I dont know whether It is n fresh edition or not. but I read the first edition of the Bible and it is as true uow as It was then. I will read section 340: " Iy the law of England no ship shall be deemed to be a British ship unless she belongs wholly to owners of the following description: 1. Natural born British subjects. 2. ersons made denizens or naturalIzed by letters of denization. or by act of laiiament. or the proper anthority in any British possession. 3. Bodies corporate established under and subject to the laws of and having their principal place of business In the United Kingdom or sonie British possession. If any person uses the British flag and assumeg the British national character on board any ship owned in whole or In part by any persons not entitled by law to own British ships. for the purpose of making such ship appear to be a British ship. such ship shall be forefelted to Her Majesty." Now. when the distinguished lawyer said the old book was ott of date.
