No. 180.
Sir L.
West to Mr. Bayard.
Washington, March 19, 1886.
[Received March 20.]
Sir: I have the honor to inform you that the Earl of Rosebery has requested me to ascertain whether it is intended to give notice to the United States fishermen that they are now precluded from fishing in British North American territorial waters, as Her Majesty’s Government are considering the expediency of issuing a reciprocal notice with regard to British fishermen in American waters.
I have, &c.,
L. S. SACKVILLE WEST.
