MY opinion bein* asked by Mr,
Tucker surveyor of James River,- -
die true construction of the att of A*;cm.
tly, parsed 23d January, 1£P9, entitled
*’• An a£t preventing obstruttions to the
'passage of fish down James River,” with
' u view to ascertain what power, persons a'
present possess under the various laws on
this subjedf, of putting tiaps, or erecting
dutru in James River. I have considered
the various a<?U on the subject, and will
pioceed as concisely as possible, to stale
*, mjr opinio';', resulting Irom their exarnma’
lian. An a£\ passednn the 2s:h January..
1504, entitled 4‘ An aCt for mo e effectu
eily preventing the passage of fi-h in James
River and its navigable branches* This
aid imposed ptftalties on any person who
should ertcA, or continue any dam, hedge., I
trap., weir, seine diag, Or other stoppage,
in James River, and i s navigable biau
che?> declares such (battue,ibn; to be
nuisances, and authorises the surveyor
vho*e appointment Is provided for, by
that ,6\, to abate the same. The great
ohje:t nf this a Cl appears to have been,
to endeavor to prevent yracUces, which
the legislature sccin to have supposed cal
culated to hinder fish from passing up
the river- The eighth teClion of this law,
however, expressly authorises persons to
"cii’Cl d' .is and traps, between the month*
of 4:nc and March, in each year, but eve.
Yiy person continuing any dam or trap af
lefthc first of March, was subjetl to the
penalties of the adf for sush continuance
Oo Hie 15 h Jan. ICO# an ac\ passed, en.
titled “An actj picventing obstruction*
of S»h down James River ” The pream
ble to this a£t declares that “whereas ii
o itpicaented that the destruction of fish
in tfieir passage down James River, du
ring the summer and fall season*, by
means of weirs, traps, hedges, dams, drags,
and other stoppages placed therein, is an 1
evil of growing magnitude.’’ The ait then
proceeds to declare, that if any person shall
thereat er place, or cause to be placed
any of the before described obstructions,
lo the passage of fish down James River,;
dun g "the summer, and fall seasons of J
thetywr, Hie pc* son or persons, so olmn.
ding, oh.'.11 be liable to the same penalties,
and forfeiluics as are prescribed by the
law, preventing the obstructions offish tip
James River. The utt't also raakts it the
duty r.f the suivcyor, to abate such ob„
s.rueTions, as are in his opi* ion calcula
ted, to prevent the passag- v* fish down
the Ifiver. Under the la»- ■*" „i referred
to (the act of 1S0T) there appeared to be
no limitation, on an individual’s right, to
put dams or traps in the river, except tha.
i! lime, between the 13« oi March and the

;;6i, mentions that application had bte.i
made to the legislature, (o amend ibe aCt
cl the preceding session, so as to impost

the surveyor by tl.a*. aCU The assembly

in t con'.touls the exercise ot the discie

Hamilton’s Elixir for
COUGHS,
DEAR bought experience has tough‘ thou
sands that oily and heated medicines, join*
ed with strong opiates or sleepy drugs,
repeated do«cs of which flatter and deceive
the patient for the present, by procuring
momentary ease ; experience, I say, has
taught 'housands, that the common opiates
and balsamics, as they are called, finally
aggravate every disorder of the brtast and
lungs, in their most distressing symptoms :
that they load the stomach and impair the
digestion, inflame the whole system, in.
crease the difficulty of breathing and ex
cite fever. But the qualities of this val
uable discovery, are evinced by perf ct!y
opposite effects. A single trial will prove,
that it restores the determination of the
fluids.to the surface of the body, and brings
on the common healthful perspiration —
that it dislodges and evacuates the toug.i
viscid phlegm or mucusj strengthens the
weakened vessels of the lungs, sheathes
the acrimonious humour which irritates
them, and finally discharges it. Thus stri
king at the root of the disorder, the symp
toms are of course effectually and perma.
ncntly conquered, the reverse of commun
medicines^ which weaken the constitution
and give strength to the disorder for the
sake of moderating for the present some
of its painful effects.
To parents who have children afflicted
with the hooping cough, this discovery is
of the first magnitude, as it affords imme
diate relief, checks the progress, and in a
short time entirely removes the most cruel
; disorder to which'children are liable. Tne
Elixir is so perfectly agreeable, and the
| dose so small that no difficulty arises in
taking it.

jlixir, prepared by the lata Mr Lee, I hive sen:
: you the following account of the benefit I have !
received from it; which I hope will induce o
i thera to give ic a trial. In consequence of a
^bruise on the breast received from a fallj my
health grew badj my breathing became verv
. difficult-and frequently I have had suddenly to
' rise up in my bed wi-h all the horrors ot imme
• diate suffocation—Add to these aconstan pains
in my breast, and a cough, a gran lost of strength
and tiesh, and you pay conceive that my syrr.p.
toms evidently indicated an approaching con
sumption. The advice of a moderninSht ph/
eician was reso-ted to, and aftej/vutcfl^lfecsn J
was called in, bu.<- without giving m^JKyliief.
