the Sebum Fisheries (Scathed) BBL
The Duke of RICHMOND, in introducing the deputation,
said that he himself was Dot wholly adverse to legisktioa
pa the subject, but lie objected to the present bill both on its
Tnatil4.l act its detail. 1 b principle, because it inter.
rend with his stake nets and cruive dykes. The entire
dyke is specially specified in his royal cbarter, and is as
much a part of the entailed estate as Gordon Castle itself ;
soil the Lonl Advocate might with equal justice pro-
pse to take • railway through the castle
without giving him compensation, as to take
away the enure dyke, which he propose,to do
be this bill. If stake and bag nets are supposed to be
illegal in the sea, the limper course is to try the question at
law. The details of the bill were such that in its praise'
shape they could nut be worked. The district which com-
prises the Spey went from Inverness to near Edinburgh,
sad although he represented a large interest in salmon
t.hinp, it was quite possible he might have on voice at the
sad money reamed on his property might he spent
e rivers near Perth, and siot a shilling upon the Spey. He
thought that the form in which legislation should premed
was by proteeting the breeding fish, and giving a weekly
slap. The duke further stated that he thought it would be
dmirable that the bill, if it should peas • lamed reeding.
should be referred to • select committee, with ample powers
to these to iseeeliple the sob* sad bow the parties
