JHAP. VII] MERCHANT SHIPPING 1189 time thereafter as may be fixed by such Act or Ordinance for the purpose. The next step in the emancipation of the Colonial Legis- lature from the control of the Imperial Parliament was made by the Merchant Shipping (Colonial) Act of 1869, 5. 4, which provided that— after the commencement of this Act, the Legislature of a British Possession by any Act or Ordinance from time to time may regulate the coasting trade of that British Posses- sion, subject in every case to the following conditions : (1) The Act or Ordinance shall contain a suspending >lause providing that such Act or Ordinance shall not come into operation until Her Majesty’s pleasure thereon has been publicly signified in the British Possession in which it has been passed. (2) The Act or Ordinance shall treat all British ships, Including the ships of any British Possession, in exactly the same manner as ships of the British Possession in which it is made. (3) Where by a treaty made before the passing of this Act, Her Majesty has agreed to grant to any ships of any foreign state any rights and privileges in respect of the coasting trade of any British Possession, such rights and privileges shall be enjoyed by such ships for so long as Her Majesty nas already agreed or may hereafter agree to grant the same, anything in the Act or Ordinance notwithstanding. These provisions are repeated in substance and wording by ss. 735 and 736 of the Merchant Shipping Act of 1894, while 5. 264 enables the Legislature of a British Possession to apply to any British ship registered in, trading with, or being at any port in the Possession, any provisions of part ii of the Act which would not otherwise so apply, thus enabling a Colonial Legislature to enforce the provisions of part ii of the Act dealing with masters and seamen in the case of British vessels not registered in the United Kingdom, and not therefore falling automatically under part ii, if they trade with the Colony. By ss. 366 and 367 Governors of Colonies are enabled to issue proclamations with regard to emigration ships which are given the force of Imperial law, and the same force is given to Acts passed under s. 264 of the Act.
