1202 ADMINISTRATION AND LEGISLATION [PART V zoastal trade, then the arm of the New Zealand law was long enough to reach them. It should be noted that at the Merchant Shipping Confer- ance of 1907 no stress was laid upon this judgement by the Prime Minister of New Zealand, and the judgement has not passed without criticism. The Chief Justice has, however, in a recent case which is referred to below, re-asserted his sonviction of the soundness of the judgement. It will be observed that in that case the actual result of the judgement was to enforce New Zealand conditions only apon New Zealand registered vessels. But in a subsequent case the remark of the Chief Justice as to the powers of New Zealand with regard to the coastal trade was carried into effect with the result of conflict between an award of the High Court of the Commonwealth of Australia and the law of New Zealand. This case was that of Huddart, Parker wnd Company Proprietary (Limited) v. Nixon! In that case the plaintiff was a proprietary company incor- porated under the State of Victoria and owning steamships which were registered in Melbourne, although the company had agents and offices in New Zealand. These steamships traded with New Zealand and were engaged in the coastal trade. The seamen and officers were engaged on articles signed in Melbourne or in Sydney, which were for six months and fixed the wages of the persons employed. The wages were paid by monthly advances at Melbourne or Sydney, according to the place of engagement. The wages in question were in some cases equal to or greater than the current rate of wages payable in New Zealand, but were in some cases less than the current rate of wages. The wages were fixed by an award of the Commonwealth Court of Conciliation and Arbitration, which was constituted by virtue of the Common- wealth Conciliation and Arbitration Act, 1904. The Marine Department of the New Zealand Government claimed that while the ships were in New Zealand ports and while they were trading between two New Zealand ports, they were subject to the provisions of s. 75 of the Shipping and "29 N. Z. L. R. 657; see Keith, Journ. Soc. Comp. Leg., xi. 294-9.
