"Reduction work These herring are of very poor quality as regards oil content, averaging not over five gallons of oil to the ton. This small yield of oil makes these herring unsatisfactory for general reduction purposes.

Successful Lawyer As a lawyer, Mr. Nesbltt was eminently successful, He was counsel for many large corporations and acted in many important cases. On numerous occasions he appeared before the Judicial Committee of the Imperial Privy Council in London. A staunch advocate of the closest imperial connection, Mr. Nesbltt always had independenUy - formed opinions on public topics and did not hesitate to voice them on the public platform. Some of his views on controversial matters have since been confirmed by adoption and al though others have been rejected and almost forgotten there can be no doubt of his Influence on the development of Canada. He was a strong advocate of the idea of Imperial federation, when that question was moot. He suggested a round-table conference of the public men of Great Britain and the Dominions to discuss the proposal and envisioned the establishment of a council of the Empire composed of representatives of its component parts. During the period preceding the ?eneral election of 1911 he strong opposed the scheme for reciprocity of trade between. Canada and the United States. He predicted its adoption would eventually lead not inly to economic but to political union. At this time he advanced a i suggestion, adopted several years later, to establish a tariff board to advise the government on fiscal matters. Opposed Washington Envoy When the appointment of a Canadian minister to Washington was discussed he opposed the Idea; but he was host to the first diplomat to a foreign power from one of the British Dominions, Hon. Timothy A. Smlddy, first Irish Free State minister to the United States, on the latter's visit to Toronto. Mr.' Nesbltt took a keen interest in the welfare of the legal profession, particularly In legal education. He was a bencher of the Law Society of Upper Canada and later treasurer, the highest office ln that body.

During his life he made a gift of $10,000 to the Law Society, the Income of which was to be used for the improvement of legal educa tion ln Ontario. He also took a prominent part ln the activities of the Canadian Bar Association. In 1928 -he was elected president. Mr. Nesbltt was married twice, first to Mrs. Louise Plumb ln 1889.
