ORDERS IN COUNCIL. 



CANADIAN ORDER IN COUNCIL, JANUARY 8, 1870. 



Copy of a Report of a Committee of the Honourable the Privy Council, approved 

 by His Excellency the Governor General in Council on the 8th. January, 1870. 



The Committee having had under consideration the reports of the 

 Minister of Marine and Fisheries dated respectively the 15th. and 20th. 

 ult., in connection with certain despatches from Lord Granville, on 

 the subject of protecting the fisheries of Canada, beg to recommend: 



That the system of granting fishing licenses to foreign vessels under 

 the Act 31 Victoria, C. 61, be discontinued, and that, henceforth, 

 foreign fishermen be not permitted to fish in the waters of Canada. 



Also, that six suitable sailing vessels, similar to "La Canadienne" 

 in addition to the two vessels at present employed, to be chartered 

 and equipped for the service of protecting the Canadian in-shore fish- 

 eries against illegal encroachments; these vessels to be connected with 

 the Police Force of Canada, and to form a Marine Branch of the same. 



They further recommend that Her Majesty's Government be 

 requested to maintain, on the fishing stations of Canada, a sufficient 

 naval force to prevent riotous combinations among foreign fisher- 

 men, and to protect the ofiicers of the police in the execution of their 

 duties. 



With reference to Lord Granville's proposal to support the local 

 force, by the presence of only one vessel of war, the Committee con- 

 sider this measure of support would be inadequate, and hope that 

 Her Majesty's Government may be induced to increase it.
