"The late Washington treaty has been the
cause of much trouble between our fishermen
and those Of the Dominion says one OF our eX-
changes. This is somewhat surprising, and in
fact, not altogether reasonable, as the Washing
ton treaty has not yet gone into operation. The
only trouble between our fishermen and those OF
the Dominion we have heard of is that oc-
casioned by the hostile, unwarranted, and in-
cXcusable legislation Of the British provinces
This will be nufed when the new treaty shall
30 into operation. 1t would be nullitied by
other means, if the treaty had not made pro-
vision for setting it aside. There was no diff
1culty until this provincial legislation began it
by attempting to introduce new Interpretation
of tie old treaty There will be none under the
new treaty. Bur, at present, the people of the
provinces are attempting to enforce something
different from either; and their method of do
inc it is quite as bad as the legislation itself
This is manifest in the case Of the schooner L.
A. Horton. We find the following in the Bos
ton Traveller:
"a gentleman Just from Nova Scotia, in a
position 10 know whereof he speaks, says the
legal officers of the government, who had been
investigating the case Of the Gloucester fishing
schooner, L. A. Horton had come to the con-
clusion that she had not violated the fishing
laws, and it is probable that she would have
been released, at an early day, if She had not
been recaptured. The owners of the vessel be-
licved she was illegally held, and having no
faith in the provincial courts, they did not care
10 await for a decision which they feared would
be contrary to law, and for this reason the eX-
petition was sent to cut out the vessel
1t follows, of course, that the vessel was
seized without manifest reason. The intent to
annoy, was successful; and, it may be added,
that there is something for consideration in the
fact, that the master Of the Horton waited at
Guysborofor hearing, aud waited In vain.
