The Montpelier Argus comments
ON Il local fishing case as follows:
Windsor county court has decided
that Il man NAV be punished for fish
ing in waters posted by the state
though thcie were no signs forbid
ding fishing and notice to that effect
had been published in Il county pa
per two Years before. This is good
law, we presume, or the court would
not have so ruled. 1t is not the best
way to protect the fishing interests.
The purpose of the law is to keep
men from fishing in prohibited
waters. The punishment is fixed in
the law to keep them from fishing.
Men who violate it ought to be pun
lshcd, but the warning notice should
he kept posted, that there may be no
mistake, that the fish may be pro-
tccted and that no one may fish in
forbidden waters under misappre-
hcnsion.
