ACT of the Government of Newfoundland, respecting Foreign Fishing Vessels.

[Chap. 6.]

[Passed May 24, 1893.]

Be it enacted by the Governor, the Legislative Council, and House of Assembly, in Legislative Session convened, as follows:-

1. The Governor in Council may authorize the issuing of licences to foreign fishing-vessels, enabling them to enter any port on the coasts of this island for the following purposes: the purchase of bait, ice, seines, lines, and all other supplies and outfits for the fishery, and for the shipping of crews.

2. Any Justice of the Peace, Sub-Collector, Preventive Officer, Fishery Warden or Constable, may go on board any foreign fishingvessel within any port on the coasts of this island, or hovering in British waters within three marine miles of any of the coasts, bays, creeks, or harbours of this island, and may stay on board such vessel so long as she remains within such port or distance.

3. Any one of the officers or persons hereinbefore mentioned may bring any foreign fishing-vessel, being within any port on the coasts of this island, or hovering in British waters within three marine miles of any of the coasts, bays, creeks, or harbours of this island, into port, may search her cargo and may examine the master upon oath touching the cargo and voyage; and the master or person in command shall answer truly such questions as shall be put to him, under a penalty not exceeding 500 dollars. And if such foreign fishing-vessel has on board any herring, caplin, squid, or other bait fishes, ice, lines, seines, or other outfits or supplies for the fishery, purchased within any port on the coasts of this island, or within the distance of three marine miles from any of the coasts, bays, creeks, or harbours of this island, or if the master of the said vessel shall have engaged or attempted to engage any person to form part of the crew of the said vessel in any port, or on any part of the coasts of this island, without a licence therefor in writing first granted to any such vessel under the provisions of this Act, or has entered such waters for any purpose not permitted by Treaty, Convention, or Act of the Legislature, for the time being in force, such vessel and the tackle, rigging, apparel, furniture, stores, and cargo thereof shall be forfeited.

4. All goods and vessels and the tackle, rigging, apparel, furniture, stores, and cargo thereof, liable to forfeiture under this Act, may be seized and secured by any officer or person mentioned in the second section of this Act, and every person opposing any officer or person in the execution of his duty under this Act, or aiding or

abetting any other person in such opposition, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanour, and liable to a fine of 500 dollars.

5. In any prosecution under this Act, the presence on board of any foreign fishing-vessel, in any port of this island, or within British waters aforesaid, of any caplin, squid, or other bait fishes, of ice, lines, seines, or other outfits or supplies for the fishery, shall be prima facie evidence of the purchase of the said bait fishes and outfits within such port or waters, and the refusal or failure to produce a licence upon being called upon so to do shall be primâ facie evidence of the purchase of bait, ice, lines, seines, or other supplies or outfits for the fishery without a licence.

6. All offenders against the provision of this Act may be prosecuted and convicted, and all fines, forfeitures, penalties, and other punishments imposed, recovered, and made, in a summary manner, before a Stipendiary Magistrate. For the purposes of this Act all Stipendiary Magistrates shall be deemed to be Stipendiary Magistrates for the Colony, and may exercise the jurisdiction given by this Act in any part of the Colony.

7. If any person convicted under this Act shall feel himself aggrieved by such conviction, he may appeal therefrom to the then next sitting of Her Majesty's Supreme Court, holden in or nearest the place where such conviction shall have been had, or in St. John's: Provided notice of such appeal and of the cause and matter thereof be given to the convicting Magistrate in writing, within seven days next after such conviction, and the party desiring to appeal shall also, within fourteen days after such notice, give and enter into recognizance with two approved sureties before the convicting Magistrates conditioned for the appearance of the person convicted at such next sitting of the Supreme Court, on the first day of such sitting, for the prosecution of the appeal with effect and without delay, to abide the judgment of the Court thereon, and for the delivery and surrender of any vessel or other property ordered to be confiscated, and to pay such costs as the Court may award.

8. No proceeding or conviction by, nor order of, any Magistrate or other officer under this Act shall be quashed or set aside for any informality, provided the same shall be substantially in accordance with the intent and meaning of this Act.

9. Nothing in this Act shall affect the rights and privileges granted by Treaty to the subjects of any State in amity with Her Majesty.

10. Any foreign fishing-vessel may enter any port of entry of this island for the purpose of applying for a licence under the provisions of this Act. Applications for licences under this Act shall be made to a Customs officer at a port of entry in this Colony, who is hereby authorized to issue the same. The fee for such
