THE OYSTER FISHERIES.

Sir CHARLES LEMON inquired of the Vice-Presi-
dent of the Board of Trade, whether it was the intention
of the Government to bring forward, with a view to its
enactment in the present session, a Bill to prevent exces-
sive dres4 ing for oysters during the breeding season; by
which practice, as has been abundantly proved, the
oyster beds are often seriously injured, and may be en-
tirely destroyed?
Sir G. CLERK said that no measure on the subject
would be introduced this session. He was of opinion
that this interference with the oyster trade would ma-
terially affect the supply to the metropolis.
After a few words from Sir C. LEMON, the subject
dropped. _ „__
