His Humn is right as far as the sections purport to deal with piracies committed beyond The Colonial limits, but I am not prepared to say that
a case might not occur in the harbour or other waters within which the Supreme Court would have jurisdiction exclusively, or concurrently with the Admiralty. The Sections concur in so far within the Competence of the Local Legislation, and their effect would have been restricted to the limits of the local Jurisdiction : by the Operation of the Colonial Laws Validity Act 28 & 29 Vic.cop_63 (Colonial Laws Validity Act). The proposed legislation would have done no harm, & might have been of advantage; others would perhaps say so, adding that there

I felt, on looking further into this Ordinance, That the L.G.'s opinion of 12 Oct. 1868 (11212) renders it doubtful whether the custom of dealing
with piracies

On
The high seas, and punishing the harbourers & receivers of pirates & their plunder as offences

The L.G. report that Dostune the 3rd 4th 5th 6th Clauses of the Ordinance (10f-1868) which are the 5th 4th 6th & others Bill "much to custom as applicable to Offences Committed within the jurisdiction of the Legislature & that this is necessary & Just". The Ordinance is useful, and is made by the law officers as a means
for Preventing the Colony from becoming a refuge or haven for the perpetrators of crimes committed beyond the jurisdiction of the Legislature. I believe that it is rightly-founded the opinion above is wise to obtain definite authority _ a draft herewith
