Section 251

The Governor in Council may, be order, prescribe the limits, either by area or destruction of vessels, of the jurisdiction of any Courts over vessels in North Borneo but subject to any such order where any area within which any Court has jurisdiction under this Ordinance for any purpose whatever is situate on the coast of any sea, or abutting on or projecting into any bay, channel, or other navigable water, such Court shall have jurisdiction for the purposes of this

Ordinance over any vessel being on, or lying or passing off, that coast, or being in or near that bay, channel, or navigable water, and over all persons on board that vessel or for the time being belonging thereto, in the same manner as if the vessel or persons were within the limits of the original jurisdiction of the Court.
