Memorial from anglers on the river Teviot in the Scottish Borders, requesting that the local landowners form an Angling Association to regulate fishing on the river and to deter poachers who are depopulating the river of trout by using large nets. The memorial led to the formation of the Upper Teviotdale Fisheries Association in 1881.
Memorial signed: John Nichol, chairman meeting of anglers.
