The Lobster Fishery. , Onrrawa, May 18. On motion to gu into committee of sup- ply, |} Mr. Kirk called attention to the Order hin Councis of last fall, restricting the period for lobster fishing. He grumbled at the class of evidence taken by the lobster com- jinission. Out oof seventy-seven witnesses }examined, not a single person was repre- | sented to be a fisherman. In regard to the ;South coast of Nova Scotia there was no ) evidence that there was any falling off in the lobster fisherics. He attributed the falling off in the lobster fishery to Govern- ment regulations, permitting lobsters to be caught so late in the season when lobsters were in spawn and the shell soft. It would be better for the lobster fisheries to be utterly destroyed rather than the fisher- men kept in poverty by the present restric- tions. He suggested that lobster fishing might be allowed to continue for two months later in the fall of the year.
Hon. Mr. Foster expressed his regret that Mr. Kirk should have abandoned the exhaustion of the lobster fisheries—an_in- dustry amounting to seventeen million pounds of lobsters alone, besides the live lobster trade, and employing several thousands of people was too large an in- dustry to be sacrificed. (Cheers.) The history of the lobster industry in. the
United States, Norway and other coun- tries showed that lobster fishing was constantly decyeasing through over-tishing; and if Oanada desired to preserve her fishery, stringent
measures should be taken to prevent over- tishing,—even though lobster fishermen suffered from that restriction. The United States lobster fishery was pretty nearly ex- hausted, and their supply is now being drawn from Canadian shores. Evidence taken by the Igbster commission pointed strongly” in the direction of a re- strictive measure. The commission unani- mously recommended the close geasan adopted by the Departinent last summer. If, on further inquiry, it was found that the regulations were not best, the Depart- ment would be prepared to change them. If it was found taat something more than a close season was required, resort would be had tu that, as the wish of the Department was to give permanence to this important industry.
Troubled Ireland.
Dusuin, May 18.
A bailiff named Sweeney, while escort- ing the drunken son of landlord Lloyd home at Templemore, .County Tipperary, fired upon a laborer named Thompson and wounded him in-the hip. Another work- man named Kennedy interfered. Sweeney shot him also, the bullet entering his heart. Both shots were fired at Lloyd’s order. The police pursued and arrested Sweeney ; with difficulty they prevented the police from lynching him.
