CHAP. VII] MERCHANT SHIPPING 1195 and (b) vessels wherever registered, while trading on the coast of the Colony ; that for the purpose of this Resolution a vessel shall be deemed to trade if she takes on board cargo Or passengers at any port in the Colony to be carried to and landed or delivered at any port in the Colony. Passed unanimously. 10. Coasting Trade. A vessel engaged in the oversea trade shall not be deemed 50 engage in the coasting trade merely because it carries between two Australian or New Zealand ports, (a) passengers holding through tickets to or from some oversea place, (b) merchandise consigned on through bill of lading to or from some oversea place. Passed unanimously. Since that conference the Parliament of New Zealand in an Act, No. 36 of 1909, has legislated so as to carry out in its application to New Zealand the resolution of the con- ference by limiting to vessels coasting in New Zealand, or registered in the Dominion, the application of such provisions of the New Zealand shipping legislation which differ from the provisions of the Imperial Merchant Shipping Acts! The only point of any consequence in which the legislation of New Zealand as contained in the consolidating Act No. 178 of 1908 and in the amending Act of 1909, to which the royal assent was only given in March 1911 on a promise of amendment to restrict the operation of the provision to goods shipped from New Zealand, is open to criticism, is the pro- vision in s. 41, which requires that the conditions laid down by New Zealand shall regulate bills of lading wherever entered into in respect of vessels conveying goods to and from New Zealand. ' Bee Parl. Pap., Cd. 5135, pp. 72-83. * This provision is clearly contrary to private international law, though it has the precedent of the Harter Act of the United States. The Australian Act No. 14 of 1904 only refers to bills of lading in respect of goods shipped from the Commonwealth, and so the Canadian Act in 1910 (c. 61), and the Western Australia Sea Carriage of Goods Act, No. 26 of 1909 (Parl. Pap., Cd. 5135, pp. 50, 51), relate only to coasting trade in the state itself. See New Zealand Parl. Pap., 1911, H. 15, p. 1.
