary changes in the principal Ordinance and Regulations. As the Medical and the Sanitary Departments are in the same Building the transfer of office and staff from one department to another involves no changes in the routine of registration.

2. Sections 3 and 6 implement section 14 (2) of the Probates Ordinance, 1897, (No. 2 of 1897 as amended by No. 21 of 1930) in order to give effect to an arrangement which has been arrived at between His Majesty's Govern- ment and the United States Government, relating to the manner in which the provisions of Article 3 of the Real and Personal Property Convention of Washington of the 2nd March, 1899, which has been applied to this Colony, may be carried out. Under that arrangement, provision

is made for notification to the nearest American Consul whenever a citizen of the United States dies in the Colony. Under section 14 of the Probates Ordinance, the notifica- tion is made by the Official Administrator. The amend- ments made in the principal Ordinance by this Ordinance make provision for informing the Official Administrator. Informants for purposes of Registration of Death are therefore required to state, in addition to the usual parti- culars, the nationality of the deceased, if known; and where the information is of the death of a citizen of the United States, the Registrar is required to pass such infor- mation on to the Official Administrator and through him to the Consul.

3. Section 4 of this Ordinance amends section 10 (2) of the principal Ordinance. Under that sub-section, which was introduced into the principal Ordinance by Ordinance No. 26 of 1923, the late registration fee, after twelve months, is at the rate of five dollars for every year or part of a year that has elapsed since birth. It is considered that the progressive fee defeats its object as it deters persons from registering who might otherwise do so parti- cularly in the New Territories where the absence of district registries has been conducive to late registration.

4 Section 7 postpones the operation of this Ordinance until the 1st January, 1932.

A BILL

INTITULED

An Ordinance to amend the Supreme Court

Ordinance, 1873.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Supreme Short title. Court Amendment Ordinance, 1931.

2. Section 13 of the Supreme Court Ordinance, 1873, Amendment is amended by the deletion of the word "two" in the of Ordinance

No. 3 of second line and by the substitution therefor of the

                      1873, s. 13. words " one or more ".

Objects and Reasons.

Section 13 of the principal Ordinance requires two Deputy Registrars for the Supreme Court. There is at present only one; the duties of accountant formerly performed by one of the Deputy Registrars being now undertaken by another officer. It is considered desir- able to continue the present arrangement and that the personnel of the Registry should be decided by the Governor according to the requirements of the time. This Ordinance amends section 13 of the principal Ordinance accordingly.

INTITULED

An Ordinance to amend the Gunpowder and

Fireworks Ordinance, 1901.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Gunpowder and Fireworks Amendment Ordinance, 1931.

2. Section 4 of the Gunpowder and Fireworks Ordinance, 1901, is amended

(a) by the deletion of the figure (1) in the first

line.

(b) by the repeal of sub-section (2).

3. Section 6 of the Gunpowder and Fireworks Ordinance, 1901, is amended by the repeal of sub- section (4).

4. Section 16 of the Gunpowder and Fireworks Ordinance, 1901, is amended by the insertion after the word "expedient" in the second line of the following words :-

"with regard to the fees to be paid by licensees and".

Objects and Reasons.

1. It is proposed to raise the fees for licences to manufacture gunpowder and fireworks. The fees for these, fixed by sections 4 and 6 of the principal. Ordinance, are $25 and $10 per annum respectively.

2. Under the analogous Dangerous Goods Ordinance (No. 1 of 1873, s.5) the fees prescribed for licences are dealt with by Regulations made by the Governor in Council,

3. The Governor in Council also fixes fees for licences under several other Ordinances. (See No. 8 of 1887, s. 3; No. 7 of 1906, s. 5; No. 40 of 1912, s. 3; No. 22 of 1919, s. 6; No. 15 of 1922, s. 15; No. 30 of 1923, s. 3; No. 21 of 1927, s. 3; and No. 11 of 1930, s. 4). It is intended that a fee of $250 shall be fixed for each class of licence.

4 This Ordinance, therefore, repeals sub-section (2) of section 4 and sub-section (4) of section 6 of the principal Ordinance and, by an amendment of section 16, enables the Governor in Council to make rules with regard to the fees to be paid by licensees under that Ordinance.

11. This Ordinance shall come into operation on the first day of January, 1932.

Objects and Reasons.

1. The Registrar General (whose title was changed to Secretary for Chinese Affairs by Ordinance No. 21 of 1913) was Registrar of Births and Deaths under the Births and Deaths Registration Ordinance, 1896, (No. 7 of 1896) until 1909 when by the Public Service Transfer of Duties Ordinance (No. 15 of 1909) the Head of the Sanitary Department was substituted. It is now considered, as a part of the scheme for re-organization of the Medical and Sanitary Services of the Colony, that the Director of those Services should be the Registrar of Births and Deaths. Sections 2 and 6 of this Ordinance accordingly make the necessary changes in the principal Ordinance and Regulations. As the Medical and the Sanitary Departments are in the same Building the transfer of office and staff from one department to another involves no changes in the routine of registration.

837

2. Sections 3 and 10 (1) and (4) implement section 41 (2) of the Probates Ordinance, 1897, (No. 2 of 1897

as

amended by No. 21 of 1930) in order to give effect to an arrangement which has been arrived at between His Majesty's Government and the United States Government, relating to the manner in which the provisions of Article 3 of the Real and Personal Property Convention of Washington of the 2nd March, 1899, which has been applied to this Colony, may be carried out. Under that arrangement, provision

is made for notification to the nearest American Consul whenever a citizen of the United States dies in the Colony. Under section 14 of the Probates Ordinance, the notifica- tion is made by the Official Administrator. The amend- ments made in the principal Ordinance by this Ordinance make provision for informing the Official Administrator. Informants for purposes of Registration of Death are therefore required to state, in addition to the usual parti- culars, the nationality of the deceased, if known; and where the information is of the death of a citizen of the United States, the Registrar is required to pass such infor- mation on to the Official Administrator and through him to the Consul.

3. Section 4 of this Ordinance amends section 10 (2) of the principal Ordinance. Under that sub-section, which was introduced into the principal Ordinance by Ordinance No. 26 of 1923, the late registration fee, after twelve months, is at the rate of five dollars for every year or part of a year that has elapsed since birth. It is considered. that the progressive fee defeats its object as it deters persons from registering who might otherwise do so parti- cularly in the New Territories where the absence of district registries has been conducive to late registration.

4. Sections 5, 7, 8, 9 and 10 (2) and (3) raise the statutory fees for certificates and searches.

5. Section 11 postpones the operation of this Ordinance until the 1st January, 1932.

Amendment of Ordinance No. 16 of 1911, s. 4.

INTITULED

An Ordinance to amend the Money-lenders

Ordinance, 1911.

BE it enacted by the Governor of Hong Kong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows :མ་

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Money-lenders Amendment Ordinance, 1931.

2. Section 4 of the Money-lenders Ordinance, 1911, is amended

(i) by the deletion of the words ", not exceeding teu dollars for each registration or renewal," in the sixth and seventh lines of sub-section (1). (ii) by the deletion of the words "three years

the second and fourth lines of sub-section (2) and by the substitution therefor in each case of the words "one year".

in

Objects and Reasons.

1. Section of the Money-lenders Ordinance, 1911 following as closely as local circumstances permitted the form of section 3 of the Act of 1900 (63 & 64 Vict. c. 51), limited the registration and renewal fees for money- lenders to $10 and made registration and renewal effective for periods of three years.

2. Section 3 of the Act of 1900 was repealed by section 19 of the Act of 1927 (17 and 18 Geo. 5, c. 21), under section i of which annual money-lenders excise licences have to be taken out, the excise duty being £15.

3. It is intended to provide, in the Regulations made by the Governor in Council under section 4 of the prin- cipal Ordinance, for an annual registration or renewal fee of $50.

4. This Ordinance therefore deletes from section 4 (1) the limitation of the fee to $10 and by amendments to section 4 (2) reduces the effectiveness of registrations and renewals from three years to one year.

A BILL

INTITULED

An Ordinance to amend the Land Registration

Ordinance, 1844.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Land Registra- Short title. tion Amendment Ordinance, 1931.

2. Section 26 of the Land Registration Ordinance, Amendment 1844, is amended by the repeal of sub-section (2) thereof of Ordinance and by the substitution therefor of the following sub- No. 1 of

1844, s. 26.

sections:-

(2) Subject to the provisions of sub-section (3), the true consideration shall be stated in all docu- ments registered in the Land Office.

(3) Where the amount or value of the consideration money is not stated in any deed, assignment, mortgage or other instrument tendered for regis- tration in the Land Office, or where no considera- tion money or merely nominal consideration money passes thereunder, the value of the property, to which such deed, assignment or other instrument relates, shall be determined by the Land Officer and the like fees shall be paid as if the value so determined were the amount or value of the con- sideration money.

3. The Second Schedule to the Land Registration Amendment Ordinance, 1844, is amended-

of Ordinance No. 1 of 1844,

(i) by the addition of the following proviso at the Second

end of the paragraph 2:-

"Provided that where the amount or value of

the consideration money exceeds $20,000 and the deed, assignment, mortgage or other instrument relates to three or more lots, or sections or portions of lots, a further fee of $3 shall be paid in respect of the third and of each subsequent lot, section or portion."

(ii) by the addition of the following words after the word "certificate" in the fourth line of paragraph 3:

"for each lot, section or portion of a lot to

which such document relates".

(iii) by the addition of the following paragraphs at

the end thereof :-

15. For legal charges for and incidental to the preparation and issuing of ટી. Crown Lease and counterpart

.$ 30

16. For the Survey when a Crown Lease is issued for the whole or any portion of a lot formerly held under demise by Crown Lease.$ 20

Schedule.

354

Objects and Reasons.

1. Section 2 of this Ordinance substitutes two sub- sections for section 26 (2) of the principal Ordinance, the meaning of which was obscure and appeared to limit the Land Officer's valuations to property worth under $5,000, with no provision for valuations of property worth more than that amount. Thus in the case of a Partition, Exchange, Gift inter vivos or Assignment by a Trustee to a Cestuique trust (wherein no consideration money is stated) there has been, in most cases, no proper statutory method of determining the appropriate fee.

2. Section 3 of this Ordinance makes certain additions to the fees set out in the Second Schedule to the principal Ordinance.

"with regard to the fees to be paid by licensees and ".

Objects and Reasons.

1. It is proposed to raise the fees for licences to manufacture gunpowder and fireworks. The fees for these, fixed by sections 4 and 6 of the principal Ordinance, are $25 and $10 per annum respectively.

2. Under the analogous Dangerous Goods Ordinance (No. 1 of 1873, s.5) the fees prescribed for licences are dealt with by Regulations made by the Governor in Council.

3. The Governor in Council also fixes fees for licences under several other Ordinances. (See No. 8 of 1887, s. 3; No. 7 of 1906, s. 5; No. 40 of 1912, s. 3; No. 22 of 1919, s. 6; No. 15 of 1922, s. 15; No. 30 of 1923, s. 3; No. 21 of 1927, s. 3; and No. 11 of 1930, s. 4). It is intended that a fee of $250 shall be fixed for each class of licence.

4. This Ordinance, therefore, repeals sub-section (2) of section 4 and sub-section (4) of section 6 of the principal Ordinance and, by an amendment of section 16, enables the Governor in Council to make rules with regard to the fees to be paid by licensees under that Ordinance.

the Registration of Births and Deaths.

(3) Form No. 6 in the Schedule to the Births and Deaths Registration Ordinance, 1896, is amended by the deletion of the figure $1.00 at the end thereof and by the substitution therefor of the figures "$2.50 ".

(4) The Notice on the back of the certificate in Form No. 16 in the said Schedule is amended by the insertion of the words "and nationality, so far as is known", after the word "occupation" in the first line of paragraph (4).

11. This Ordinance shall come into operation on the first day of January, 1932.

Objects and Reasons.

1. The Registrar General (whose title was changed to Secretary for Chinese Affairs by Ordinance No. 21 of 1913) was Registrar of Births and Deaths under the Births and Deaths Registration Ordinance, 1896, (No. 7 of 1896) until 1909 when by the Public Service Transfer of Duties Ordinance (No. 15 of 1909) the Head of the Sanitary Department was substituted. It is now considered, as a part of the scheme for re-organization of the Medical and Sanitary Services of the Colony, that the Director of those Services should be the Registrar of Births and Deaths. Sections 2 and 6 of this Ordinance accordingly make the necessary changes in the principal Ordinance and Regulations. As the Medical and the Sanitary Departments are in the same Building the transfer of office and staff from one department to another involves no changes in the routine of registration.

881

2. Sectious 3 and 10 (1) and (4) implement section 41 (2) of the Probates Ordinance, 1897, (No. 2 of 1897

as

amended by No. 21 of 1930) in order to give effect to an arrangement which has been arrived at between His Majesty's Government and the United States Government, relating to the manner in which the provisions of Article 3 of the Real and Personal Property Convention of Washington of the 2nd March, 1899, which has been applied to this Colony, may be carried out. Under that arrangement, provision is made for notification to the nearest American Consul whenever a citizen of the United States dies in the Colony. Under section 14 of the Probates Ordinance, the notifica- tion is made by the Official Administrator. The amend- ments made in the principal Ordinance by this Ordinance make provision for informing the Official Administrator. Informants for purposes of Registration of Death are therefore required to state, in addition to the usual parti- culars, the nationality of the deceased, if known; and where the information is of the death of a citizen of the United States, the Registrar is required to pass such infor- *mation on to the Official Administrator and through him

to the Consul.

3. Section 4 of this Ordinance amends section 10 (2) of the principal Ordinance. Under that sub-section, which was introduced into the principal Ordinance by Ordinance No. 26 of 1923, the late registration fee, after twelve months, is at the rate of five dollars for every year or part of a year that has elapsed since birth. It is considered that the progressive fee defeats its object as it deters persons from registering who might otherwise do so parti- cularly in the New Territories where the absence of district registries has been conducive to late registration.

4. Sections 5, 7, 8, 9 and 10 (2) and (3) raise the statutory fees for certificates and searches.

5. Section 11 postpones the operation of this Ordinance until the 1st January, 1932.

Amendment of Ordinance No. 16 of 1911, s. 4.

INTITULED

An Ordinance to amend the Money-lenders

Ordinance, 1911.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Money-lenders Amendment Ordinance, 1931.

2. Section 4 of the Money-lenders Ordinance, 1911, is amended

(i) by the deletion of the words ", not exceeding ten dollars for each registration or renewal," in the sixth and seventh lines of sub-section (1).

(ii) by the deletion of the words "three years in the second and fourth lines of sub-section (2) and by the substitution therefor in each case of the words "* one year".

Objects and Reasons.

1. Section 4 of the Money-lenders Ordinance, 1911, following as closely as local circumstances permitted the form of section 3 of the Act of 1900 (63 & 64 Viet, c. 51), limited the registration and renewal fees for money- lenders to $10 and made registration and renewal effective for periods of three years.

2. Section 3 of the Act of 1900 was repealed by section 19 of the Act of 1927 (17 and 18 Geo. 5, c. 21), under section 1 of which annual money-lenders excise licences have to be taken out, the excise duty being £15.

8. It is intended to provide, in the Regulations made by the Governor in Council under section 4 of the prin- cipal Ordinance, for an annual registration or renewal fee of $50.

4. This Ordinance therefore dèletes from section 4 (1) the limitation of the fee to $10 and by amendments to section 4 (2) reduces the effectiveness of registrations and renewals from three years to one year.

Ordinance, 1844.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Land Registra Short title. tion Amendment Ordinance, 1931.

2. Section 26 of the Land Registration Ordinance, Amendment 1844, is amended by the repeal of sub-section (2) thereof of Ordinance and by the substitution therefor of the following sub- No. 1 of

1844, s. 26.

sections:

(2) Subject to the provisions of sub-section (3), the true consideration shall be stated in all docu- ments registered in the Land Office.

(3) Where the amount or value of the consideration money is not stated in any deed, assignment, mortgage or other instrument tendered for regis- tration in the Land Office, or where no considera- tion money or merely nominal consideration money passes thereunder, the value of the property, to which such deed, assignment or other instrument relates, shall be determined by the Land Officer and the like fees shall be paid as if the value so determined were the amount or value of the con- sideration money.

3. The Second Schedule to the Land Registration Amendment Ordinance, 1844, is amended-

of Ordinance No. 1 of 1844,

(i) by the addition of the following proviso at the Second

end of the paragraph 2 :-

Schedule.

"Provided that where the amount or value of the consideration money exceeds $20,000 and the deed, assignment, mortgage or other instrument relates to three or more lots, or sections or portions of lots, a further fee of $3 shall be paid in respect of the third and of each subsequent lot, section or 'portion."

(ii) by the addition of the following words after the word "certificate" in the fourth line of paragraph 3:-

"for each lot, section or portion of a lot to

which such document relates ".

(iii) by the addition of the following paragraphs at

the end thereof;-

15. For legal charges for and incidental to the preparation and issuing of a a Crown Lease and counterpart

$ 30

16. For the Survey when a Crown Lease is issued for the whole or any portion of a lot formerly held under demise by Crown Lease.$ 20

884

Objects and Reasons.

1. Section 2 of this Ordinance substitutes two sub- sections for section 26 (2) of the principal Ordinance, the meaning of which was obscure and appeared to limit the Land Officer's valuations to property worth under $5,000, with no provision for valuations of property worth more than that amount. Thus in the case of a Partition, Exchange, Gift inter vivos or Assignment by a Trustee to a Cestuique trust (wherein no consideration money is stated) there has been, in most cases, no proper statutory method of determining the appropriate fee.

2. Section 3 of this Ordinance makes certain additions to the fees set out in the Second Schedule to the principal Ordinance.

1. The principal Ordinance (No. 8 of 1921, s. 21 and Schedule Heading 13) requires annual certificates in the case of architects, barristers, dentists, medical practi- tioners, pharmaceutical chemists and solicitors practising in the Colony.

2. The object of this Ordinance is to add auditors authorised to audit companies accounts, who practise in the Colony, and to raise the annual fee from $25 to $50.

3. Section 2 defers the commencement of the amend- ment until the 1st January, 1932, so as to permit current certificates to expire.

4. Sections 3 and 4 effect the amendments contem- plated.

5. The proviso added by section 3 (ii) is inserted because by section 113 (10) of the Companies Ordinance, 1911, as amended by section 8 of Ordinance No. 15 of 1925, the word person in reference to authorised auditors includes a firm.

Short title.

Amendment of Ordinance No. 3 of 1901, s. 439.

An Ordinance to amend the Code of Civil

Procedure.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Code of Civil Procedure Amendment Ordinance, 1931.

2. Section 439 of the Code of Civil Procedure is amended-

19

(i) by the deletion of the word "subsistence in the third line and by the substitution therefor of the words support and maintenance"; and

(ii) by the deletion of the words "twenty-five cents'

in the fourth line and by the substitution there- for of the words "two dollars ".

Objects and Reasons.

Under section 439 of the principal Ordinance, when a judgment debtor is committed to prison in execution of a judgment, the Court fixes whatever monthly allowance it may think sufficient for his subsistence, not exceeding twenty-five cents per diem, which is to be paid by the person at whose instance the judgment has been executed to the Superintendent of Prisous by monthly payments in advance. This maximum was the rate fixed by section 79 of the Hong Kong Code of Civil Procedure (Ordinance No. 13 of 1873) which has been replaced by the present Code of Civil Procedure (Ordinance No. 3 of 1901). The maximum is insufficient to meet the cost of maintenance; the average cost per prisoner in 1930 having being in excess of $1.25 per diem. In 1931 it is expected to cost more. This Ordinance raises the maximum to $2.00 and substitutes the words "support and maintenance", which in relation to prisoners have been held to include the salaries of officers and the expense of keeping up the prison as well as houseroom, food, clothing, bedding and fuel (The Queen v. Gravesend Borough Council 5 E. and B. 459), for the word "subsistence' which does not appear to have been the subject of judicial interpretation.

Objects and Reasons.

This Ordinance establishes a fee of $10 for the issue of Arms licences under section 3 of the principal Ordinance from the beginning of 1932.

Section 27 of the principal Ordinance is amended so as to enable the Governor in Council to revoke, alter or add to the Table of Fees in the Second Schedule. The Governor in Council fixes fees in the case of many other Ordinances.

895

THE FERRIES ORDINANCE AND REGULATIONS,

  8. The grant of a licence to the successful tenderer is under and subject to the Ferries Ordinance, 1917, and the regulations for the time being and from time to time in force thereunder.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Peace Preserva- tion Amendment Ordinance, 1931.

2. Section 14 of the Peace Preservation Ordinance, of Ordinance 1886, is amended by the addition after the word "Ordi-

INTITULED

[No. 30-19.9.31.-3.]

An Ordinance to amend the Suitors' Funds

Ordinance, 1896.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Suitors' Funds Short title. Amendment Ordinance, 1931.

2. Sections 2 and 3 of the Suitors' Funds Ordinance, Repeal of 1896, are repealed.

Ordinance No. 5 of 1896, ss. and 3.

3. Section 4 of the Suitors' Funds Ordinance, 1896, Amendment is amended:

of Ordinance No. 5 of

(i) by the deletion of the words "carrying this 1896, s. 4.

Ordinance into effect and ";

46

"

(ii) by the deletion of the word Treasurer

wherever it occurs and by the substitution therefor in each case of the word "Registrar".

Objects and Reasons.

The principal Ordinance was passed at the request of the Secretary of State, the Marquis of Ripon, in his despatch of the 10th August, 1894, somewhat on the lines of the Suitors' Funds Ordinance, 1891, of the Straits Settlements, under which Court moneys were placed on deposit with the Colonial Treasurer and the Government was made liable to make good all monies so placed on deposit together with interest at the rate of two per cent. per annum. The Straits Settlements procedure is now regulated by appropriate provisions of their Civil Procedure Code.

Sections 2 and 3 of the Suitors' Funds Ordinance, 1896, require that all moneys paid into court should be placed on deposit with the Treasurer and should be paid out by the Treasurer only on the requisition of the Registrar.

Under the existing practice moneys paid into court are paid by the Registrar into the account of the Government at such bank as the Treasurer may indicate and the Treasurer is informed daily of the amount paid in.

When payment out is required the Registrar issues to the intended payee a "Direction" (Form 4 prescribed by the Suitors' Funds Rules, 1928) requiring the Treasurer to pay to the person named therein a specified sum. The payee then takes the "Direction to the Treasury where payment is made in accordance with the tenor thereof.

Individual ledger accounts for actions in connection with which payments are made into court are kept only by the Registrar, the Treasurer keeping merely an account dealing with the total amounts paid into and out of the bank as Suitors' Funds.

The keeping by the Treasurer of individual ledger accounts would, by reason of the multiplicity of items (largely small in amount), involve much labour and would be reduplication of work done in the Registry; but without the keeping of such accounts the present system affords no effective safeguard, as the Treasurer has no means of determining whether the sum which he is directed to pay is in fact payable to the person named in the "Direction

>>

The present system is cumbrous and involves labour in the Treasury and delay and inconvenience for litigants without affording any commensurate safe- guard.

It is considered desirable that payments into court should be dealt with in the manner in which they now are, but that payments out of court should be made by the Registrar direct to the persons entitled thereto, the Treasurer being duly informed by the Registrar of all payments into and out of court. The Colonial Trea- surer, the Auditor and the Registrar of the Supreme Court are desirous of making this change in this pro- cedure, which is in accord with that which prevails in the Country Courts in England.

The Ordinance has been submitted to the Secretary of State, Lord Passfield, and is in the form approved by him in his despatch of the 1st August, 1931.

Amendment

of Ordinance No. 3 of 1901, s. 439.

An Ordinance to amend the Code of Civil

Procedure.

Be it enacted by the Governor of Hong Kong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows

1. This Ordinance may be cited as Procedure Amendment Ordinance, 1931.

Code of Civil

2. Section 439 of the Code of Civil Procedure is amended-

(i) by the deletion of the word "subsistence" in the third line and by the substitution therefor of the words support and maintenance"; and

66

39

(ii) by the deletion of the words "twenty-five cents'

in the fourth line and by the substitution there- for of the words "two dollars ".

Objects and Reasons.

Under section 439 of the principal Ordinance, when a judgment debtor is committed to prison in execution of a judgment, the Court fixes whatever monthly allowance it may think sufficient for his subsistence, not exceeding twenty-five cents per diem, which is to be paid by the person at whose instance the judgment has been executed to the Superintendent of Prisons by monthly payments in advance. This maximum was the rate fixed by section 79 of the Hong Kong Code of Civil Procedure (Ordinance No. 13 of 1873) which has been replaced by the present Code of Civil Procedure (Ordinance No. 3 of 1901). The maximum is insufficient to meet the cost of maintenance; the average cost per prisoner in 1930 having being in excess of $1.25 per diem. In 1931 it is expected to cost more. This Ordinance raises the maximum to $2.00 and substitutes the words "support and maintenance", which in relation to prisoners have been beld to include the salaries of officers and the expense of keeping up the prison as well as houseroom, food, clothing, bedding and fuel (The Queen v. Gravesend Borough Council 5 E. and B. 459), for the word subsistence " which does not appear to have been the subject of judicial interpretation.

Objects and Reasons.

This Ordinance establishes a fee of $10 for the issue of Arms licences under section 3 of the principal Ordinance from the beginning of 1932. It has not been the practice hitherto to charge any fee, even under the Official Signa- tures Fees Ordinance, 1888, for such licences. Section 27 of the principal Ordinance is amended so as to enable the Governor in Council to revoke, alter or add to the Table of Fees in the Second Schedule. The Governor in Council fixes fees in the case of many other Ordinances.

A BILL

Short title.

Repeal of Ordinance No. 5 of 1896, ss. 2 and 3.

Amendment of Ordinance

No. 5 of 1896, s. 4.

INTITULED

An Ordinance to amend the Suitors' Funds

Ordinance, 1896.

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

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Suitors' Funds Amendment Ordinance, 1931.

2. Sections 2 and 3 of the Suitors' Funds Ordinance, 1896, are repealed.

3. Section 4 of the Suitors' Funds Ordinance, 1896, is amended :-

(i) by the deletion of the words "carrying this

Ordinance into effect and ";

(ii) by the deletion of the word "Treasurer " wherever it occurs and by the substitution therefor in each case of the word "Registrar".

Objects and Reasons.

The principal Ordinance was passed at the request of the Secretary of State, the Marquis of Ripon, in his despatch of the 10th August, 1894, somewhat on the lines of the Suitors' Funds Ordinance, 1891, of the Straits Settlements, under which Court moneys were placed on deposit with the Colonial Treasurer and the Government was made liable to make good all monies so placed on deposit together with interest at the rate of two per cent. per annum. The Straits Settlements procedure is now regulated by appropriate provisions. of their Civil Procedure Code.

Sections 2 and 3 of the Suitors' Funds Ordinance, 1896, require that all moneys paid into court should be placed on deposit with the Treasurer and should be paid out by the Treasurer only on the requisition of the Registrar.

Under the existing practice moneys paid into court are paid by the Registrar into the account of the Government at such bank as the Treasurer may indicate and the Treasurer is informed daily of the amount paid in.

When payment out is required the Registrar issues to the intended payee a "Direction" (Form 4 prescribed by the Suitors' Funds Rules, 1923) requiring the Treasurer to pay to the person named therein a specified sum. The payee then takes the Direction to the Treasury where payment is made in accordance with the tenor thereof.

"

";

943

Individual ledger accounts for actions in connection with which payments are made into court are kept only by the Registrar, the Treasurer keeping merely an account dealing with the total amounts paid into and out of the bank as Suitors' Funds.

The keeping by the Treasurer of individual ledger accounts would, by reason of the multiplicity of items (largely small in amount), involve much labour and would be reduplication of work done in the Registry; but without the keeping of such accounts the present system affords no effective safeguard, as the Treasurer has no means of determining whether the sum which he is directed to pay is in fact payable to the person named in the "Direction".

The present system is cumbrous and involves labour in the Treasury and delay and inconvenience for litigants without affording any commensurate safe- guard.

It is considered desirable that payments into court should be dealt with in the manner in which they now are, but that payments out of court should be made by the Registrar direct to the persons entitled thereto, the Treasurer being duly informed by the Registrar of all payments into and out of court. The Colonial Trea- surer, the Auditor and the Registrar of the Supreme Court are desirous of making this change in this pro- cedure, which is in accord with that which prevails in the Country Courts in England.

The Ordinance has been submitted to the Secretary of State, Lord Passfield, and is in the form approved by him in his despatch of the 1st August, 1931.

Amendment

An Ordinance to amend the Full Court Ordi-

nance, 1912.

Be it enacted by the Governor of Hong Kong, with the advice and consent of the Legislative Council thereof, as follows

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Full Court Amendment Ordinance, 1931.

2. Section 5 of the Full Court Ordinance, 1912, is of Ordinance amended:-- No. 27 of 1912, s. 5.

Repeal of Ordinance No. 27 of 1912, s. 5A.

(i) by the insertion of the following sub-section

after sub-section (2) thereof.

(3) In all applications and matters inci- dental to an appeal to a Full Court consisting of three judges, whether prior to or subsequent to the hearing of the appeal, the Full Court may con- sist either of two or of three judges.

(ii) by renumbering the existing sub-sections (3) and (4) as sub-sections (4) and (5) respec- tively.

3. Section 5A of the Full Court Ordinance, 1912, is repealed.

Objects and Reasons.

1. Section 2 of this Ordinance enables a Full Court of either two or three judges to deal with applications and matters incidental to an appeal to a court of three judges. Such incidental matters sometimes occur when the third judge is not available.

2. Section 3 repeals a provision introduced into the principal Ordinance by Ordinance No. 39 of 1912, the effect of which is now spent.

An Ordinance to amend further the Registra- tion of United Kingdom Patents Ordinance, 1925.

1. This Ordinance may be cited as the Registration of United Kingdom Patents Amendment Ordinance, 1931.

2. The Registration of United Kingdom Patents Ordinance, 1925, as amended by the Registration of United Kingdom Patents Amendment Ordinance, 1928, is amended by the addition of the following paragraph at the end of section 8:

"Such grounds shall be deemed to include the manufacture, use or sale of the invention in Hong Kong by some person or persons other than the holder of the certificate prior to the date of the issue of the patent in the United Kingdom, but not to include the manufacture, use or sale of the invention in Hong Kong by some person or persons after the date of the issue of the patent in the United Kingdom and prior to the date of application for regis- tration under section 3."

Objects and Reasons,

1. This Ordinance amends the principal Ordinance (No. 13 of 1925) as amended by Ordinance No. 10 of 1928, in accordance with the instructions given by the Secretary of State in his despatch of the 12th September, 1931.

2. The effect of the amendment is to add a paragraph to section 8 of the principal Ordinance which will make it clear that the public use in Hong Kong of a United Kingdom Patent by the owner thereof prior to his application for registration will not be a bar to such registration.

3. Rule No. 1 of the Rules made by the Registrar of Patents under section 11 of the principal Ordinance and published in the Government Gazette of the 5th February, 1926, is also being amended for the same purpose as directed by the Secretary of State.

SCHEDULE.

[8. 7 (2).]

BETTING DUTY REGULATIONS.

1. The Provisions (including the penal provisions) of the Stamp Duties Management Ordinance, 1911, shall apply to stamps used for denoting Betting duty.

2. The secretary of every club organising a cash-sweep or conducting a totalisator or pari-mutuel, in the Colony, or acting as agent in the Colony for the allocation of chances in a cash-sweep organised outside the Colony, shall draw up for the Collector of Stamp Revenue a statement showing --

(i) the number of tickets sold and the amounts received in respect of the totalisator or pari- mutuel betting on each race;

- 1198

(ii) the number and value of cash-sweep tickets

sold;

(iii) the number and value of cash-sweep chances allocated otherwise than by ticket in respect of each race.

3. In the case of a club acting as agent as aforesaid which is permitted to issue lists instead of tickets, the statement shall be drawn up and delivered to the Collector before the lists of numbers allocated are despatched from the Colony.

4. In the case of cash-sweeps conducted by a club organising the race and in the case of bets on any total- isator or pari-mutuel the statement shall be drawn up and delivered within fifteen days after the day on which the race is held.

5. In all other cases the statement shall be drawn up and delivered within three days after the day on which the race is held and before any money is distributed among the contributors or subscribers.

6. The Collector, or any person generally or specially authorised thereto by him in writing, may at all reason- able times require from the secretary of every such club the production at such place as he may direct of any books, accounts, vouchers, lists, counterfoils or other documents relating to any totalisator, pari-mutuel or

sweep.

7. The duty required to be paid under the Betting Duty Ordinance, 1931, shall be deemed a debt and may be recovered in the same manner as Crown rents, assess- ments, fees or forfeitures are recovered under the Crown Remedies Ordinance, 1875, upon certificate purporting to be under the hand of the Colonial Treasurer.

8. Unless by agreement between any club and the Collector for the payment of duty in any other manner, the duty shall be paid by stamps affixed printed, embossed or impressed by the Collector ou each ticket or counterfoil and on each list provided for in section 4 of the Betting. Duty Ordinance, 1931, before any such ticket or list is issued.

9. The Collector may prescribe forms for use under these regulations.

Objects and Reasons.

1. The object of this Ordinance is stated in its long title.

2. In the Straits Settlements and Federated Malay States a similar object has been effected by amendment to the Stamp Ordinance and Stamp Enactment respectively. In Ceylon a special Ordinance, the Betting on Horse- racing (Taxation) Ordinance, 1930, has been preferred.

3. Section 2 of this Ordinance replaces section 18 of the Gambling Ordinance, 1891, as enacted by the Gamb- ling Amendment Ordinance, 1930, which dealt with club sweepstakes. In this Ordinance the word "cash-sweep", which is the name usually employed in the Colony for subscriptions towards cash prizes to the holders of suc- cessful numbers in numbered chances, is used to denote the form of sweeps which are to be subject to the duty and the word "sweepstakes", which is used in section. 9 (1), is reserved for the racing term which is used for the subscriptions contributed towards the prizes for the owners of winners and placed horses or ponies in such races as the Hong Kong Derby.

In this Ordinance the word "cash-sweep", which is the name usually employed in the Colony for subscriptions towards cash prizes to the holders of suc- cessful numbers in numbered chances, is used to denote the form of sweeps which are to be subject to the duty and the word "sweepstakes", which is used in section 9 (1), is reserved for the racing term which is used for the subscriptions contributed towards the prizes for the owners of winners and placed horses or ponies in such

Objects and Reasons.

1. This Ordinance represents generally the Fill drafted by the Committee appointed to report on measures required for the institution of Juvenile Courts in Hong Kong. The provisions recommended by the Committee, in the matter of associating Justices of the Peace with the Magistrates for the trial of juvenile offenders have been omitted from section 3, as it was felt by the Government after careful enquiries that the time is not ripe for prescribing such association and in particular that the Colony is not yet ready for the appointment of women - Justices of the Peace. Section 19 (4) has also been enlarged to make provision for the detention of remanded or convicted persons only in places suited to receive them.

2. The Ordinance is based partly on the relevant provisions of the Probation of Offenders Act, 1907, the Children Act, 1908, the Juvenile Courts (Metropolis) Act, 1920, and the Criminal Justice Act, 1925, and partly on a model Bill which has been recommended by similar Committee in England.
