cHAP. X11] LEGISLATION FOR THE DOMINIONS 1321 dently of this Act, though the limits within which such power can be exercised are not certain. There may be mentioned as due to international con- siderations the Foreign Enlistment Act, 1870, the Slave Trade Acts of 1824, 1843, and 1873, the Mail Ships Act, 1891, the Anglo-French Convention Act, 1904, the International Copy- right Act, 1886, the Geneva Convention Act, 1911, &c. There are again several Acts which provide for Imperial co-operation in judicial matters. The Bankruptcy Act! requires Courts throughout the Empire to render each other assistance in bankruptcy matters ; there have been a good many decisions on the Act, and it is clear that it makes a rule of law what would else be a mere rule of international comity. Again, an Act of 18592 provides for the superior Courts throughout the Empire submitting cases to other superior Courts to obtain a decision as to the law prevailing in that other part of the Empire. A similar Act? as regards foreign countries is dependent on treaties being made, and no treaties have yet so been made. Provision also exists ander an Act of 1859 4 for the examination of witnesses and so forth by any Court in one part of the dominions of the Crown at the request of another Court, if any case is pending before that Court on which the evidence of absent witnesses is desired. Acts of 1856% and 18706 apply the principles of this Act to cases of civil character and of criminal character pending in foreign Courts, with an exception in cases of a political character. Powers of making rules of court in these matters are given to the Judges of the High Court in the United Kingdom, but their exercise has been waived in tavour of the power of making rules already vested in Colonial Courts generally.
