ARGUMENT OF SIR JAMES WINTER. 951 



SIR JAMES WINTER: Mr. O'Reilly, will you point out the places 

 where the regulations against bultows are in force? 



Mr. O'Reilly indicated Cape LaHune and Cape Ray. 



SIR JAMES WINTER : Now, on the coast east of Cape LaHune. 



Mr. O'Reilly indicated points in Fortune Bay and Placentia Bay. 



THE PRESIDENT : These are on the non-treaty coasts ? 



MR. O'REILLY : Yes. 



THE PRESIDENT : Are there any on the treaty coasts too ? 



MR. O'REILLY : There are very few. 



SIR JAMES WINTER: Do not the names appear in the regulations? 

 I think they do. 



MR. O'REILLY: Yes, I think they do. 



THE PRESIDENT: Will you be so kind as to furnish the names to 

 the Tribunal to-morrow ? 



MR. O'REILLY : Yes, Sir. 



JUDGE GRAY: Your contention is that this prohibition of bultows 

 extends largely to the non-treaty coasts and not to the treaty coasts ? 



SIR JAMES WINTER : Yes, to a far greater extent to the non-treaty 

 coasts than to the treaty coasts. I think No. 58, p. 764 of the British 

 Case Appendix, applies to the non-treaty coast. 



I see a number of these regulations on p. 764 55 and 56. 



THE PRESIDENT : 58 and 59. 



SIR JAMES WINTER : Yes, I referred to No. 59, but I see that there 

 are others. For instance : 



" 55. No cod-jiggers, trawls, or bultows shall be used inside of a 

 line commencing at a point one-half mile north of the northern head 

 of Salvage, thence east three miles, thence south to a line drawn east 

 from a southern point of Little Harbour Head, in Bonavista Bay." 



That is on the non-treaty coast. 



Nor shall any bultow be used before the 20th day of September in 

 any year, within four miles northward or westward of the shore, 

 including Green Island, Stone Island or Gull Island, and Cape 

 Island, between Black Head, Bonavista Bay, and Cape Bonavista; 

 nor within three miles northward or eastward of the shore between 

 Cape Island and Spillar's High Rock, in the vicinity of Cape 

 Bonavista." 



Then the next one is No. 56 : 



" Xo person shall use any bultow or trawl on the fishing grounds 

 in Trinity Bay between a line running south east from Deer Har- 

 bour (West) and a line running south east from Seal Islands 

 570 (East) nor inside of a line from Green Island, south east of 

 Ireland's eye and half a mile off Bonaventure Head; nor be- 

 tween a line running south east from Bonaventure Head (West) 

 and a line running south extending three miles from the shore 



JUDGE GRAY : It is hardly worth while. Are most of these on the 

 non-treaty coasts?
