| The amended lobster law is being
more or less criticized. The Legisla-
ture added the following to the public
laws of 1901. relating to Holsters:
THE possession of mutiated Holsters,
cooked or uncooked, shall be prima ia
Gle evidence that they are not of the
required length. All Holsters or parts
of Holsters sold for use in this state or
for export therefrom must be sold and
delivered in the shell under penalty
of twenty dollars for each offense, and
whoever ships, buys, gives away, sells
or exposes for sale, lobster meat after
the same shall have been taken from
the shell shall be liable to a penalty
of one dollar for each pound of meat
so bought, sold, given away, exposed
for sale or shipped. Any person or cor
lporation in the business of common
carrier of merchandise, VINO shall
knowingly carry or transport from
place TO place lobster meat after the
same shall have been taken from the
shell shall be liable to penalty of fif-
ty dollars upon each conviction thereof.
All lobster meat so Illegally bought,
shipped, sold, given away, exposed for
sale or transported shall be liable to
seizure and may be confiscated. Moth
ing contained herein, shall be held to
prohibit the sale of Holsters that have
been legally canned"
The intention of the trainers of the
above was to prevent the taking of
short Holsters by prohibiting the sale
of lobster meat. Persons have done
thriving business in opening illegal
Holsters. removing the meat and dis
posing of the same at a big price. The
shells being destroyed it was difficult
to prove that the meat came from fish
less than 1919 inches in length.
But, though it was intended to only
reach a class of law-violators, it is
contended that the change may work
hardships to persons who do not wish
to violate any law, as the following
criticism by a well-informed gentle
man goes to show:
