[Inclosure 7 to inclosure 1 in No. 159.]
Deposition of Ambrose Pope.
The examination of Ambrose Pope, of Stone Cove, Long Harbor, taken upon oath, and who saith:
I was at Tickle Beach on a Sunday in January last, I don’t know the date. I saw the Newfoundlanders hauling a seine and leave it on the beach; it was torn in hauling it on shore. It was evening when I saw the seine hauled on the beach, and it was laying there when I left the beach.
I don’t know if any was carried away. I don’t know anything more about it. The Americans, we thought, had no right to haul their seines on Sunday.
AMBROSE his + mark. POPE.
Sworn before me at Anderson Cove this 15th day of June, A. D. 1878.
GEO. L. SULIVAN,
Captain and Senior Officer on the Coast of Newfoundland.
