DUBLIN, July 19.—A question at issue between the Saorstat, or Irish Free State, and the British govern- ment, seriously affecting the fishing industry, was raised in a case before the District Court at Tralee, County Kerry. British steam trawlers were fined $500 and costs for illegally fish- ing within the defined limits in Ball- inskelligs and Dingle Bays. J. H. Thomas, the British colonial secretary, had said iu the House of Commons' that trawlers from Britain were entitled to fish in any part of Irish waters provided they kept out- ] side the three-mile limit, and British fisherman have been freely acting on that declaration. But during British rule in Ireland the fisheries depart- ment had the power to make by-laws effective outside the three-mile limit. These powers have been transferred to the Saorstat, “which claims the right to continue the by-laws and punish offences against them. defendants did not or send any expl fined the full ps ea promotions | THE SECRETARY LUNCHES FROM PUSHCART. days official family.
