The feet this year is only a shadow of the brave little fishing armada which set out ncross the Atlantic in 1990 because since then terrific Autumnal gales took a heavy toll of ships and men who normally would have joined the Newfoundland fleet this Spring.

After the blessing of the ships to-day a procession was formed to the

Cathedral at St. Malo where prayers were again offered for the safety of the sailors. The forma tion of the New! undland fleet this year has been delayed because of dispute over wages between crews and owners. The fleet is expected to sail to-morrow at dawn.

"The serious crimes liat is to-day more bulky than it has been at any time during the past sixty years," said Mr. Justice McCardie in his charge to the grand jury at the Sussex Assizes, at Lewes.

"From a close study of the matter for many years," he added, "there are, in my view, in this country at the present time far more persistent criminals than

in previous years, and the criminal of to-day is a cleverer man than the criminal of a generation agohence the number of crimes which, though detected, are not prosecuted."

He added that he thought it right|

to point out that in his opinion the ! attention of the most able police in: the country had, in recent years.

been distracted to the utmost by being called numerable minor offences, whether

on to deal with in-

brenches of the motor law or of by laws, so that they had been unable to give an adequate amount of at- tention to the detection and pro- sccution of serious offenders.

Mr. Justice McCardie added that one of the reasons why he was glad to be assisted by a grand jury wan that it was one of the bulwarks

against the undue growth of bureaucracy,
