442 OYSTERS, AND ALL ABOUT THEM. 



I am of opinion that the Roach River Company are 

 doing all that, under present circumstances, they can pru- 

 dently do to cultivate and develop this fishery ; and further, 

 that there is every reason to anticipate its gradually be- 

 coming a most important source of supply for the oyster 

 markets. 



I have, &c., 



(Signed) H. CHOLMONDELEY PENNELL. 



The Assistant Secretary, 

 Harbour Department, Board of Trade.
