The L obster's Legal Status.
BATH. May 14.-This morning Fish War
den Bailey seized barrel of Holsters at a
STEAMBOAT landing at Bath, on accound of
violation of the law requiring the full name
of the sender to be attached to the lot
shipped. The owner claimed that If he ac-
c0mpanied the lot there was no need of at
taching his name to the barrel, but while the
dscussi on was becoming somewhat warm
Mr. Bailey took the Holsters to an adjoining
building and measured them finding four
Holsters in the lot less than nine inches In
length.
This made clear the warden's right to con-
fscate the whole. but the question first
raised is still unsettled in the minds of many
dealers in tn is fish, and it would be an ad-
vantage If the correct Interpretation of the
law in such cases could be generally made
known.
