CHAP. II] ADMIRALTY JURISDICTION 1353 of the Constitution Act, 1889, which was confirmed by the lmperial Act of 1890 (53 & 54 Vict. ¢. 26), is not sufficient to transfer these droits. In the case of the other Dominions it is doubtful whether there is any legislation sufficient to transfer the droits—for the transfer of such droits was not included in the Act of 1852 (15 & 16 Viet. c. 39), which authorized transfer of other royal revenues; but the whole Juestion is one merely of historical interest, for in point of fact the droits are not remitted to the Imperial Treasury, and the New Zealand Shipping and Seamen's Act, 1908, and the Commonwealth Navigation Bill alike purport to vest in the Dominions and the Commonwealth respectively the proceeds of all droits. In one set of cases with regard to merchant shipping legislation appeals do not lie to the Privy Council, but appeals lie from inquiries as to shipwrecks, &ec., to the High Court in England under s. 478 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, but no appeal is permitted from any order or finding on an inquiry into a casualty affecting the shipping registered in a British possession or from a decision affect- ing the certificate of a master, mate, or engineer, if it has not been granted in the United Kingdom or in. another British possession. Rules regulating such appeals can be made by the Lord Chancellor. and have then Imperial validity. In addition to the Admiralty jurisdiction conferred by the Act of 1890, a certain extended jurisdiction is conferred upon Colonial Courts by ss. 686 and 687 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, re-enacting earlier legislation, which is as folawe 686. (1) Where any person, being a British subject, is sharged with having committed any offence on board any British ship on the high seas or in any foreign port or harbour or on board any foreign ship to which he does not belong. or. not being a British subject. is charged ! In the Commonwealth, under the Navigation Bill, this appeal a to be intended to disappear as regards coasting and registered vessels ; ef. Canada Act. 1908. o. 85.
