Janet:: Noble, Dominion Fish (e)nl-
miesiOner, it is alleged, was found to
novo freshly caught whitolislt and
trout In his fusee . on. Noble claim-
ed the fish were caught in the open
season and had been kept over, but
the sinkers ch. .n they were fresh.
Even had they been caught in the
manner described, the offeitee Le none

Donk.. a fisherman of Killarney, was
caught with whitellsh and trout ut
his po..egsfon.
'rhe fish were all confiscated by the
officers, and the bolts which were
seized were liberated after the ofllcei:,
had obtained a receipt from tato own-
ers for then, which praclleetly means
that they are still in the hands of the
Government.
Capt. Duncan did not feel inclined

can food That the ILshery laws were
being violated, the result being a large
number of seizures, :orae of them oun-
sitered of the most important nature.
The largest number of infractkn►s of
the law consisted in catching whitefish
