§ MR. R. N. FOWLERsaid, he wished to ask the Secretary of the Board of Trade, Whether his attention has been directed to the practice of Pilots belonging to Bristol visiting Falmouth with a view of taking charge of vessels sailing from that Port, thus interfering with the Pilots belonging to Falmouth, and frequently causing the detention of ships for want of Pilots off Lundy Island; and, whether he will consider the propriety of framing any new regulations on the subject?
§ MR. SHAW LEFEVREsaid, in reply, that the attention of the Board of Trade had been directed to the subject, and, after communicating with the Trinity House, they saw no necessity for interference in the matter. They were informed that vessels were not detained at Lundy Island for want of pilots.
