ORAL ARGUMENT OF SIR RICHARD WEBSTER, Q. C. M. P. 521 



Sir Richard Webster. — I do not think the evidence snpports your 

 inference, Sir; but that is not a matter we are discussing. You must 

 not take me as saying- anything to show that I accede to or acquiesce 

 in your view of the facts. 



1 entirely deny, you must understand, that that condition of things 

 is at all different from that which exists in the case of many other birds 

 and animals; and I say, submitting or surrendering in that sense is 

 common to manj^ other animals besides the seal. It is as common an 

 incident in the life of the salmon as it is in the life of the seal. It is 

 obvious, at this time of the day I should not be justified in attempting 

 to answer you at greater length than I have in the few words I have 

 addressed to you in reply to your question. 



I The Tribunal then adjourned till Tuesday next, June 6th. 1893, at 

 11.30 o'clock A. M.]
