pany, Limited relies on section 1 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, and on the case of R. v. Arnaud (9 Q.B. p. 806; and

L. J.

Q.B. p. 50). By the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, ship owned wholly by "Bodies corporate established under and subject to the laws of some part of His Majesty's Dominiona having their principal place of business in those Dominions

are deemed to be British ships.

The Company have doubtless an Office in Hongkong so conducted as to comply with the requirements of the law as to a place of business, that is to say, a place of business held

in the name of the firm where business is carried on on behalf of the firm by a person or persons in the pay of the firm, The Company have, I presume, also only one share registration

office, namely that at Hongkong.

In the case R. v. Arnaud, decided in 1864, but still the only quoted authority in the matter, it was held that a British Company incorporated in England by charter for the purpose of building purchasing and employing ships on certain specified coasts outside the Realm and also in the West Indies, was entitled to have them registered as British vessels under the then law as to the registry of vessels the property of a corporation although the individual members of the Company

might be foreigners.

Registration had in that case been resisted by the Customs Authorities and Sir F. Thesiger put forward all those arguments based on general policy and the inconvenience and impropriety of foreigners having interests in British ships which could be urged in the present case.
