LvariRK CovR. — Took deposition of James Dunn, with rospact to a 

 I^ronch bri^, name unknown, comin<^ from La Scie, and robbing of salmon, 

 threat(iniin^' and abusing the Englisli. AVished to liavc treaty rights ex- 

 plained ; endeavored to do so.

 ther on.) 



GANDER BAY. 



Found a salmon net set after proper date, belonging to Robert Gilling- 

 Ham ; ordered it to be taken up. Also, found a trout net set in river, but 

 ill tidal waters. Is this legal? 



John Harris and otliers complained of the hardship of new clause in 

 Htdmon Act, altering tlie size of mesh. Fish running small in this river, 

 tiiey say they will catch none in the six-inch mesh. It is hard also, tliey 

 assert, for a poor man to have to set up-a new net. I think they have a 

 legitimate grievance, and am of opinion that the Salmon Laws require 

 careful revision; they do not appear to > me to' be drawn up by people 

 thoroughly acquainted with the subject..
