(C.) This Order in Council, dated 24th June, 1885, refers to the Order in Council of the 30th December, 1884, and recites that it was thereby directed that the above regulations should, as regards British fishing vessels and boats, when in the sea off the coast of Europe lying north of Cape Finisterre, be modified and added to, inter alia, as follows: As regards sailing vessels engaged in trawling, such vessels, if of 20 tons net register tonnage or upwards, and having their trawls in the water, and not being stationary in consequence of their gear getting fast to a rock or other obstruction, shall between sunset and sunrise either carry and show the lights required by Article 6 of the Regulations aforesaid, or shall carry and show in lieu thereof, and in substitution therefor, but not in addition thereto, other lights of the description set forth in Part II. of the Schedule to the said recited Order in Council of the 30th day of December, 1884. It further recites that the Admiralty and the Board of Trade have jointly recommended that the above regulations shall, as regards sailing vessels when engaged in trawling, be further modified and added to as follows:: As regards sailing vessels engaged in trawling, such vessels having their trawls in the water and not being stationary in consequence of their gear getting fast to a rock or other obstruction, if they do not carry and show the lights required by Article 6 of the Regulations aforesaid, or the other lights of the description set forth in Part 2 of the Schedule to the said recited Order in Council of the 30th of December, 1884, shall carry and show in lieu of the lights required by Article 6 of the Regulations aforesaid, or the other lights of the description set forth in paragraph 2 of the Schedule to the said recited Order, other lights as follows; that is to say A white light in a globular lanthorn of not less than eight inches in diameter, and so constructed as to show a clear uniform and unbroken light all round the horizon, and visible on a dark night, with a clear atmosphere, for a distance of at least two miles; and also a sufficient supply of red pyrotechnic lights which shall each burn for at least 30 seconds, and shall, when so burning, be visible for the same distance under the same conditions as the white light. The white light shall be shown from sunset to sunrise, and one of the red pyrotechnic lights shall be shown on approaching, or on being approached by, another ship or vessel in sufficient time to prevent collision. The order, thereupon, directs that the above Regulations shall, as regards British sailing fishing vessels and boats, when in the sea off the coast of Europe lying north of Cape Finisterre, be further modified and added to accordingly; that is to say, such sailing vessels shall, whatever be their tonnage, be at liberty to carry the substituted lights herein-before described in lieu of, and in substitution for, but not in addition to, the lights prescribed to be carried by such sailing vessels by the Orders in Council dated respectively the 11th day of August, 1884, and the 30th day of December, 1884. Sec. 72 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1854 (inadvertently omitted from the Summary at p. 28), is as follows :—No registered mortgage of any ship or of any share therein shall be affected by any act of bankruptcy committed by the Mortgagor after the date of the record of such mortgage, notwithstanding such Mortgagor at the time of his becoming bankrupt may have in his possession and disposition, and be reputed Owner of such ship or share thereof; and such mortgage shall be preferred to any right, claim, or interest in such ship or any share thereof which may belong to the assignees of such bankrupt. AS TO THE FORMS, TABLES OF FEES, &c. Respecting the forms specified in the Merchant Shipping Acts, and required to be used for the purposes therein mentioned, printed copies of the same are for the most part obtainable either at the Custom Houses or Mercantile Marine Offices in the United Kingdom, and may also be procured from those stationers or other persons at the outports, &c., who are authorised to sell the same under licence from the Board of Trade. The particulars to be stated in the forms when used for the legal requirements of the Acts are indicated in the statutes themselves, but in using those forms reference to the statutes is hardly needful, as they are, of course, conformable with them in every particular, being issued by the Board of Trade, pursuant to the Acts, and containing, as they do, sufficient instructions for filling in the proper details with all requisite adaptations. As most of the forms, &c., can be thus readily obtained in a shape adapted for immediate use on their being filled in with the required particulars it is not deemed necessary to insert them in this volume beyond one or two exceptional instances. The fees authorised by the Acts and payable in respect of duties performed, under the general supervision of the Board by Collectors of Customs, Superintendents of Mercantile Marine Offices, Surveyors, Inspectors, and other Officers, can also be ascertained at the Custom Houses or Mercantile Marine Offices above mentioned. Tables of pilotage rates demandable can usually be seen at the Custom Houses, &c The following is a List of most of the Forms specially mentioned in the Acts (irrespective of the numerous forms issued by the Board in connection with the various duties performed by the Board's officers). The figures in the last column show the pages in the Summary where the Forms are mentioned in the respective enactments.
