FEDERAL TARIFF
SHIPPING COMPANIES DEFEATED By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright Melbourne, Dec. 9. The full Court's judgment in regard to the Oceana ship's stores case unanimously held that the clause of the Federal Customs Act under which the action was taken was valid. An offence was not constituted by breaking the Customs seals when outside the 3 mile limit, but in bringing the vessel into port after tho seals had been broken. Judgment would be for plaintiff with costs. Penalties were inflicted, five pounds for entering the port with broken seals, and fifty shillings iEr using stores in port that were not entered for home consumption. This was a test case.
