The wilmington star SAYS 1.-The oyster
pirates, black and white, rom Virginia. are
having full swing in the oyster fisheries OF
Northeastern North Carolina, and pursue
their ayOcatiOn in contempt and defiance o'
the laws Of this state. Some futile attempts
have been made by the county authorities
and citizeus interested in the preservation
Of the oyster beds, but they were openly re-
sisted, and the work Of pirating goes on as

rights i'm these fisheries which should pe
protected. and Governor Fowle should send
some boats down there supplied win guns
and shot 10 be used il no other argument
will persuade these pOachers that they have
no business on these forbidden grounds.
