CHAP. TI) ADMIRALTY JURISDICTION 1349 >xercised by the Colonial Court of Admiralty, and no prize jurisdiction shall be exercised without special authority, which may however be given under the Prize Courts Act, 1894. Further, the Court has no jurisdiction to try under the Act any person for an offence punishable on indictment under the English law, and its powers as to the laws and regulations relative to the navy are to be those only which are conferred hy Order in Council. The legislature of the British possessions may declare any Courtof unlimited civil jurisdiction, whether original or appel- late in that possession, to bea Colonial Court of Admiralty, and may limit its jurisdiction territorially or otherwise, and may confer upon any inferior Court in the possessions such partial Admiralty jurisdiction as it thinks fit, provided always that any such law shall confer jurisdiction which is not by the Act of 1890 conferred upon a Colonial Court of Admiralty. All Colonial laws made in pursuance of the Act, or laws affecting the procedure in a Colonial Court of Admiralty in respect of the jurisdiction conferred by the Act, must either be reserved or contain a suspending clause, unless previously approved by the Crown! through a Secretary of State. The appeal from a judgement of any Court in a British possession in the exercise of the jurisdiction conferred by the Act after a decision of local appeal, lies to the Queen in Council, and the right of appeal can be granted in any case? and Orders in Council by the Queen or the Judicial Committee with regard to appeals shall be valid throughout all Her Majesty’s dominions. Rules of Court regulating the pro- sedure can be made by the same authority that makes rules for the ordinary procedure of the Court, but such rules must not relate to the slave trade, and can only come into opera- tion if approved by the King in Council, but when so approved shall have the same force as if thev were enacted As was the Canada Act (Revised Statutes, 1906, ¢. 141) regarding such jurisdiction in 1906. The Act, 54 & 55 Vict. c. 29, had a suspending clause. * Such an appeal lies from the Supreme Court of Canada as of right, Richeliew and Ontario Navigation Co. v. 8S. ¢ Cape Breton’, [19071A. C. 115; 30 in the South Africa Act, 1909. s. 106.
