1354 THE JUDICIARY [PART VI with having committed any offence on board any British ship on the high seas, and that person is found within the jurisdiction of any court in Her Majesty’s dominions, which would have had cognizance of the offence if it had been committed on board a British ship within the limits of its ordinary jurisdiction, that Court shall have jurisdiction to try the offence as if it had been so committed. (2) Nothing in this section shall affect the Admiralty Offences (Colonial) Act, 1849.1 687. All offences against property or person committed in or at any place either ashore or afloat out of Her Majesty's dominions by any master, seaman, or apprentice who at the time when the offence is committed is, or within three months previously has been, employed in any British ship, shall be deemed to be offences of the same nature respectively, and be liable to the same punishments respectively, and be inquired of, heard, tried, determined, and adjudged in the same manner and by the same Courts and in the same places as if those offences had been committed within the jurisdic- tion of the Admiralty of England : and the costs and expenses of the prosecution of any such offence may be directed to be laid as in the case of costs and expenses of prosecutions for offences committed within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty of England. Moreover, it is provided in s. 478 2 of that Act that The legislature of any British possession may authorize any Court to make inquiries as to shipwrecks or other casualties affecting ships or as to charges of incompetency or misconduct on the part of a master, mate. or engineer of ships in the following cases, viz. : (a) Where a shipwreck or casualty occurs to a British ship on or near the coasts of the British possession or to a British ship in the course of a vovage to a port within the British possession : (b) Where a shipwreck or casualty occurs in any part of the world to a British ship registered in the British possession : (¢) Where some of the crew of a British ship which has ' See 30 & 31 Viet. c. 124, 8. 11; 18 & 19 Viet. c. 91, s. 21. * Formerly 17 & 18 Vict. c. 104, s. 242, and 25 & 26 Vict. ¢. 63, s. 23, made provision, but inadequately, according to the decision in in re Victoria Steam Navigation Board, cx parte Allan, 7 V. L. R. 248 ; the defect was remedied in 45 & 46 Vict. c. 76.
