Fabbro, H. Lafoux, T. Merrall, R. Pain, K. Perrett, J. Rich, K. Schahmaneche, P. Antilogus, E. Lesquoy, and G. Sainton), report the discovery of several apparent supernovae found on CCD images taken with the newly commissioned MegaPrime instrument during the CFHT Legacy Survey engineering pre-survey. The tabulated magnitudes below are in the i' band. None of the new objects were present in reference images (limiting mag about 24.5; S/N = 5 for 2" aperture) taken on 2003 Mar. 3 (SNe 2003fe, 2003ff, 2003fg, 2003fh) and 23 (SNe 2003fi, 2003fj, 2003fk).
