IFISH FISHERIES BILL.
Mr. C. GRANT moved tilt Order of the Day for
tie second reading of the Irish Fisheries Bill.
Sir 11.1PARNxi.t. expressed some doubt as to the
pruprietf of the moils of bounties which this Bill
a:ontaurrd.

Mr. C. GRANT explained. that the nature of the
Bill' was to assimilate the-practice of the Irish
to those of Great Britain. The appoint-
ment lax or seven years ago of Coin evisstouers to
atailrbatetid the fivherief in Scotland, hail been
productive. of the greatest benefit. The bounties
were 3s. per barrel on herrings. and 4s. on other
tirh. besides V.' per tun on whale and other oil.
Those twenties were to be available.to the small
fishing boats as well m the large. so that the poorer
clam of tislitamen would so far derive the same ad-
vantage as tko,agnxis of large boats, and also have
the advantage of that sdperiutendettee on the part
of ibeConnuisaionerv, which hod led (6 so good's

tised by the Dutch. It gave bins pleasure to say.
