LONDON, August 27
A Grimsy trawler, the Taurus, was fined £ls at Flonsl)urgh_ and her trawl catch confiscated for alleged fishing within tho German three-nulo limit. The Taurus skipper was so positive that ho was outside the limit that ho went to tho oxpenso of briefing a loading German advocato. * The commander of the gunboat had declined to listen to remonstrances or to examine proof that tlio skipper was right by his bearing and chart. Sir G. Doughty, member for the district, intends to raise tho wholo question in Parliament. It is alleged at Grimsby that the vessels were stripped of everything movable connected with fishing operations. This was an luiparniKeleu procedure, involving the owners in a loss of £2OO. . , Other trawlers have been molested nine miles from the coast. Tho feeling at Grimsby is that a British cruiser ought to ho sent to protect the trawlers.
