TREATY PROVISIONS RELATING TO FISHERIES 



taken thereon by the commanders 

 of Her Majesty's cruisers in the 



exorcise of their functions as jus- 

 tices of the peace. 



Article 11. 



If an offence is committed or 

 damage caused, the commanders 

 of cruizers of the nationality to 

 which the offender belongs, and 

 in their absence, the commanders 

 of the cruizers of the nationality 

 to which the plaintiff belongs, 

 shall estimate the gravity of the 

 facts brought to their knowledge, 

 and shall record the damage sus- 

 tained by the plaintiff. 



They shall draw up, should oc- 

 casion require it, in accordance 

 with the forms in. use in the coun- 

 tries of the two nations respective- 

 ly, a report as to the verification 

 of the facts such as it may result 

 as well from the declarations of 

 the interested parties as from the 

 evidence taken in the matter. 



This report shall be admitted 

 in evidence in the judicial pro- 

 ceedings to be taken thereon so far 

 as their powers extend by the com- 

 manders of the cruizers of the na- 

 tionality to which the offending 

 party belongs. 



Should the matter appear to be 

 of sufficient gravity to justify 

 such a step, the commander of the 

 cruizer of the nationality to which 

 the plaintiff belongs, shall have 

 the right if no cruizer of the 

 nationality to which the offender 

 belongs be in sight, to secure either 

 the person of the offender or his 

 boat in order to give them up into 

 the hands of the commanders of 

 the cruizers of the nationality to 

 which they belong.

 French cruizers shall administer 

 immediate justice within the 



trats, par les commandants des

 domniage cause, les commandants 

 des bailments croiseurs de la na-

 absence, les commandants des ba- 

 timents croiseurs de la nationa-

lis dresseront, s'il y a lieu, et 

 suivant les formes usitees dans 

 leur pays, proces verbal de la con- 

 statation des faits telle qu'elle 

 resultera tant des declarations 

 des parties interessees que des te- 

 moignages recueillis. 



Ce proces verbal fera foi, pour 

 la justice a rendre,dans les limites 

 de leur competence, par les com- 

 mandants des croiseurs de la na- 

 tionalite du delinquant. 



Si le cas lui semble assez grave 

 pour justifier cette mesure, le com- 

 mandant du batiment croiseur de 

 la nationalite du plaignant aura 

 le droit, s'il n'y a en vue aucun 

 croiseur de la nationalite du de- 

 linquant, de s'assurer soit de la 

 personne du dit delinquant, soit de 

 son bateau, pour les remettre en-
