70 NORTH ATLANTIC COAST FISHERIES ARBITRATION. 



After the delivery on both sides of such printed case, either Party 

 may, in like manner, and within four months after the expiration of 

 the period above fixed for the delivery to the agents of the case, de- 

 liver to the agent of the other Party (with such additional copies as 

 may be agreed upon), a printed counter-case accompanied by printed 

 copies of additional documents, correspondence, and other evidence 

 in reply to the case, documents, correspondence, and other evidence so 

 presented by the other Party, and within fifteen days thereafter such 

 Party shall, in like manner as above provided, deliver in duplicate 

 such counter-case and accompanying evidence to each of the Ar- 

 bitrators.

The Tribunal shall take into consideration all evidence which is 

 offered by either Party.
