COURT OF APPEAL.
PEES 3 ASSOCIATION WellingioD, last night. The Court of Appeal delivered judgment in the ease of the Wellington cooks' and stewards’ award and various seamen’s awards in foroe in the oolony. The principal question was whether the Court of Arbitration bad power under the Act of 1905 to enfote its award upon Huddart, Parker and Co ’a and the Union S.B. Co.’s ships while those Bhips were either at sea or in a foreign port. The effect of the judgment, if allowed to stand by the Privy Council, will be to give this colony a status more approximating to one of the States of the Federation than to a dependency upon the BUprf me sovereign. The Court unanimously dec'dtd that the Arbitration Court has power to enforce awards on the Union Co.L vessels, it being a company with a New Zealand dom’oile, but as regards Huddart, Parker and Co.’d vessels, the Court also deoided unanimously that it being a company domiciled in Victoria, its ahipa were not bound by the Court of Arbitration awards, either in foreign waters, at sea, in New Zealand waters, or even in New Zealand harbors.
