The

was
argued
before

by
Aime
Geoffrion,
K.C.,
of
Montreal,
who
represented
certain
interests
in

He
advanced
the
plea
that
since
the
buying
and
selling
of
fish
were
transactions
within
the
scope
of
the
"property
law
and
civil
rights,"
the
Dominion
had
no
authority
to
impose
what
amounted
to
a
tax
on
the
conduct
of
such
business.
The
Dominion
could
control
the
circumstances
under
which
the
fish
may
be
caught,
but
once
the
fish
is
caught
it
is
the
property
