POACHERS' ARGUMENT.
The Cork Anglers club has been agi-
tating for one free days fishing each
week on the river Lee, and 1t has put
forward the amusing argument that II
this concession is granted by the Leo
conseryAtors the fish will be better
protected. Reduced TO the baldeSt lam
guage, the claim is that Il days free
fishing is allowed each week a number
of people who now fish on moonless
nights will join the club and content
themselves with daylight fishing on the
free day. The club supports Its case by
the report of the Bandon conservators
which declares that since the granting
of q similar privilege poaching. has
practically ceased and the number of
fish in the river has increased greatly.
