APPENDIX. 13 



Sealed with my seal and dated at Halifax in the Province of 

 Nova Scotia this 3rd day of June, A.D. 1896. 



Whereas the schooner Frederick Gerring Jr., belonging to 

 Gloucester in the United States of America, and owned by one 

 Edward ]\Iorris, of that place, master mariner, has recently been 

 seized by the Captain of the steamer Aberdeen, employed in the 

 service of Canada in protecting its fisheries, together with her 

 cargo, tackle, apparel, furniture and stores for an alleged violation 

 of the fishery laws of Canada, and has by warrant been arrested 

 and placed in the Admiralty Court for the Province^of Nova Scotia 

 for adjudication and condemnation. 



And Whereas it would appear that the owner of said schooner 

 should file a claim to the property so seized and file a bond in the 

 penal sum aforesaid in order to enable him to file such claim. 



And Whereas the agent of the owner of said schooner on his 

 behalf intends to file a claim as required by law and is now desirous 

 of giving security in said penal sum to answer and pay costs 

 occasioned by said claims. 



Now know ye, that if the above bounded John A. McKasey, his 

 heirs, executors or administrators shall and will, well and truly 

 as such agent, file a claim as required by law and pay all such 

 costs occasioned by such claim, then this obligation shall be void, 

 otherwise the same shall be and remain in full force and effect.
