At the Court at Osborne House, Isle of Wight, the

Present:

THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by "The Merchant Shipping Act Amend-
ment Act, 1862," it is enacted that, whenever it is
made to appear to Her Majesty that the rules con-
cerning the measurement of tonnage of merchant
ships for the time being in force under the principal
Act have been adopted by the Government of any
foreign country, and are in force in that country, it
shall be lawful for Her Majesty, by Order in Coun-
cil, to direct that the ships of such foreign country
shall be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in their
certificate of registry or other national papers, and
thereupon it shall no longer be necessary for such
ships to be remeasured in any port or place in Her
Majesty's dominions; but such ships shall be deemed
to be of the tonnage denoted in their certificates of
registry or other papers, in the same manner, to the
same extent, and for the same purposes in, to, and
for which the tonnage denoted in the certificate of
registry of British ships is to be deemed the tonnage
of such ships:

And whereas it has been made to appear to Her
Majesty that the rules concerning the measurement
of tonnage of merchant ships now in force under
"The Merchant Shipping Act, 1854," have been
adopted by the Government of His Majesty the King
of Greece, with the exception of a difference in the
mode in certain steamers of estimating the allowance
for engine room, and such rules are now in force in
that country, having come into operation on the 1st
day of July, 1878, Her Majesty is hereby pleased, by
and with the advice of Her Privy Council, to direct
as follows:

1. As regards sailing ships, that merchant sailing
   ships of the said Kingdom of Greece, the measure-
   ment whereof, after the 1st day of July, 1878, has been
   ascertained and denoted in the registers and other
   national papers of such sailing ships, testified by the
   date thereof, shall be deemed to be of the tonnage
   denoted in such registers and other national papers,
   in the same manner, and to the same extent, and for
   the same purpose in, to, and for which the tonnage
   denoted in the certificate of registry of British sailing
   ships is deemed to be the tonnage of such ships.

2. As regards steamships, that merchant ships
   belonging to the said Kingdom of Greece, which are
   propelled by steam or any other power requiring
   engine room, the measurement whereof shall, after the
   said 1st day of July, 1878, have been ascertained and
   denoted in the registers and other national papers of
   such steamships, testified by the dates thereof, shall
   be deemed to be of the tonnage denoted in such
   registers or other national papers, in the same man-
   ner, and to the same extent, and for the same pur-
   pose in, to, and for which the tonnage denoted in
   the certificate of registry of British ships is deemed
   to be the tonnage of such ships: Provided, never-
   theless, that if the owner or master of any such
   Greek steamship desires the deduction for engine
   room in his ships to be estimated under the rules for
   engine room measurement and deduction applicable
   to British ships instead of under the Greek rule, the
   engine room shall be measured and the deduction
   calculated according to the British rules.
