The County Courts Admiralty Jurisdiction Bill has
passed through the ordeal of committee. The bill, as
amend.ed, repeals certain Acts and parts of Acts which
give jurisdiction to justices, in Admiralty cases, and such
as reserve to superior courts the trial of certain causes.
In lieu thereof, power is given to auy county court to try
--as to any claim for salvage, any Admiralty cause
in which the value of the property saved does not
exceed one thousand pounds, or in which the
amount claimed does not exceed three hundred pounds,
as to any claim for towage, necessaries, or wages—any
cause in which the amount claimed does not exceed one
hundred and fifty pounds ; as to any claim for damages to
cargo or by collision—any cause in which the amount does
not exceed three hundred pounds,; and any case—no
matter what amount' -be in question—in which the'
parties agree to lay their case before the county court. No
jurisdictien is given in prize cases or such like matters.
Powers are given to the Crown by Orders in
Council, to vary courts and districts. The Court of
Admiralty may transfer a case pending in a county court
either to itself or to another court. Any person taking
proceedings in the Admiralty Court who might, without
agreement, have taken them in the county court, may not
be entitled to costs. The county court judge may be
assisted by nautical assessors, whom he may summon to
his assistance. Provisions are made for the judge's vaca-
tion, for the appointment, remuneration, attendance, and
removal of assessors, &c. It provides also that an agree-
ment made before the county court trial not to appeal
shall be valid. From the Admiralty Court there is no
appeal except to the Queen in Council.
