INTERESTING DECISIONS REGARDING
OYSTER CULTURE.

Mr.. Thomas H. Robinsonha rendered
a number of interesting opinions for the
guidance of the Shell6sh Commission.
Among other points is the exact terri
tory that the law covers. Mr.. Robinson
says that the law applies to all the
waters of the state of Maryland, with
the sole exception of the Potomac river
The taking of oysters in that river is
regulated by the compact of 1885 made
between Maryland and Virginia. This
compact cannot be abrogated except by
the consent of the two states.
Senator Robinson also says that the
waters of the Patuxent river are covered
by this act. There was law passed at
the last Legislature relating to the
Patuxent river, which was signed after
the Hannah law. The latter is general
law, applying in terms to all the waters
of the state, and the Patuxent river act
is special law limited to the waters of
the Patuxent river.
The term" Chesapeake bay and its tribu-
taries" applies to all the tributaries of
rivers which do not empty Immediately
into the Chesapeake bay. The ones flow
ing indirectly into it come under this act
1t is commended that the waters of Wor-
cester county are excluded from the oper-
alton of the law Senator Robinson
says that this, however, is not the case,
as the local law relating to Worcester
county has been repealed by the oyster
culture act.
Mr.. Robinson also says that the lessee
of an oyster bed may use dredge, or
scrape or tong as he sees fit, and that a
gasoline engine may be used to work the
dredge, instead of having it worked by
hand. Steamboats, may be used to take
up oysters from leased lands. The les
