any objection. By it Convoitinst, signed and agreed
to, between America soil this country, the former
renounced the right which her citizens claimed of
fishing no a considerable part of the coast of his
Majest3 'I. possessions in North America, hut in
point of Net there existed no municipal law its
this country to enforce the observance of this
renunciation ; tin that if au A niericats vessel went
and fished in the harbour of Halifax contrary to
the in this Convention, and was seized
in the act by ally Ilritisb vessel, there was no exist-
ing Omit litho which she could be brought and
condemned. It was necessary, therefore, to tuake a
new enactment, to enable his Majesty to carry the
Convention into full effect, and also to regulate the
lishrrtes, which are still traded tit between the two
couisi ries. The mode lie proposed in hisßill was,
