The Short Title of this Act is “The Conspiracy Law Amendment Act, 1894.”

An agreement or combination by two or more persons to do or procure to be done any act in contemplation or furtherance of a trade dispute between employers and workmen shall not be deemed to be unlawful so as to render such persons liable to criminal prosecution for conspiracy if such act committed by one person would not be unlawful.

Nothing in this section shall affect the law relating to riot, unlawful assembly, breach of the peace, or sedition, or any crime against the State or the Sovereign.

No person employed by a local authority, or by any company or contractor upon which or upon whom there is imposed by statute the duty, or which or who have otherwise assumed the duty, of supplying any city, borough, town, or place, or any part thereof, with gas, electric light, or water, shall combine or agree with any other person or persons to leave, without due notice, the employ of such local authority, company, or contractor, if the effect of such combination or agreement may reasonably be expected to be that the inhabitants of such city, borough, town; or place, or part thereof respectively, will be for any time deprived wholly or to a great extent of their supply of gas, electric light, or water.

Every person who shall combine or agree in a manner forbidden by this section shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding ten pounds, or to be imprisoned for a term not exceeding one month with or without hard labour.

The several Acts of Parliament enumerated in the Schedule shall cease to have any force in the colony from and after the commencement of this Act.
