The Newfoundland Fisheries: [Reuter’s Telegram]: St. John’s, Tuesday: A telegram from St. George’s Bay states that the Commission presided over by Sir Robert Pinsent closed today after six days’ investigation. The evidence showed light-handed (sic) proceedings on the part of the French during the past three years. In 1891 the French forbade the sale of herrings to Americans, and them-selves gave only 40c a barrel. The losses were shown to be not less than $20,000, an after careful examination by Judge Pinsent the claims made were fully established.

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.
