Newfoundland Fisheries: St. John’s (Newfoundland), Oct. 11: The grand jury, in a presentment on the cases arising out of the incidents in St. George’s Bay state that in the spring of this years some of the French Officers prohibited the people of the coast from selling bait to American fishermen who were offering for it $1.25 per barrel. Boats containing bait were forcibly driven from the side of American fishing vessels and competed to sell their supplies to French vessels at forty cents per barrel. The grand jury asked the judge, Sir Robert J. Pinsent, whether the French were justified in the course they had taken. His Lordship replied that the subjects of the United States had certain treaty rights to fish on the coast, and British subjects had a right to sell bait to them. Consequently, the French were wrong in prohibiting the sale. Sir Robert also said that the French had no right under the treaties to establish lobster factories on the coast, whereas the British had a right to establish factories so long as they did not interfere with the French cod fishing. He urged a loyal submission to the modus vivendi and expressed his confidence that the government would redress the grievances of the Newfoundlanders in time.  …

Harvest Thanks-giving Services at Highfield: There were harvest thanksgiving services at Highfield Church on Wednesday, the same day as the Garden and Industrial Exhibition, reported in another column, was held in a tent in a field adjoining the church. In honour of the occasion, the sacred edifice was very tastefully decorated with flowers and the usual other materials brought into requisition on such an occasion, the chancel itself, together with the font, being very prettily adorned, the whole of the embellishments having a pleasing effect. The work was very skillfully executed, under the superintendence of Miss Pinsent, who was ably assisted by the Misses Hughes, Miss Pearson, Miss Johnson, Miss Boughton Smith, etc.  At the morning service the sermon was preached by the Rev. A. M. Hoare (Rector of Fawley and Rural Dean), and in the evening by the Rev. E. H. Blake (Vicar of Frampton-on-Severn, Gloucestershire). The offertory was devoted to the Highfield Church Organ Fund.
