APPENDIX F 261 



It is understood that nothing in these rules refers ... to Concep- 

 tion Bay, which was provided for by the decision of the Privy

QUESTION VI. 



Does the Treaty give the inhabitants of the United States the 

 same liberty to take fish in the bays, harbours, and creeks of 

 Newfoundland as it does in the bays, harbours, and creeks of

 to the Treaty coasts for the purpose of exercising the liberties 

 referred to in Article I of the Treaty entitled to have for those 

 vessels, when duly authorized by the United States in that

 not exercised concurrently, and it is so decided and awarded.

 siderations and enacting part of the Award as to Question V.
