1724 NORTH ATLANTIC COAST FISHERIES ARBITRATION. 



exclude them or we may not exclude them now. How can it be sug- 

 gested that we have done anything to lessen that sovi'ivi.irn right by 

 the liberty we have granted? I cannot even imagine it. My dif- 

 ficulty in dealing with Question No. 2 is not to answer the argument, 

 but to state my opponent's argument in a way which does not seem 

 to answer itself or refute itself. 



We have therefore got the right to exclude every alien except the 

 aliens specifically mentioned. But in this case the alien comes the 

 United States will forgive me for referring to them, for the sake of 

 the argument, as aliens the alien comes and says: You have given 

 me the right to come in in order to do something, it may be to trade, 

 or fish, or walk about, and I find it convenient to have other persons 

 assisting me in my privileged pursuit. My answer to that is : Very 

 good, you may bring in as many as you like of the same class as your- 

 self ; we have given the privilege to your class; we 'do not object to 

 you having all you feel that you can afford. There are 80.000,000 

 of you observe some moderation inside of that limitation, and even 

 then I believe that they would all be welcome. Inside of that limita- 

 tion we put no limit upon your right to bring as many servants as 

 you like. That is why I listened with some surprise to Wickham v. 

 Hawker. The United States says: I am entitled to bring my serv- 

 ants. Certainly, and then it quotes Wickham v. Hawker, where the 

 Duchess of Norfolk gives and Lord Suffolk gets the right to go and 

 hunt a stag and some ingenious lawyer says: You have the right to 

 hunt the stag, but you must do it all yourself. Well, hunting stags 

 in complete solitude is not a very engaging or inspiring entertain- 

 ment, and Lork Suffolk said: Well, what about carrying the stag 

 away ? He brought some persons on the ground to help him to carry 

 the stag away. The ingenious lawyer, acting for the Duchess of 

 Norfolk, said : You have no one to help you to carry the stag away ; 

 you must hunt him, and kill him perhaps 10 or 15 miles away from 

 home, but if you want to carry him away you must do it yourself. 

 As Lord Suffolk had got the right in order to enjoy himself, there 

 was not much prospect of enjoyment left in a hunt which was to be 



conducted by one person of a quarry five or six times his own 

 1043 weight which he had to carry home himself. So, the law was 



not baffled by these ingenious suggestions of course, as such 

 a grant as that carries with it the implied right as it is to take a 

 profit, it being not merely fun but hunting for profit as well as 

 amusement of the grantee, Lord Suffolk, to have with him such 

 persons as are necessary for the full enjoyment of his right and for 

 the taking of the profit that he had acquired. It is perfectly simple. 

 But what on earth has that to do with this case? We are not saying 

 that the United States cannot bring persons to take their fish away. 

 They may bring 80,000,000. All we are saying is: We have told
