SEAL FISHERY ACT 1875 - SECT 1

1. When it appears to Her Majesty in Council that the foreign states whose
ships or subjects are engaged in the seal fishery in the area mentioned in the
schedule to this Act, or any part of such area, have made or will make with
respect to their own ships and subjects the like provisions to those contained
in this Act, it shall be lawful for Her Majesty, by Order in Council, to
direct that this Act shall, after the date mentioned in the order, apply to
the seal fishery within the said area or such part thereof as may be specified
in the order.

Her Majesty may, by the same or any subsequent order, limit the operation of
the order, and render the operation thereof subject to such conditions,
exceptions, and qualifications as may be deemed expedient.

So long as an order under this section remains in force this Act shall,
subject to any such limitation, condition, exemption, or qualification as
aforesaid, apply to the seal fishery within the said area, or such part as may
be specified in the order.

Her Majesty may from time to time, by Order in Council, rescind, alter, or add
to any order made in pursuance of this section, and make a new order in lieu
thereof.

Every Order in Council made in pursuance of this section shall be laid before
both Houses of Parliament within six weeks after it is made, or if Parliament
be not then sitting, within six weeks after the then next meeting of
Parliament, and shall also be published in the London Gazette.
