Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Argument of Mr. Dwight Foster, on Behalf of the United States
The next body of water is the Bay of Miramichi as to which it will turn out by an inspection of the map on which the Commis sioners, appointed under the Reciprocity Treaty, marked out'the' lines reserved from free fishing, on the ground that they were mouths of rivers, that the mouth of the River Miramichi comes almost down to the headlands of the bay. You will remember that the report of the Commission on the Reciprocity Treaty is, referred to in the Treaty of Washington, and that the same places excluded by their decision remain excluded now; What is left? The narrow space below the point marked out as the mouth of the River Miramichi, and within the headlands of the bay, is so small that there can be no fishing there of any consequence, and no evi dence of any fishing there at all has been introduced. So far as the Bay of Miramichi goes, therefore, I cannot see that the head land question need trouble you at all.
