The Newfoundland Fisheries: Reuter’s Telegram: St. John’s, Aug. 3: The Newfoundland Government has appointed Sir Robert Pinsent, one of the Puisne Judges, as Commissioner to investigate the losses sustained by the people of St. George’s Bay during the last three years through the enforcement of the treaties with France, compensation being expected from the Imperial Government. The order for the closing of the lobster factories has been considerably relaxed. The cod fisher is the best which has been experienced for the last twenty years, that in Labrador being especially good. The lobster fishery is a failure owing the bad weather.
