1356 THE JUDICIARY [PARI V a foreign country, if they are on navigable rivers,! and even in respect of foreigners whether on the high seas? or on a navigable river.? The jurisdiction did not by common law extend over a foreigner in a foreign ship in territorial waters, according to the famous decision in Reg. v. Keyn,* but this limitation was abolished by the Territorial Waters Jurisdiction det, 1878 (41 & 42 Vict. ¢. 73), which allows the offences to be punished as an offence within the jurisdiction of the Admiral, but the consent of the Governor of a Colony is necessary for a prosecution. It is doubtful if the provisions of this Act are essential for the Colonies, as the Act is in part declaratory, and in any case the judgement of the Central Criminal Court is not binding on Colonial Courts. Further jurisdiction on Colonial Courts is conferred by the Army Act, 1881 (ss. 154 and 168), the Coinage Offences (Colonial) Act, 1851, the Coinage Act, 1870, the Official Secrets Act, 1911, the Pacific Islanders Protection Acts, 1872 and 1875, the Foreign Enlistment Act, 1870, the Acts respecting treason (35 Hen. VIII. c. 2; 36 Geo. IIL. c. 7; 11 Vict. ¢. 12), the Extra- dition Acts, 1870 and 1873, which empower the Legislatures of the Dominions to create Courts for the hearing of such cases from which Courts appeals lie in the usual manner, the Fugitive Offenders Act, 1881, the Slave Trade Acts, the Act to enforce the Behring Sea award, 1894, and other Imperial Acts.b !

Dutch and other foreign vessels have been seized and condemned for fishing and other offences in territorial waters in Australia without invoking the terms of the Act. See also RB. v. Kahi- taska, 8 W. A. L. R. 154, which discusses the question of Admiralty juris- diction in territorial waters ; RB. v. Cunningham Bell, C. C. 72. * For such Acts cf. above, Part V, chap. xii.
