I have the honor of acknowledging the receipt of Your
Grace's Despatch N 77 of the
9 May last, enclosing a
memorandum from
M Ffennell on the subject of the protection of the Salmon Fisheries of
British British Columbia, and a subsequent correspondence with that gentleman.
I have also lately received the Fishery Act and official
Reports bearing upon the matter in which Your Grace requested
the Governor of Canada to send to me.
I have to thank Your Grace for those valuable documents,
which afford so much useful information
on on the methods of
preserving and regulating Fisheries.
