AWARD OP THE FISHERY COMMISSION. 2227 Q. When the answer was favorable did you run over I—A. Not gen- erally ; we kept around the Magdalens. Q.

When you fished within three miles in the bay did you catch any fish ?—A. I never did, only a few, because we never fished there. Q. You told me you were there one season ?—\.
