OFFICIAL NUMIJEH.S MY WHICH TO DISTINULlSll BHlTtSH SHIPS. 6. Under the Merchant Shipping Acts of 1854 and its amend ments, every British ship muht have a distinct number assigned to her, which is called her Otttcial Number, aiul by which sho may be known and recognized, irrespei-tive of her name or other description, and it is not to be confounded with her Port Number, which is simply tho number of her register for the year in which she is registered. 7. In the case of British Ships registered under the Merchant Shipping A ts 1854 to 1H7i5, the number will be allotted before she is registered, and must be engraven or permanently marked on her main beam in pui-suance of the provisions of the Acts; but in the case of British ships letaining their registries under former Acts, the Registrar of an}- jiort at which any ship not having her official number already marked, arrives, will write the number in figures and words on the Certiticate of Jlegistry, pretixing the words '• offi- cial number; " he will then affix the same number, in like manner to the registiy of the ship in the Kegister Book at the top of the Kegister if registered at his i)orl ; but if not, he will apprise the Registrar of her port of registry thereof, and such last mentioned Hegistrar will note it in the Eegisler Book. S. The scries of otHiial iuimliv> ;i])]»iied to shipping will proceed in arithmetical ])rogression ; and the same number will never be api)licd to two British ships. The numbers, for vessels registered in Canada, will Ix; under the control of tho Department of Marine and Fisheries, which will allot a series of numbers to every Eegistrar .:,- ii^ii'&ii i'ii^i.rr^.f^liu.i Uk fM' .C o IMAGE EVALUATION TEST TARGET (MT-3) k Zc ^ 1.0 I.I 1^ 112.2 150 IM 111112.0 1.8 1.25 1.4 1.6 ^ f," ► 1 p^ »«^«'*''-««""»-~^ ■ CIHM/ICMH Microfiche Series.

The Department of Marine and Pisheries will obtain from the Registrar General of Shipping and Seamen. London, a snpp'y from time to time, from which Eegisiraro in Canada will bosupjdied. For instance, to Kingston mav be allotted theseries from 75.000 to75,0!t9 ; to Saint John. N .B. 75,100 to 75.290; and so forth. to Halifax 75.300 to 75,440 9. A form of Book called the Appro))rialion Book is given in the A|)|»ropiin- Appendix. This Book will be furnished by the Department of Ma- ''"" '^•"''*- rine and Fisheries. The manner of using tju' numbers will be most easily understood by reference to the entries given therein; f<>i- instance, the " JohnBull " of Kingston. Ontario, is a siiip already registered; her Certificate of Registry is ])resentetl to the Registrar of Kingston (ui the 1st May 1875, and the Registrar writes on the Certificate the woitls and figures '• official number, seventy-five thousand" adding his initials, and then makes the same entrj- on the Register of the Ship. Having tiius allotteil a innnbcr to the "John Bull," he makes an entr}- in his Appropriation Book, by writing in the first column the mmiber "75.000"; in the second the name of the ship " John Bull ' ; in the third the tonnage of the ship " 200" ; in the fourth •' Steamer ' : in the fifth the port of Registry " Kings- ton, Ontario"; in the sixth, the date of her existing registry, " 14th November 187;{"; in the seventh the occasion of appropriation, viz: on "Certificate presented"; in the eighth, the date of the appropriation, • 1st May 1876." The next example is "the ship " Argus ' of Saint John, N. B. She is supposed to be a ship i-egistered for the first time under the Mer- chant Shipping Acts 1854 to 187il: the Registrar of that i)ort tliere- forn inserts in the se.onlli coltiinn. the words ' first registry." in all other res]>ef!fs the entries are nnidc in the same manner an those relating to the ' John Bull." The last example given is the '• Kortitude" of Halifax, N. S. She is supposed to have been registered before,, but without having been allotted an official number', .lud to have applied for regisiry anew under the Men-hant Shipping Acts 1854 to 18T:J. The entries in this ca,so corresjtond with the entries in the case of the "John Bull." except that in the seventh column the ifegislrar substitutes the words •• registry anew " instea'»ns i»n ajiplyin.u' f"i' registriition ofBi-itish sliips or shares tlicrein, must produce to the J{cgistrar the official evidence by which 'they becamo denizens or became na- turalized, and must also sot forth all the facts of tlie ovidonco in the declaration of ownership, to the truth of which they declare. -t' your port, iccordingly.

The Registrar having approved of the applicants' authority, the latter will lu-ocnre a survey to be made by the proper officer according to the instructions issued to Measuring Surveyors of Shijiping. Upon completion of the survey, the Surveyor will grant acortirtcate in the form marked A in the schedule to the Act. licfore the certificate of registry is delivered to the owner or mas- ter of the ship, it will l)e the duty of the Surveyor to ascertain that her name is marked on each of iier bows (and not on head boards), her name and the name of her port of registry is market on her stern, her official number and the aumbcr denoting her registered tonnage is marked on her main beam, and tluit a scale of feet denoting her draught of water is marked on each side of her stem and on each side of her stern post; and that the rules with respect to the proiior accommodation of the crew, as provided for by the Canadian Act, are fully complied with, and the numl)er of seamen that each space is in'tendod to accommodate, is properly marked over the door of such space, anil cut in a beam inside, and a certi- ficate thereof given to the Registrar of ShiiJjjing, without which no deduction for crew space can be allowed.

A form is also given for Joint Owners (who mujt not, wilh liie exception below, cx(,'Oc.d five in number) and marked B (5) in the Appendix. In (hecase however of shares transmitted by death or bankruptcy, the restriction to five Joint Owners does not hold gootl, as by the (iOth ncclion of the M. S. A. 1854 any number, howovor numerous, may be registered as Joint Owners. Joint Owners can only deal with their shares under the signatures of the whole numl)er so registered, cither in ])erson or by their duly appointed attorney. * In the case of the death of one or more .loint Owners, their interest passes to the survivors. In such case before any further dealings can take jtlace with the shares so held, the survivoi-s must i)rodm;e to the Registrar of the port of registry, a burial certiticatc, accom- panied bj- a declaration of identity (marked II. !> in the A](pendix) by some person ac(iuaintcd with the deceased, and thereupon the shards become vested in the names of the surviving Joint Ownei's only. Iftwoormorc Joint Owners are at diffeient j)laces, they can make their declaration separatel}- on the form marked li ((i) in the Appendix. The names of the declarants with their residence anil occup;ition should be given in full in the kxly of the declaration. The above described forms are intended for mitural-born British subjects only. For ntituralized British subjects who have qualified themselves by an Act of the Imperial Legislature, or by an Act or Ordinance of the proper legislative authority in any British jwssession, — and for I)odio8 corporate, two separate forms are given marked ii (2) and B * Qi) in the Appendix. The Registrar will point out to the applicant that as British sub- jects, or lx)ilies corporate established under and subject to British law, can alone hold shares in British ships, any mis-statement on this point will render the declarant guilty of a misdemeanor and the interest in respect of which the declaration is made is forfeited. lO. The Registrar will observe that the attestation of a Registrar SiKnuturc of (U- Justice of the Peace or British Consul is an essential guarantee *"o«"«n- to the declaration, and the Jtegistrar will take care that the official character of the ])ersi>n before whom the declaration was made is apparent on the document itself; if it is not he will not accept the declaration without the sanction of the Department of Marine and i Fisheries. mo. The documentary evidence by which the declaration requires Documentary to be supported is in the case of a British built ship, the builder's evidence, certificate alone, where the builder is also the owner, or whore ho Bnilders cor- states in his certificate the name or mimes of the i)or8on or persons ^1^5*4 g^' on whose account he built the shij) ; but in other cases, in addition ' > • • to the builder's certificate, there must bo produced the bill or bills of i :f " — •*m''--sf^,'"'?'!J?.:t llnH^H i 1 H 1 i, it( : li '■■ ill ■A "e sufficient. t 21. Tf the ship is foreign built, tjje Registrar may dispense with the builder's cortiticute if tho declaration states that the time and place of building of the ship is unknown to the declarant, or that the builder's certificate cannot bo found ; but he must pi-oduco to the Registrar the foreign bill or liiils of sale under which he acquired his title, and these should lrt of registry should also Ixj pi-oduced, showing the ownership, and that there were no nu)rtgagos or other encumbrances recoixled against any of tho shares of the said ship, at the time of such sale. Upon tho production of the altovo the Ilogistrar will then require the declarations of ownership and other evidence as in the case of a British ship. !3St. In the case of a ship condemned by any competent court, such as a Court of Admiralty or Foreign Court, the official copy of the condemnation must be produced, and is to be retained by the*^ Re- gistrar; and if tho party in whose favour the condemnation was made is not the person ajmlying to be registered, the intermediate bill or bills of salo from him to the poi-sons applying for registry must bo produced to tho Jtogistrar as evidence of title. Provision is also made for tho i-ogistry of a British or foreign shi2> or a ship under a Governor's Pass that has been actually or con- structively wrecked, and the register thereof closed, and the corti- cate of registry is delivered up to tho proper officer and cancelled. Ap])lication for registry will require to do made to the Governor in Council, through tho Department of Marine aiid Fisheries, and proof adduced to their satisfaction that all the transactions connected with the wreck, condemnation and sale of such ship were in good faith, that tho ship had boon thoroughly repaired and made bouworthy, a certificate for which would be roquircd under tho hand of ono or two respectable shipcarjientcrs or shipbuilders, such certificate to be cndoi"sed or approved of by the Surveyor, and upf)n all the other lequircments of the law being complied with, the Governor in Coun- cil may direct that such ship may be registered as a British sliip ; but no Registrar of Shipping should register any such ship witlunit the authority of the Governor in Council. HSi. U|ion the first registry of a British ship there are required the following documenfM in addition to the official application for registry before mentioned : — 1. A certificate of survey by the Measuring Surveyor of Shipping. 2. A certificate of inspection for crew space by tho Surveyor. 3. Tho builder's certificate, which requires to l>e signed by tho builder personally, and cannot be executed under a power of attoi-noy ; the signature of a firm will be sufficient, if a firm are tho builders, but, in tho case of a body corporate being the builder, the certificate should Ik) under the seal of such Inxiy corporate, duly affixed and attested by the signature of tho President or Seoi-etary, or as other- :nti' w owner has bo on the nt'cr on the [)on80 with > time and mt, or thai duco to tho le acquired isul ; and a of registry thoi-e wore any of tho production larations of ship. ictcnt court, I copy of the I by tho'^Ro- nnation was nterraediato for registry foroign ship lally or con- tid tho oorti- id cancoUod.

When the Registrar has satisfied himself of the accuracy of tlic al)ove documents, he will proceed to enter the particulars of the ship :n<\ the names of her owners in tho registry Vjook. The rules as to the entries of tho names, residence, occupation and number of shires of the owners aro given in the STth and 42nd ss. of the M. S. A. 1854. The ship is divided into 64 shares, and the number of separate owners is limited to 32. No fractional part of a share can be recoi-ded upon tho register of a ship. Entries of three description of owners can bo made, vijs: — Ist. An individual may be registered as owner. 2nd. Any number of individuals, not exceeding five, may be re- gistered as Joint Owners. Si-d. A company may be registered in its corporate name. But no entry can be made except in one of these three forms. In respect of the above rules however, Joint Owners constitute but one such ownership, and a body corporate is treated in the same manner. . , ■ x i. Joint Owners, it might bo observed, can only transfer the interests joint owners registered in their names by the consent of all the Joint Owners; if alive, all must sign the bill of sale. In the case of the death of a Joint Owner, his interest reverts to the survivore, and not to the representatives of the deceased.

Bills of Sale conveying title to British ships or shares there- in should always be accompanied by declarations of ownership when presented to the Registrar for record. After fii'st registry it is not considered necessary that the master's name and number of his cer- tificate should be filled in, as it is not always in the power of the declai'ant to do so. Declarations being entirely of a personal nature can only be made by the individual and not by his Attorney. A?; already mentioned, they should be made before the Registrar of the Port of Registry of the ship, if within five miles of the Custom House, or before any Registrar or Justice of the Peace if beyond that dis- tance, and if in a foi'eign country before any British Consular Offi- cer. The declarations will be the same as in the case of Individual Owners, Joint Owners, or Bodies Corporate on First Registry, with the exception of the master's name, &c., as above described. On the production of the Bill of Sale accompanied by tke proper declaration, the Registrar will make the entries in the Register Book, and will re-deliver the Bill of Sale to the transferee, having first endoi^ed thereon the date and hour of the entry.

In the case of partners, the whole of the partners, i^not exceeding five, or such of them as the firm Kelect, may be registered. In case of ships, or shares therein, held in ti-ust, it is for tlie beneficial owners to appoint any persons they ploase, not exceeding five, to be registered as owners ; and no Bill ot Sale should be received bvthe Registrar in which the purchasei-s aa-e described as co-partners' even though the parties consent to bo registered as Joint C-vi'-tsrs, j.. n * An illustration of a case of trust is affoi-ded bv transactions 3, 4 and 5 in form R3 in the Appendix. Suppose that Messi-s Cole & Co. aio the real purchasers often shares, and wish to appoint Christopher White, Caleb White and Ca>sar White, their trustees, the names of the latter are entered us joint owners. Tliev are then, an far as the Registrar is concernetl, absolute owners ; but no one ot them can part with the pi-opcrty without the concurrence of the others. Tlio beneficial owners, Messrs. Cole & Co., therefore run little risk of the commission of any breach of trust. Chnstophei- White dies, and Dennis Black is appointed a new trustee bv Messi-s. Colo & Co., and in order to get his name insertetl in the Register, Transactions 4 and 5 are completed, and thereupon Dennis Black Ijocomes registeretl as joint owner with the former trustees. Of the existence of the trust, the Registrar, of course, knows nothing ; his duty is confinetl to seeing that the requisitions of the Act are com- plied with, and to making fresh entries of the Register Book. 50. The Registrar will have no difficulty in applying this system P«tne™iuid (that of nartners and trustees as joint ownei-s) to cases where g^Vn- pei-sons have been registered as partners or trustees before the g^r (bnner passing of the Merchant Shipping Act .1854 or with reference to Acts, vessels registered under the Inland Registry Act, before the passing of the Canadian Act 36 Vict. chap. 128. In such an event the survi- ving or continuing trustees or partners will be consideroil as abso- lute owners, and the shares will be dealt with in the same manner which is mlopted in the Transactions number 3, 4 and 5 above ex])lained in paragraj)h 4y. 51. In Form 113 (in the Ai)pcn(Ux) is a specimen ofa page in the Bntriea in Register Book, the entries in which relate chiefly to transfers. The Form R. 3. transactions have been selected so as to illustrate various species of transfers of ships <»i- shares, und the corresponding entries. Iho several transactions are as follows : — • Number 1. John Jones, the original owner, sells fbur shares to Andrew Brown. r , t, u- Number 2. Andrew Brown sells four shares to John Robinson. Number 3. John Jones sells ten shares to Christopher White, Caleb White and C«)sar Wh'>e. as joint owners. , ,. , Numl)er4.

The ship is sold under the Certificate to a foreigner, and the regiBtiy is closed. I tK No. 1 Sale. 53. The transaction Number 1 is conducted as follows :— John Jones, on the 30lh of December 185(5, executes a Bill of Sale, ti'ansferring four shares to Andrew Brown. Andrew Brown produces the Bill of Sale to the Registi-ai- on the Ist January 1861, at 1 p. m., and makes a declaration of ownership in his presence. The Registrar then makt e entries appearing in the Foi-m R3 Number 1. Having made these entries he endorse n the Bui of Sale the following words : — 4 ' .. " Entered 1st January 1867, at 2 p. m. " John Smith, Registrar,"^ and re-delivei-s the Bill of Sale to Andrew Brown. John Jones having thus ijarted with four shares, the Registrar fills in the columns of the Summary as shown in R3 Number 1. The tmnsaction is now complete, and Andrew Bi-own is, so far as the registry is concerned, absolute owner of the fow shai-es in respect of which he is entered. 5S. Number 2 requires no detailed exi^lanation as the process is similar to that in Number I. 94. The peculiarity in Number 3 is that the Whites take as joint ownei-s. The Registrar, therefore, will enter their names as joint ownei-s in Column 7, inclosing them in brackets, and adding the words " joint owners ; " the result is, that the concurrence of all the joint owners, if alive, or of the survivoi-s or survivor, if any are dead, will be required in any dealing with the shares. No4 8urvi. «5. Transaction 4 reqnires attention. iChristopher White dies, vorship. and consequently Caleb White and Ca)sar White take the whole ten shares by survivorship. They cannot, however, deal with their * shares till an entry of Christopher White's death is made in tiie books. To meet such a case a certificate of burial, accompanied by a declaration of identity, should be pi-oduced, and retained by the Registi-ar. The necessai-y entries in such a case are shown in Form R :} in the Appendix, Transactions (4) and (5). No 6 Transfer 56. The peculiarity in Transaction 5 is that the two Whites, Ca- by surviving leb and Cft-'sar, convey their interest to be held in joint ownei-ship point owners j themsolvos and Dennis Black. The only difterence between this andawther' Bill of Sale and the previous one is, that in this case the Registiar will not require any consideration to be stated, and that the whole 0.2 Sale.

Certificates of Sale are statutory powers of attorney enibling ownei-s to effect sales of their ships out Ke countiy in Vhich thi port of registry is situate The rules Gelatine to these are contained in sections 11 to 83 of the Merchant ShiSg A^^^^^^^^ and a form of the certificate of «"1« '« g^^/" the^h&ule to the Act and marked N. A certificate of sale of a Ship registered in Canada, cannot be used in Canada. Klsteting the pi-ocess in detail, it might be well to remaik several particulai-s in reference to Certificates of sale. A Certificate of Sale, as above stated, is a statutory power of attor- ney by which the owners are enabled to sell the whole .h.i) at any port or place out of the country or possession m which she is regiB- S C Vuch certificate is not to'be granted for any partial sale of a ship.

Jamos Simpson and Stephen Malcolm would apply to the Registrar at Bombay, and produce to him the Bill of Sale, the Carti- ticate of Sale, and the Certificate of Eegistry. The Bombay Regis- trar would return the Bill of Sale to the purchaser, retaining the Certiticatos of Sale and J'egistry, for the pm-poses hereinafter men- tioned , but before dealing with them, he would register the " Victo- ry " anew at Bombay, without, however, requiring a now sm-vey to bo made. To the oi-dinary entries he would prefix the following:— " The ship " Virtory,'' jormerly of London, )-eyistered anew, in con- sequence of a Sale daUd the \st day of May 1858, made by James Simpson, attorney for John Jones and others, owners, under a tertijicate of Sale, dated the Ibth January 1858." Having completed this part of the transaction, the ik)mbay Registrar would make an indorsement on the Certirtcate of Sale and on the Certiticuto of Registry to the following ottect :— " Bombay, 1st May 1858. /, the that tlut wi of this port, n,^,^,v^^.'^- V-— ^ ^ a person not qualified to own British Shippiny, as the case may be.) {Signed) Registrar." And having done this, he would take the tirst opportunity of forwarding the certificates to the Registrar of the port of Registry, viz : London. On the anival of the certificates in London, tho London Registrar would conclude the transacti(jn,'aiid close the registry of the ship '' Victory,' by making in the Register Book the entry to the following effect : — " Sold to Stephen Malcolm, at Bombay, on the 1st May 1858, and Registry closed." If no sale is made under the certificate it must be turned to the port of registry, and retained and caucelled by the Registrar. In that case he will enter in column 8, opposite the entry of the certifi- cate, the words " Cancelled the day of 18 no sale having been made." The ownera of the ship or their uttornej should be particular in retm-ning the Oertificate of Sale to the Registrar t)f the Port of Registry, in tho event of No Sale having been made, or the time for which the powers were conferred having expired, as Ihe incumbrance of tho outstanding Certificate of Sale might interfere with any subsequent dealings with the ship. (( tThe duty of the Consul at a Foreign port with respect to the endorsements on, and forwarding of the Certificates of Sale and Registry to the Registrar of the Port of Registry of a ship, is similar to that imposed upon tho Registrar at a British port. Ipt will be observed that, in tho instance given, the ship '• Victory" is supposed to be free from incumbrances. If such incumbrances exist the M- S. A. provides that they shall not be affected by the sale, and directs that they shall be entered on the certificate, and 16 > ,( ' Proceodins[8 before the Re- gistrarat oinbay.

In ]ioint of fact, therefore, to the extent of the mortgJige, two registries would be in cxistcuco at the same time, namely the one in London and the one in Bombay ; while as res])ects the ])urcluiser, the consequences would \h.i most prejudicial, fbi- the mortgagee might at any moment e.xcrcisc his power of sale and thereby entirely defeat the title of the purchaser. Dcaliiip may The issue of a cortiticalc, whether f>f sale or mortgage, does not tnkp pmco At'- pivvent sub8e([uent dealings with the ship by a prior mortgagee, or o^cprtificfttes ^'^^"^ '^.V "■" "wner, so long jw no title to the ship is completed under of either Snle the certificate, or mortgage. No injustice can arise fiom *he fact that various titles niay thus appear on the Register at the sanie time, since every ])or8on who advances money or ]Mirchases upon the strength of a title which is liable to bo defeated Ity a prior iiK-umbrance, must in all cases have, at the time ho ailvancos moue}' or purchiwa-i, full notice of the prior incumbrance, and ought therefore to bo fully aware thut his own title is liable to bo dofeatotl. In regai-d to unmortgagocl vessels, no harm can arise from permit- ting the record of bills of sale and mortgages, while a Certifacato of Sale is outstanding, as it appears quite clear from tho terms of sec- tion 81, clauses 5, 6, and 8, that tho purchaser under the cortiticate would, according to tho strictest construction of the words of the Act, and almost without reference to its general policy, have a clear ])riority. When, however, the general policy is considered, all doubt must bo set at rest. The Merchant Shipping Act does nor give an indefeasible title to the ship to the person whost^ namo appoai-s on the Register, as against claims of which he ba.sfull notice. What it does give to the jierson whose namo is on tho Register is tho power of convoying an indofeasiblo title to a bona fide innocent purchaser or mortgagee. A purchaser oi- mortgagee who has, l)y tho Register itself, notice of a ])rior claim, or possibility of claim, cannot as against that claim l>e a bona fide innocent jjurchawcr, and cannot therefore get an inde- feasible title. It is, bo''ev<'r, obvious that persons who purchase or advance money under such circumstances are liable to voiy great risk, and the Hegistr; rs should make it their business to point out the risk.

The Registrar, having entered the revocation as shown in Trans- action 10 in the Form R 4, forwai-ds the instrument to the Registrar at Quebec, who retains the document, making an entry in the man- ner shown in the last column of Form (R 7) in the Appendix, and R. 7. App. Transactions in Form R 5. gives notice to the Registrar in London, statin.;'; liiat the power given by the Certificate has not been exercised. The London Registrar on receiving intelligence from the Quebec Registrar, makes a note in his book to the effect shown in column 14 of Fonn R 4, Trans- action 10. It will be obsei-ved that John Lewis, who granted the certificate, is the person who revokes it. But if his interest had passed to any other person, or pei-sons, e. g., a pnrchaseV, oi- assignees in bank- ruptcy, or executors, and they had been duly registered, they might exercise the jwwer of revocation no less than John Lewis himself.

The Registrar will not in any case recognize the title of any other person : he will lea^■e it to the executor or administrator, b3' executing a Bill of Sale in favoui- of the person entitled under the will or upon the intestacy, lo clothe such person with a right to be rcgistereil as owner. The oKocutor or administrator is, in short, for the purj)0808 of registry, the absolute owner. Transactions (1) and (2) in Form H 5 in the Appendix, relate to a ciiso where there is a will by which the property passes. In that case John Jones dies, having niiule his will datwl 1st December 185<5, whereby he bequeaths the ship "Victory "to Anna Brown, and appoints Thomas Smith his executor. Thomas Smith proves the will in the Prerogative Court of ' J.-uitorbury, and having produced the probate to the Registrar, is .loretl as owner, without any notice of his capacity of executor, as «hown in Transaction L '7H.
