Edw’d Thornton to Hamilton Fish, March 8, 1873

No. 182. Sir Edward Thornton to Mr. Fish.

Sir: I have the honor to inclose for your information a copy of a report of the committee of the privy council of Canada which I have received from the governor-general of the Dominion, and which recommends that American vessels should not be prevented from fishing within the three-mile limit before the act of Congress giving effect to the articles of the treaty of Washington relating to Canada comes into effect, on the first of July next.

I have, &c.,

EDWD. THORNTON.
