VIRGINIA CRAB Law.
trs ENFORCEMENT A TERROR TO

A special Dispatch to the baltimore Sun
from Crisicid. Md. dated June 6th. shows
that the determination OF Governor Fer
rail- to enforce the crab law by means OF
police boats. armed with rapid-fring guns,
is having a wholesome effect among the
thieving crabbers OF that section. IT Is
as follows:
In view Of the fact that the Governor
Of Virginia IL procuring arms for his
fotilla and will equip the boats with
rapid-firing guns to prevent unlawful
grabbing In the waters OF that State con-
tiguous 10 Maryland. II is well for Mary
land fishermen TO know what the law OF
Virginia In on the subject The crabbers
Of crisneld and vicinity have heretofore
operated In the waters of Virginia, but an
act OF the last Legislature OF that State
has prohibited them from doing SO in the
future The penalty for violation IL
severe. The law provides that It shall be
unlawful for non-residents to catch crabs
with scrapes or dredges In the waters
Of Virginia: that IL shall be unlawful for
any person 20 catch crabs with scrapes or
dredges on the planted oyster-grounds OF
private individuals, or the natural oyster
rocks I'm the State OF Virginia. Any per-
son violating the provisions OF this act
shall be deemed guilty Of a felony. and
upon conviction thereof shall he confined
in the penitentiary not more than one
year. or, in the discretion Of the jury.
may be confined not more than five
months In Jail. or fined not exceeding 500.
and upon any conviction the Offender snail

that every time the Virginia police Ere.

aim Is far from the mark. and. beyond

bers claim II Will make 1t dangerous for
them to follow the industry from which
they derive their livelihood. che boundary
line Is not clearly defined. and they claim
the firing Is often done over Inc lIne,
and the scraper feels unsafe In grabbing
in the waters OF his own State. There Is
no law which gives the captain Of any
police-boat authority to shoot over the line
under any circumstances. In any case.
no boat should be shot at unless IL is
undoubtedly Grabbing in forbidden water
and attempts to escape. 1t is stated that
the shooting has become so general. that
a few days ago. while carrying the mail
from Smiths Island to Crisfeld. the boat
was shot at several times. II had been
mistaken for a grabbing craft. and was
attacked. without any investigation on the
part OF the police-boat. There are 1000
crabbers in this neighborhood.
