1847年4月10日,港府頒布一條防治海盜的條例(1847年),訂明英國軍艦與商船船長獲賦權搜查華人艦隻,並視攜帶攻擊性武器為海盜行為;翌年1月1日,英女王否決該條例。
On 10 April 1847, the Hong Kong Government enacted an ordinance (1847) for the suppression of piracy, providing that captains of British warships and merchant ships were empowered to search Chinese vessels and that carrying offensive weapons was deemed piracy; on 1 January the following year, the Queen disallowed the ordinance.
