says that Judge Fox has rendered decision
of importance to fishermen in the case of the
schooner +. c. Dresser, seized by the Collec
tor of Portland for an alleged violation of the
revenue laws by using, in repacking macker-

of salt which she had taken ON board for the
Trip The Court decided that the use of salt
