No. 114. 1862, March 27: Newfoundland Statute, 25 Viet., Gap. 2. 



An ACT for the Protection of the Herring and Salmon Fisheries on the Coast of 

 this Island, and for other purposes. 



[Passed 27th March, 

 Whereas the Breed and Fry of Herrings frequenting the Coast of 

 this Island and the Labrador are often found to be greatly injured and 

 destroyed by the using of Seines and Nets of too small size or mesh, 

 and bv other unwarrantable practices; and whereas complaints have 

 been preferred to the Local Government of alleged depredations com- 

 mitted by the Fishermen frequenting these Coasts upon each other: 

 for remedy whereof, 



Be it therefore enacted, by the (Governor, Legislative Council and 

 Assembly, in Session convened : 



I. That no person shall haul, catch, or take Herrings in any Seine, 

 on or near any part of the Coast of this Island, or 01 its Dependen- 

 cies on the Coast of Labrador, or in any of the Bays, Harbors, or 

 any other places therein, at any time between the Twentieth day of 

 October and the Twelfth day of April in any year; and no person 

 shall, on or n^ear the Coast of this Island or its Dependencies afore- 

 said on the Coast of Labrador, or in any of the Bays, Harbors, or 

 other places therein, at any time, use a Seine, or other contrivance, 

 for the catching and taking of Herring, except by way of shooting, 

 and forthwith tucking and hauling the same ; Provided, that nothing 

 herein contained shall prevent the taking of Herrings by Nets set in 

 the usual and customary manner, and not used for in-barring or en- 

 closing Herrings in any Cove, Inlet, or other place,
