with the interests of the packers to shut down at all, The season might be shorten- ed but it should never do to close the industry. There is $500,000 invested tn plant, and thousends are employed in.the factories; and it would not do to elose down.

Howack Haszanp thought that a fishing acason of less than ninety days would be useless to packers. Twenty days out of the season, at least, would be iost on ac- count of high winds, Sundays, ete., and no “money could be made in less than seventy days fishing.

A. F, Lanxins said it wonld be ruin-

ous to have a shorter season than ninety days, and a full year’s notice should be given before even that change was made. If the lobster fishing is closed down as threatened, there is no doubt in the world that the Government will have a population on their hands to faed. He thought the packers and the wardens of each locality might agree upon a season ta fish ingwhich should in no case be less than ninety days.

Auexanper McKinnon wished to know if there were really any good grounds for the report that the fisheries were about to be shut down. It would, he thought, be ridiculous te pass a resolution on tho mere report of a newspaper. Perhaps Dr. Jenkins could throw some light upon the matter.

Dr. Jenkins said that while in Ottawa last fall, he conversed with the Deputy Minister of Fisheries, but heard nothing, whatever, about shutting down the factories. No good government would, he felt sure, do such an arbitrary act, with- out, at least, giving due notice to all con- cerned, But he thought it quite likely that a change should be*® made in the close season; and in his opinion reliable information should be obtained as to the habits of the fish, befere any action vas taken by the Department.

Mr. Horace Havzarp believed there was something more than a mere rumor in the proposition to close the factories, He came to the conclusion from what he him- self heard at Ottawa a year or two ago, Hoe would be very sorry to vote for the resolu- tion if there were no grounds for it,

Grorck Lonaworra said he had infor- mation which led him to the conclusion that there was something in the report.

Mr. Gavin did not see why the resoln- tion should not pass, even though the Government had not proposed shutting up of the factoriee. The report mig'gt perhaps ba put outas a feeler, and if no protest vas even made, the factories might be shut aownh.

After some further discussion the resolu- tion passed unanimously.

Grorck LoneworrH then proposed the following resolution :

Fesolyed, That this meeting suggest to the Government that (after twelve months notice being given) three months be allowed to fish at such times as suiteach locality under the control ofthe Fishery Inspectors or Wardens, as it has been proved beyond a doubt that the same season will not suit all sections of this Island, and we are firmly of opinion that such a regulation would tend more to the protection of this industry from

the fact that packers would then only catch the lish when in proper condition for canning.

Mr. Robblee seconded the resolution,

T. A. McLean agreed with the resolution but wanted to know why ask twelve months’ notice ?

Mr. Larkins said that many persons had already eugaged their hands, and if the Government interfered this year it would knock their baviness ont of joint.

Mr. Mclapyes thought it would be well for all packers to act in concert with the Government, and give the Government reasonable assistance. He believed there was little fear of the factories being closed down by the Government. Such a measure would be disastrous. It would deve many of the best packers out of the business, and they would not go back to it at the end of three years, and a great deal of the plant would be destroyed. Besides, a large namber of factory hands would be thrown out of employment and on the hands of the Government. He had much pleasure in supporting the resolution.

JAMES STEWART moved, seconded by T. A. McLean, that the words * 5 twelve months’ notice being given” be sffick out of the resolution.

After some further discussion the amend- ment was put and carried, and the resclu- tion then passed as amended—unanimously.

Joun Hueurs, Esq, proposed the fol- lowing resolution :—

Resolved, that the Lobster-Fishing Industry is too important to general and individual interests to be inconsiderately tam d with, and that owing to the uncertainty tat exists with refer- ence to this industry, those persons who have in- vested their means therein, labor under many and serious disadvantages through depreciation in value of buildings, plant and machinery, caused by such uncertainty, and as the number of persons engaged in and depending upon this industry number not less than 14,000, we do urge upon our representatives in Parliament the necessity of ex- erting their influence to see that the interests of the Island packers are not set aside in any gen- eral measure of change, for the reason that this Province labors under many disadvantages that do not affect the mainland; and that owing te our isolated positions, packers are obliged to purchase their suppl.es six months previous to the opening of the season.

The resolution was seconded by Mr. Lantz, and passed unanimously.

JoHn Huaues, Esq , then submitted the following reaolutien :

Resolved, That a Committee of five bo appeint- ed to draw up and forward the Hon. the Minister of Marine and Fisheries a memorial, embodying copies of all the resolutions passed at this meet- ing, and pointing out in the strongest terms rea- sons why the resolutions now passed should be acted upon apart from the r@gulations governing the lobster fishery on the mainiand.

Mr. Suerar seconded the resolution, and it passea unanimously.

The following Committee were then ap- pointed to «arry out the last resolution, viz. : John Hughes, George Longworth, Peter Gavin, Horace Haezard, and Hon. D. Davies.

Votes of thanks were then tendered Dr. Jenkins, M. P., and the Chairman, and the meeting adjourned.

the Court. Hia Lordship, however, re- ferred to the violation of the Scott Act in Prince and Queen’s Counties; but as regards King’s County, the Jury would know better than he, how the Act was kept. His own opinion, formed from the very large number of Scott Act appeals befora the Court, was that the Act was violated in King’s County a'so.

James Bell,appeliant, ve. Samuel Prowse and others. Appoal from King’s County Court. Mr. McLean, for the respondent,

been served, obtained an order dismissing the appeal with costs.

His speech was recsived with applause, After remarks by one cr two ether speakers, enlogistic of the present administration and eudorsing Mr. Bovyer’s candidature, the meeting dis- persod.
