have arrived at this sum in a rounda-
bout sort of way, but believe it is under
the mark. Thus, when l first began to
fish on my own account in the early
COS, I could rent month on a fairly
good stretch of water for from 6 40 to
ESQ, the services of gillie being usual
~ included in the rent. For that outlay
l used to average as nearly as possible
a fish for every sovereign; my: worst
month, which>cost s As, was 16 fish; my
best IS for 6 IS, and both of them were
on the Dee. About 1867 the rents. began
to rise and fish were costing me quite
five shi.lings each, which speedily went
to five pounds a head; until, from 1870
up to the present, angling rents have
Increased by leaps and bounds, forcir g

Their banking facilities are very

checks. But still they enjoy banking
privileges. such as they are.
From those who trade of their" own

occasion IS to be their banker, He is
converted into a bank of deposit BY
putting all the money of those whose
