Guinea

Laws Of Papua And New

THE work of consolidating and reprint ing the laws of Papua and New Guinea has been going on for two or three years.

It was officially announced recently that the consolidated reprint will consist of four volumes of textual matter and one index volume in respect of each territory.

Four annotated volumes containing the complete text of New Guinea laws from 1921 to 1945 and two annotated volumes

of the laws of Papua from 1888 to 1945 have been printed and are available in the Territory for purchase by any person requiring them and they are also avail able from the Department of External Territories, Canberra.

The remaining two volumes of Papuan texts are expected to be available shortly, after which the index volume of both territories will be published.

A commencement has been made with the amalgamation and revision of the laws of the two territories, but this will take considerable time to complete.
