F. A. Lindsay, Victoria, was re- leased on parole for a week after Judge Jules Desmarals ordered him to furnish $5,000 cash deposit bail or surety for $10,000 to guarantee his appearance.

There hcl been no attempt to escape ser- vice. Thccc men, who are mostly young. have shown no unwillingness to appear before thc tribunal They were acting under advice and insis- ted on their right to be arrested on Prince Edward Island-advice IIVGD after due consideration." Continuing, the P. E. I. lawyer thought he should explain to the Judge “that wc are rather on the fringe of things down there. in a- vcry isolated position, We have a prohibition law, so that it seems that we should have a few bootleggers among our local characters. But my' clients arc sure that they have no outside contacts. Things are far from prosperous, we are only getting 10 cents for our potatoes. I mention these thing! in thc hope Your Honor may be abic to arrange for a reason- able cash bell." Mr. Johnston feared that if high bail were asked his clients would have to go to ,irill and he recalled reductions in the original bail de- manded byi tho prosecution had been made in e cases of other Maritim- crs.

Unrevised figures compiled by the Department of Fisheries show- ed that the catch of sea fish and shellfish increased by approxim- ately 17 percent, and its landed value to the fishermen by about 33 percent. "These increases." thc minister continued, "are most satisfactory, particularly the gain in landed value. which not only meant more 'money in the flshermen's pockets but reflected some improvement in prices and indicated more prom- ising prcspects for the fishermen for the future."
