cuAP. 111] TREATMENT OF NATIVE RACES 1061 commencement of the principal Act can be repealed or modified, and he can also apply to the Islands any law in force in New Zealand either in whole or with modifications, sxcepting the laws relating to alcoholic liquors, the Licences Act, 1908, containing special provisions for this matter. The Customs Tariff applies generally, but can be modified by the Governor in Council. There is a High Court in the Islands except Niue, and there used to be Ariki’s Courts, which still exist except where there is a European Resident Agent, who now exercises the powers formerly exercised by such Courts.

In 1909 the expenditure of the two states was £26,000 and £4,400 respectively for 7,000 and 265 aborigines. In South Australia, on the other hand, the number of aborigines in the northern territory is unknown; in any case it must be very considerable, and the provisions made for their control have, in view of the almost total lack of administration in any but a small portion of that territory,
