The Newfoundland Fisheries: [Reuter’s Telegram: St. John’s, Monday] 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 fishing has been the best which has been experienced for the last 20 years, that in Labrador being especially good. The lobster fishery was a failure owing to the cold weather.
