A DIE CANADIAN fishery business seems to be interminably bother. some.The Canadian .contention is based Vali the Words of the treaty which saysthat British jurisdiction shall e's,tend to all bays and estuaries and for three miles from the het d'end points of the coast. We may not be giving the exactl wording, but +the idea is distinctly stated that the bays .aud estuaries of a coast afle not included in, the three-mile limit. That is, that British waters extend for three miles from one headland and that ar. straight line from that to ,' three miles out from another head- land is the boilndary. This.•in soul raises gives ten, twelve, or more miles of water in a bay •'besides the three miles. The Aineiicans con- ! tend the three=utile limit should follow the • indentations of the • Canadian shore.' The Ameri- cana • hold. the other • doctrine with regard to the ,fisheries off the Florida coast, but it is .doubtful if in their ease it Will, hold good,• as there ie. no special treaty with Spain giving theta the exclusive fishing ;rights ovor the Lays as •well as over the three-mile • coast limit. It• is pointed out as interesting that while the United States,:is on record as `favoring the. drawing.of a line from headband to headland, as. in lie'• dealing with Spain and .other couu- tries., 'Great Britain can be shown as favoring the boundaries of the juris `diction.' of a country by defining thein as following the indentations of the coast.; Aswlien the Areative, Repablic•insisted iu claiming juris- diction at the mouth" of the river` 'Rio 'De La Plata as extending from 'headland'. to headland,•-•1l'u'gland strenuously 'opposed it. .Brit the action in neither of these cases gov- erns the Canadian .fisheries, case; for the treaty cl'eeurnent expressly •(lives. rho; British. the jurisdiction we " are• contending' for, • To pl'eeedent,.cus- toin orusage can apply,: • '.EI:itZTORI LaNOTES.
