TERRITORIAL WATERS JURISDICTION ACT 1878 - SECT 4

Provisions as to procedure.

4. On the trial of any person who is not a subject of Her Majesty for an
offence declared by this Act to be within the jurisdiction of the Admiral, it
shall not be necessary to aver in any indictment or information on such trial
that such consent or certificate of the Secretary of State ... as is required
by this Act has been given, and the fact of the same having been given shall
be presumed unless disputed by the defendant at the trial; and the production
of a document purporting to be signed by one of Her Majesty's Principal
Secretaries of State as respects the United Kingdom, ... and containing such
consent and certificate, shall be sufficient evidence for all the purposes of
this Act of the consent and certificate required by this Act.

Proceedings before a justice of the peace or other magistrate previous to the
committal of an offender for trial or to the determination of the justice or
magistrate that the offender is to be put upon his trial shall not be deemed
proceedings for the trial of the offence committed by such offender for the
purposes of the said consent and certificate under this Act.
