For over a century and a quarter the dispute had been carried on with more or less virulence, and on several occasions had brought the two nations to the verge of war. It was not a controversy that through lapse of time had acquired merely historic interest ; it affected interests that were substantial and in some respects vital to portions of each nation. The views of both countries had been so long maintained and so strenuously urged that neither could with grace retreat from the position it had taken. The national honour of each was in a measure involved. Through the participation of many of the ablest and most honoured statesmen on both sides of the Atlantic, the controversy had acquired that sanctity which the sentiment of a nation gives to the assertion of its rights. From the point of view of international law, the questions involved were of special interest and of the utmost consequence, not only to the two powers directly concerned, but also to every nation of the world. Every consideration that moves a sovereign nation to regard and maintain the interests of its own people urged Great Britain and the United States to press their views of this controversy. 682 THE FISHERY ARBITRATIONS Status prior to the Treaty of i8i8 Dispute between the colonies and the mother country on the fisheries question first arose in the years immediately preceding the revolt of the American colonies. The nations of Europe had been struggling for upwards of a century for the possession of the fisheries in the northern parts of North America. France, as the principal settler there, had long claimed the exclusive right to them. Great Britain, moved in no small degree by the value of these fisheries, had won Canada from France, and had limited by treaty, within a narrow compass, the right of France to any share in the fisheries. Spain, upon some claim of prior discovery, had for some time enjoyed a share of the fishery on the Banks, but at the last treaty of peace, in 1763, had expressly renounced it. At the commencement of the American Revolution, therefore, these fisheries belonged exclusively to the British nation. The colonists of Massachusetts and other New England states, as British subjects, had continuously resorted to the fishing-grounds, which were an important source of living and revenue to them. Though the fisheries are relatively unimportant in modern times, they were of vital importance to New England in 1782. The reigning toast in Massachusetts was, ' May the United States ever ! maintain their rights to the fisheries ' The American colonists considered that these fisheries had been discovered, exploited and developed by them ; that they had been won by their toil, by their blood, by their activity ; and when peace began to be talked about in 1782 they contended that they had as good a right to maintain a claim to con- tinue in the enjoyment of them as British subjects across the sea, and a better right than the new subjects in Canada. And so the American peace negotiators, Franklin, Adams and Jay, were instructed by Congress ' that in no case, by any treaty of peace, the common right of fishing be given up.' The Treaty of 1783.—Resolutely maintaining that posi- tion, the United States plenipotentiaries at Paris were able NORTH ATLANTIC COAST FISHERY DISPUTES 683 to exact as the price of peace from Great Britain, in the position of weakness in which she found herself in 1783, the terms of a treaty by which equal rights with British subjects to take fish of every kind in all British North American waters were given to every inhabitant of the United States. The right was unlimited as to any distance from shore. It was absolutely the same right as British subjects themselves had, except that American fishermen were not permitted to dry and cure their fish on the Island of Newfoundland. The Treaty of Ghent, 1814.—No question with respect to the fisheries article of the treaty of 1783 or the use of the fisheries under it arose until the close of the War of 1812, when Great Britain took the position that the rights of American fishermen had been abrogated by that war, the United States insisting with equal vigour that those rights were perpetual. When the negotiators met at Ghent in 1 8 14 to sign a treaty of peace, it was found impossible to reach any common ground, and the whole subject of the fisheries was left open by that treaty as an unsettled subject of difference between the two governments, and, possibly, as Henry Clay expressed it, ' as a nest egg for another war.' Period from 1814-18.—Continual collision and friction were of course inevitable. Scarcely six months after the signing of the Treaty of Ghent, occasion arose for the renewal of the controversy as to whether the inshore fisheries of the treaty of 1783 had survived the War of 1812. On June 19, 1815, occurred what is known as the 'Jaseur incident.' Captain Lock of H.M.S. Jaseur warned an American fi.shing vessel, engaged in cod-fishing about forty-five miles distant from Cape Sable, not to come within sixty miles of the coast.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Articles & Chapters by an authorized administrator of DigitalCommons@NYLS. THE LEGAL CULTURE OF THE FORMATIVE PERIOD IN SHERMAN ACT JURISPRUDENCE* WILLIAM P. LAPIANA** The history of the formative era of antitrust jurisprudence has become the subject of extensive scholarly inquiry. Starting with Robert Bork's attempt to attribute specific economic motives to those who enacted the law,' examinations of the course of events leading up to the creation of the rule of reason enunciated in Standard Oil Co. v. United States2 have unearthed relationships between contemporary economic and political theory and the drafting and enforcement of the Sherman Act.3 This article attempts to supplement these efforts by placing the language of the major Supreme Court opinions interpreting the Sherman Act in a context of thought about the nature of law. It is an attempt to begin to probe the legal culture of the period, but, of course, it is only an attempt. A full and complete picture of American legal culture at the turn of the century is yet to be written.

  • Resource Analysis Report Recreation
    Resource Analysis Report Recreation Prepared by Denise Stoffels for the North Coast Government Technical Team Updated by Denise Stoffels - Van Raalte March 2003 Executive Summary Recreation is any outdoor or leisure activity where the participant does not pay a commercial operator for the privilege of partaking in the activity. Popular recreation activities in the North Coast plan area include kayaking, fishing, hunting, boating, snowmobiling, hiking and wildlife viewing. Many of the activities are marine based. There is limited road access within the plan area with the exception of the Highway 16 corridor. The existing recreation database represents sites that currently receive use, rather than all of the potential recreation sites within the plan area. The database, and this report, were updated in 2002 (2003), based on public input received at a series of open houses and on the professional knowledge of the Recreation Office at the North Coast Forest District, Ministry of Forests1. As more information becomes available, this inventory may require further updating. Specific site locations and use levels related to First Nations subsistence activities such as hunting and berry picking are not included in the database, as it was felt that this would more aptly be presented as traditional use and not recreational use. The data was analysed based on user day categories. Based on anecdotal information, user day categories were assigned to each site location. The general trend was that sites in and around Prince Rupert and the Skeena River corridor received higher levels of use, while sites that were further away received less use. Some sites where level of use was high included Bishop Bay, Lucy Island and the Skeena River mud flats.

  • Geologic Map of the Ketchikan and Prince Rupert Quadrangles, Southeastern Alaska
    DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR TO ACCOMPANY MAP I-1807 U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE KETCHIKAN AND PRINCE RUPERT QUADRANGLES, SOUTHEASTERN ALASKA By Henry C. Berg, Raymond L. Elliott, and Richard D. Koch INTRODUCTION This pamphlet and accompanying map sheet describe the geology of the Ketchikan and Prince Rupert quadrangles in southeastern Alaska (fig. 1). The report is chiefly the result of a reconnaissance investigation of the geology and mineral re­ sources of the quadrangles by the U.S. Geological Survey dur­ ing 1975-1977 (Berg, 1982; Berg and others, 1978 a, b), but it also incorporates the results of earlier work and of more re­ cent reconnaissance and topical geologic studies in the area (fig. 2). We gratefully acknowledge the dedicated pioneering photointerpretive studies by the late William H. (Hank) Con­ don, who compiled the first 1:250,000-scale reconnaissance geologic map (unpublished) of the Ketchikan quadrangle in the 1950's and who introduced the senior author to the study 130' area in 1956. 57'L__r-'-'~~~;:::::::,~~.::::r----, Classification and nomenclature in this report mainly fol­ low those of Turner (1981) for metamorphic rocks, Turner and Verhoogen (1960) for plutonic rocks, and Williams and others (1982) for sedimentary rocks and extrusive igneous rocks. Throughout this report we assign metamorphic ages to various rock units and emplacement ages to plutons largely on the basis of potassium-argon (K-Ar) and lead-uranium (Pb-U) (zircon) isotopic studies of rocks in the Ketchikan and Prince Rupert quadrangles (table 1) and in adjacent areas.
