And whereas by "The Merchant Shipping Act, 1876," it is enacted that when Her Majesty has power under The Merchant Shipping Act, 1854,' or any Act passed or hereafter to be passed amend- 'ing the same, to make an Order in Council, it shall be lawful for Her Majesty from time to time to

And whereas by an Order in Council dated 29th day of February, 1868, Her Majesty, to whom it was made to appear that the said rules for the measurement of the tonnage of Merchant Ships had been adopted by the Government of His Majesty the King of Denmark, was pleased to direct that the ships of Denmark, the certificates of Danish nationality and registry of which were dated on and after the 1st October, 1867, should be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in the said certificates of Danish nationality and registry:
And whereas certain modifications have been recently made in the rules concerning the measure- ment of tonnage of Merchant Ships in force in Denmark, whereby, from and after the 1st day of October, 1878, the allowance for engine room in certain steam ships will be estimated in a mode differing from that in force in this country:
And whereas it has been made to appear to Her Majesty that it is desirable to alter the said Order in Council, so far as the same applies or relates to the mode of estimating the allowance for engine room in Danish steam ships; Her Majesty is hereby pleased, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, to direct, as regards Danish steam ships that if the Owner or Master of any Merchant Ship belonging to the said Kingdom of Denmark, and measured after the said 1st day of October, 1878, which is pro- pelled by steam or any other power requiring engine room, desires the allowance for engine room in his ship to be estimated under the rules for engine room measurement and allowance applicable to British ships, instead of under the Danish rule, the engine room shall be measured and the allowance calculated according to the British rules.
