Law concerning an increase of the punishment fixed by the Law 

 No. 56 of April 5th, 1888, 58, as far as illegal trawl fishery is 

 concerned. 



Illegal fishery by means of trawl, in Danish territorial waters (see 



Law No. 56 of April 5th, 1888, 1, No. 2), is to be punished with 



fines of from 500 to 4,000 Crowns, payable to the Treasury. 



585 In fixing the punishment regard is to be had to whether illegal 

 fishery has been carried out by means of steam, which is to con- 

 stitute an aggravating circumstance. The illegal fishing instruments, 

 including the hawser which has been used for the illegal fishery, as 

 well as the captured fish on board, are to be forfeited to the Treasury. 

 The vessel may be laid under embargo, in accordance with an eventual 

 decree to that effect, and sold to cover fines and costs. 



This Law is to take effect immediately. 

 Confirmed April 7th, 1900.

 tuted and appointed me Thomas Temple, Knight and Baronet, to be

 the harbours and seas thereunto belonging : 



Now therefore, to the end the Gospel of Jesus Christ may ~be 

 propagated amongst the natives ; His Majesty's interest in these parts 

 secured; and for the encouraging, and promoting of trade, and pro- 

 tecting His Majesty's subjects in their just rights. I have thought 

 meet to publish and declare ; and do hereby in His Majesty's name 

 will '? and require, that all persons whatsoever that shall come into, or 

 inhabit in, these parts of Nova Scotia or L'Acady etc. aforesaid, 

 shall observe and give due obedience to all laws, acts, statutes made, 

 and standing in force for the government of His Majesty's subjects 

 in his Kingdom of England, upon pain of their suffering the penalties 

 thereby appointed to the breakers thereof. And further being au- 

 thorised, and commanded to make such other acts, and orders as shall 

 from time to time be found requisite and necessary, for the better 

 regulating and carrying an end of planting, fishing trading, &c. in

 like to ensue in defect hereof, do also by virtue of the authority 

 given me as aforesaid make, appoint, publish, and declare these 

 ensuing orders to be observed throughout this country of Nova- 

 Scotia, and L'Acady and the harbours and seas thereunto belonging.
