CHAP. VII] MERCHANT SHIPPING 1199 was intended to apply.” The judge went on to point out that this interpretation was in accordance with the state of tacts which must be taken to have been within the knowledge of the British Legislature at the time s. 5 was passed. It was known that a shipping trade carried on by ships owned and registered in Australia and manned and officered by Australian citizens had for many years existed in Australia and was rapidly increasing, and that it extended to New Zealand, the Pacific, and Indian ports. It was reasonable to impute to the British Legislature an intention to place the ships engaged on round voyages in such a trade in the same position as regards Australian laws as the ordinary British ship holds in regard to British laws, namely, that while on a voyage coming within the meaning of the section the Australian ship should be for the purposes of Common- wealth laws! a floating portion of Commonwealth territory. If the voyage were of that description it was immaterial to what part of the world it might extend. If it were a round voyage beginning at an Australian port, calling at Calcutta, or any foreign port, and ending in an Australian port, the ship during the whole voyage would be under the Common.- wealth laws and under the jurisdiction of the Commonwealth Courts. He held on the evidence that the voyages in which the ships in question were engaged were not such voyages. The effect of this judgement is seen in the Navigation Bill of the Parliament of the Commonwealth of 1910, masmuch as a new definition has been introduced in s. 5, namely : ‘ Australian trade-ship * includes every ship (other than a limited coast-trade ship, or river and bay ship) em- ployed in trading or going between places in Australia, and ery ship employed in trading between (a) Australia, and * Such laws might be those regarding coloured races (s. 81, xxvi), or immigration and emigration (xxvii), influx of criminals (xxviii), external affairs (xxix), relations with islands of Pacific (xxx), trade and commerce with other countries and between the states (especially if extended to all rade and commerce as proposed in the Bill of 1910), naval and military defence (vi), lighthouses, &e.
