PREFACE.
In the present Edition Chapters J II., IV., imd V.
of the second edition have been sub-divided ; the
cases upon Practice are collected in Chapter XII. ;
those upon Costs follow in Chapter XIII. Addi-
tional matter representing the decisions of the
past live years has been embodied, mainly in
Chapters XII. and XIV. The history of the rule
as to division of loss has been removed from its
former place in the text to the foot (Note 1) of
Chapter VI.
To the Appendix have been added the Regu-
lations approved by the representatives of the
maritime nations at the Conference held at Wash-
ington in 1889 — 1890. It is anticipated that this
Code will, possibly with some modifications, super-
sede the Regulations (of 1881) now in force. But
some time must elapse before the change in the
law is effected, and it has been thought best not
to further delay the publication of the present
edition. The attention of the reader is called to

\T. PREFACE.
some of tlic points in which the Washington Regu-
lations differ from the existing Regulations, by
the footnotes referring to the new Code in the
A})pendix.
Upon a former occasion I ventured to remark
upon the growing complexity of the Regulations.
Since that date (1885) the alterations and pro-
j)osed alterations in the law have been in the
direction, not of sim2)lification, but further com-
plexity. It seems almost too much to expect a
North Sea smacksman to apply with success such
a law as Article 10 of the Regulations of 1884,
as altered by Order in Council, and explained
b}' The Tivcedsdale.
