I T Simeon McLoud, of Gloucester, Commonwealth of Massachu- 

 setts, in the United States of America, on my oath do say I am a 

 fisherman, and in the course of my calling during the last fourteen 

 years have entered many places and ports in Nova Scotia for the 

 purpose of buying bait to be used by the vessel I was on in the deep- 

 sea fishery. 



I further say we were always freely allowed to purchase what bait 

 we wanted, and before this year I never heard of or knew an instance 

 where such vessel lying to or anchoring within the three-mile limits 

 of the coast for such purpose was required to report at the nearest 

 custom-house, or to make entry there, or was warned off. I have been 

 in at the following places on that coast, viz: Wood Harbor, Green 

 Cove, John's Island, Rayton's Island; and further says not.
