404 DEEP-SEA FISHING. 



It appears to ns that close-time for herrings beyond tlie 

 3-mile limit is inconsistent with this Article, and is 

 therefore abolished ; and we have reason to believe that 

 such was the intention in passing the Act, and tliat it is 

 so understood at the Board of Trade. 



The laws affecting our sea fisheries at the present 

 time, with the exceptions above noticed, relate only 

 to interference with the working of drift and certain 

 sean fislieries, to the maintenance of order among the 

 fishermen, and to the registration and marking of fishing 

 boats of all kinds.
