358. In every enactment in force in Samoa every reference to the trial of offences by way of indictment or by way of summary proceedings shall, in the application of that enactment to Samoa, be construed as a reference to the trial of such offences by the High Court in the ordinary course of its criminal jurisdiction and procedure.

359. (1.) The Copyright Act, 1913, shall apply to Samoa in the same manner in all respects as if Samoa was part of New Zealand, and the term “New Zealand” as used in that Act shall, both in New Zealand and in Samoa, be construed as including Samoa accordingly.
     (2.) The High Court shall have no jurisdiction in civil proceedings under that Act.

360. (1.) The Patents, Designs, and Trade-marks Act, 1911, shall apply to Samoa in the same manner in all respects as if Samoa was part of New Zealand, and the term “New Zealand” as used in that Act shall, both in New Zealand and in Samoa, be construed as including Samoa accordingly.
     (2.) The High Court shall have no jurisdiction in civil proceedings under that Act.
     (3.) All patents in force in New Zealand at the commencement of this Order shall extend to and be in force in Samoa in the same manner as in New Zealand.

362. (1.) Save where otherwise provided by this Order or by any Ordinance, the legal capacity of a married woman, whether contractual, proprietary, testamentary, or of any other kind whatsoever, shall be the same as that of an unmarried woman, and marriage shall not, save in respect of intestate succession, confer on either party thereto any rights to or in respect of the property of the other.
     (2.) Nothing in this clause shall affect the validity or operation of a restraint on anticipation.
