ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF NEW BRUlfJSWICK. Sir, Despising the expression of that opinion, which, possibly, may attempt to torture the tinsophisticated language of sincere esteem, into the feigned or servile compliment of flattery, to you, do Ifrankly confess, that the oppoitunity which the cojnpila- tion of this little work affords me, unreservedly to acknowledge my obligations to your friendship, is a delightful recompense for lohatever of care, anxiety, or fatigue, the execution of the task has involved. When circumstances, familiar to all the respectable inhabitants of Miramichi, interrtqited my profes- sional studies, through your disinterested sympathies, did <i munificent Providence kindly bestow an affectionate, and an unshri?iking friend. Therefore, to you. Sir, do I now dedi- cate this unpretending effort, and poor though the offering he, rest assured, that in the presentation of it, far loftier motives Influenced me, than any private considerations would suggest. — The faithful duscharye of the important duties of a Le<ji- slator, has obtaiived for you the merited approbation of a dis cerniiuj constiitiency ; the registered decisions of the Bench, eloquently viiidicate your integrity as a magistrate;—and the magnanimity that nnifoimly pervades youi mercantile pursuits, has invested your professioiud reputatioti ivith the distiiujuish- ing traits of liberality and enterprize.

F4 035 no. 10 D c.1 Fisheries Pêches 1+3 and Oceans et Océans Canae I INTRODUCTION The following is one of a series of reports on the historical uses of waterways in New Brunswick and British Columbia. These reports are narrative outlines of how Indian and non-native populations I have used these rivers, with emphasis on navigability, tidal influence, riparian interests, settlement patterns, commercial use and fishing rights. These historical reports were requested by the Interdepartmental Reserve Boundary Review Committee, a body comprising representatives from Indian Affairs and Northern Development I [DIAND], Justice, Energy, Mines and Resources [EMR], and chaired by Fisheries and Oceans. The committee is tasked with establishing a government position on reserve boundaries that can assist in I determining the area of application of Indian Band fishing by-laws. Although each report in this series is as different as the waterway I it describes, there is a common structural approach to each paper. Each report describes the establishment of Indian reserves along the river; what Licences of Occupation were issued; what instructions were given to surveyors laying out these reserves; how I each surveyor laid out each reserve based on his field notes and survey plan; what, if any, fishing rights were considered for the Indian Bands; and how the Indian and non-native populations have I used the waterway over the past centuries for both commercial and recreational use.
